• Message text: Documents from the CO interface require an internal number range

What causes this issue?

In cost accounting, postings from other SAP modules are written to
separate documents. The SAP System cannot assign these documents a
number because no number range is maintained for internal number
assignment in controlling area &V2&, transaction &V3&.

Maintain number ranges for &V1. To do so, assign &V3& to a group and
define a number range for internal assignment to this group.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KI283 - Documents from the CO interface require an internal number range ?

  The SAP error message KI283 indicates that there is an issue with the internal number range for documents coming from the Controlling (CO) interface. This error typically arises when the system is unable to assign a document number to a CO document because the internal number range is not properly configured or is exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The internal number range for CO documents may not be defined or may not be active.
  Exhausted Number Range: The defined number range may have been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the number range.
  System Settings: The system settings for the CO interface may not be correctly configured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KI283 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to CO documents (usually CO_DOC or similar).
  Ensure that the number range is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Define or Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is not defined, you will need to create a new number range.
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend the range by adding more numbers.
  Make sure to set the number range as "internal" if it is meant to be automatically assigned by the system.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range.
  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they have the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Review CO Interface Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the CO interface in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., OKKP for controlling area settings).
  Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the configuration by trying to post a CO document again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration steps, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or CO module expert.
