• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KO164 - This is the last number in the number range ?

  The SAP error message KO164, which states "This is the last number in the number range," typically occurs when you are trying to create a new object (such as a cost center, internal order, or other master data) that requires a unique identifier from a number range, but the number range has been exhausted. This means that the last number in the defined range has been reached, and no new numbers are available for assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the object type you are trying to create has been fully utilized.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been properly configured to allow for sufficient numbers.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The object may be assigned to a number range that is not appropriate or has been incorrectly set up.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object (e.g., for cost centers, it might be COSTCENTER).
  Check the current number range intervals and extend them if necessary. You can add new intervals to allow for more numbers.
  Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible, you can create a new number range and assign it to the relevant object type.
  Ensure that the new number range is properly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Check for Configuration Errors:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Ensure that the number range is not locked or restricted in a way that prevents new numbers from being assigned.
