• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ITOB201 - The last number from the interval & was assigned ?

  The SAP error message ITOB201 indicates that the last number from a specified number range interval has been assigned. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a new document or record (such as a sales order, invoice, etc.) that requires a unique number from a number range, but the number range has been exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the specific document type has been completely used up. This means that all the numbers in the defined range have been assigned to existing documents.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range may not be configured correctly, or the intervals may not be set up to accommodate the expected volume of documents.
  Manual Assignment: If the number range is set to manual assignment, it may not have been updated to include new numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the document type that is causing the error.
  Check the current intervals and extend the number range by adding a new interval with a higher upper limit.
  Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Use transaction code SNUM to check the status of the number range. This will show you the current usage and the maximum number assigned.
  If the number range is exhausted, you can create a new interval or adjust the existing one.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the number range is appropriate for your business needs. This includes checking if the number range is set to automatic or manual assignment and adjusting it as necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for best practices on managing number ranges.
  
  
  
  Testing:
