• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M4003 - Program terminated: Number range for object & not defined ?

  The SAP error message M4003, which states "Program terminated: Number range for object & not defined," typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a document number (such as a material document, purchase order, etc.) but cannot find a defined number range for the specified object. This can happen in various modules, including Materials Management (MM), Sales and Distribution (SD), and others.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Definition: The number range for the specific object (e.g., material documents, purchase orders) has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Object Not Assigned: The number range object may exist, but it is not assigned to the relevant document type or transaction.
  Number Range Status: The number range may be set to "not available" or may have been exhausted (i.e., all numbers in the range have been used).
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings related to number ranges in the relevant module.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the M4003 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name that corresponds to the error message (you can find this in the error message itself).
  Check if the number range is defined and if it is active.
  
  
  
  Define or Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is not defined, you will need to create a new number range for the object.
  If it is defined but not assigned, you may need to assign it to the relevant document type.
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend the range or create a new one.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Document Type:
  
  Use transaction code OMH0 (for MM) or the relevant transaction for your module to assign the number range to the document type.
  Ensure that the number range is correctly linked to the document type you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
