• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J3612 - In number range object &1, the number range &2 is not internal ?

  The SAP error message J3612 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific number range object. The message states that the number range specified is not set as "internal," which is required for certain operations in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The number range object specified (denoted as &1) is configured to use an external number range instead of an internal one.
  The system is trying to generate or assign a number from this range, but the configuration does not allow for internal number generation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the number range object (e.g., &1) and click on "Display."
  Check the configuration of the number range intervals. Ensure that the number range you are trying to use (e.g., &2) is set to "Internal."
  
  
  
  Change Number Range to Internal:
  
  If the number range is set to external and you need it to be internal, you will need to create a new number range interval or modify the existing one.
  To do this, you can use the "Change" option in SNRO and adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there is custom code or enhancements that are trying to use this number range, ensure that they are compatible with the number range settings.
