• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M1104 - Number assignment errors in interval &1 for object &2 ?

  The SAP error message M1104 indicates a number assignment error in a specified interval for a particular object. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to assign a new number to a document or object because the number range defined for that object has been exhausted or is not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for the specified object has been completely used up. This can happen if the number range is not large enough to accommodate the volume of documents being created.
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly defined or activated in the system.
  Number Range Intervals: There may be overlapping or conflicting intervals defined for the number range.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or use the number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  Check the intervals defined for the number range and ensure they are correctly set up and active.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:

  Check for Overlaps:
  
  Ensure that there are no overlapping intervals that could cause conflicts in number assignment.
