  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KM711 - Number range for local document type &1 nearly full ?

    The SAP error message KM711 indicates that the number range for a local document type is nearly full. This typically occurs when the system is close to exhausting the available numbers in a defined number range for a specific document type. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:

    Cause:

    1. Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the local document type is nearing its upper limit. Each document type in SAP has a specific number range assigned to it, and once the maximum number is reached, the system cannot generate new document numbers.
    2. Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been configured properly, or it may not have been extended to accommodate the volume of documents being processed.
    3. High Volume of Transactions: A sudden increase in the number of transactions or documents being created can lead to the number range being filled more quickly than anticipated.

    Solution:

    1. Extend the Number Range:

      • Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
      • Find the relevant number range object associated with the local document type that is causing the error.
      • Check the current number range settings and extend the range if necessary. You can do this by adjusting the upper limit of the number range.
      • Ensure that the new range does not conflict with existing ranges.
    2. Check Number Range Status:

      • Use transaction code SNUM to check the status of the number range. This will show you how many numbers are still available and the current usage.
    3. Create a New Number Range:

      • If the existing number range is not sufficient, consider creating a new number range and assigning it to the document type. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction.
    4. Monitor Usage:

      • Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to prevent this issue from occurring in the future. Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators when a number range is nearing its limit.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SNRO: Number Range Objects
      • SNUM: Number Range Status
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed instructions on managing number ranges.
    • User Roles: Ensure that the user performing these actions has the necessary authorizations to modify number ranges.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the KM711 error and ensure that your SAP system can continue to generate document numbers without interruption.
