• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR146 - If global reference is 'N', NRRANGENR cannot be initial ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR146 typically occurs in the context of the SAP IS-DFPS (Industry Solution for Defense and Public Security) module, particularly when dealing with number ranges and their configurations. The error message indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of number ranges when the global reference is set to 'N'.
  Cause:
  The error message /ISDFPS/NR146 is triggered when:
  
  The global reference for a number range is set to 'N' (indicating that it is not a global reference).
  The number range object NRRANGENR is not initialized or is left empty, which is not allowed when the global reference is 'N'.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) in SAP.
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Ensure that the number range is properly defined and initialized.
  
  
  
  Initialize NRRANGENR:
  
  If the number range is not initialized, you need to initialize it. This can typically be done in the same configuration area where you define the number range.
  Make sure that the number range intervals are correctly set up and that they are not overlapping with other number ranges.
  
  
  
  Review Global Reference Settings:
  
  If the global reference is set to 'N', ensure that the application logic or configuration does not require it to be a global reference.
  If necessary, consider changing the global reference setting to 'Y' if it makes sense for your business process.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements that interact with the number range, review that code to ensure it is not causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the IS-DFPS module for any specific guidelines or known issues regarding number range configuration.
