• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M4005 - Program terminated (no. range for object & is full) ?

  The SAP error message M4005 ("Program terminated (no. range for object & is full)") typically occurs when the number range for a specific object in the SAP system has been exhausted. This means that the system has run out of available numbers to assign to new documents or records for that particular object.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for a specific object (like material documents, purchase orders, etc.) has been completely used up.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been properly configured to allow for sufficient numbers.

  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
