• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR149 - If global reference is 'L', NRRANGENR cannot be initial ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/NR149 indicates an issue related to the configuration of number ranges in the SAP system, specifically in the context of the ISDFPS (Industry Solution for Defense and Public Security) module. The error message states that if the global reference is set to 'L', the number range object NRRANGENR cannot be initial (i.e., it must be assigned a valid number range).
  Cause:
  
  Global Reference Setting: The global reference is likely set to 'L', which indicates that the system expects a specific number range to be defined for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Missing Number Range: The number range object NRRANGENR has not been defined or initialized in the system, leading to this error when the system attempts to access it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object associated with the error (in this case, it might be related to the specific application or module you are working with).
  Ensure that the number range is defined and that it is not empty. If it is empty, you will need to create or adjust the number range.
  
  
  
  Define a Number Range:
  
  If the number range is not defined, you can create a new number range by following these steps:
  
  In the SNRO transaction, select the relevant number range object.
  Click on the "Intervals" button to define a new interval.
  Specify the interval details (e.g., from number, to number, and the status).
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Global Reference Settings:
  
  Ensure that the global reference settings are correctly configured for your business process. If 'L' is not appropriate, consider changing it to a suitable value based on your requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction or process that triggered the error to ensure that it is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the implications of number ranges and global references.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting the SAP Community for further assistance.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SNRO for number range management and SE11 for data dictionary objects, as they may be useful in troubleshooting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /ISDFPS/NR149 and ensure that your number range configuration is correct.
