• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2079 - Error assigning numbers to key figures (is number range full?) ?

  The SAP error message M2079, which states "Error assigning numbers to key figures (is number range full?)", typically occurs when the system is unable to assign a number to a key figure due to issues with the number range. This can happen in various contexts, such as during the creation of documents, postings, or when generating reports.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Exhaustion: The most common cause of this error is that the number range assigned to the key figure has been exhausted. This means that all the available numbers in the defined range have been used up.
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured or may not be set up for the specific key figure you are trying to use.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the number range.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the overall configuration of the SAP system that affect number range management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object associated with the key figure and check the current status of the number range.
  If the number range is full, you will need to extend it.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is indeed full, you can extend it by adjusting the upper limit of the number range.
  This can be done in the same transaction (SNRO) by selecting the number range and modifying its parameters.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new number range for the key figure if extending the existing one is not feasible.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the number range is correctly assigned to the key figure in the relevant configuration settings.
  This can typically be done in the customizing settings (transaction SPRO) under the relevant module.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the number range settings.
