  The SAP error message L3187, which states "Number range interval & for inventory TO not found," typically occurs when the system is unable to find a valid number range interval for creating a Transfer Order (TO) in inventory management. This can happen for several reasons, including configuration issues or missing number range assignments.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Object: The number range object for Transfer Orders (usually L_TO) may not be defined in the system.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  Ensure that the intervals are correctly defined with a valid range and that they are not overlapping with other intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create Transfer Orders. This can be checked in the user roles and profiles.
