• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L4128 - Change number range interval & (end of interval too near) ?

  The SAP error message L4128, which states "Change number range interval & (end of interval too near)," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a change number range in the SAP system, and the end of the defined interval is too close to the current number being used. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to assign a new change number or when the system is attempting to generate a new change number.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Exhaustion: The defined number range for change numbers is nearing its end, meaning there are very few numbers left to assign.
  Configuration Issues: The number range intervals may not have been set up correctly, or the intervals may be too narrow for the volume of change numbers being generated.
  System Settings: The system may have restrictions or settings that limit the number of change numbers that can be generated within a certain timeframe.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for change numbers (usually ECRD for change numbers).
  Check the current intervals and extend the end of the interval to allow for more change numbers to be generated.
  Make sure to save your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Existing Change Numbers:
  
  Review the existing change numbers to see if there are any that can be deleted or archived if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the number range is frequently running out, consider adjusting the configuration to allow for a larger range or more frequent intervals.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that the number range settings align with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the creation of change numbers to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
