• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE306 - The number range does not exist ?

  The SAP error message KE306 ("The number range does not exist") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) module transactions, particularly when dealing with internal orders, cost centers, or other CO-related objects. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid number range for the object you are trying to create or process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range: The number range for the specific object type (e.g., internal orders, cost centers) has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Not Assigned: The number range may exist but is not assigned to the relevant object type.

  Solution:
  
  
  Define Number Range:

  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active and not locked or deactivated.
  You can check the status in the same transaction codes mentioned above.
