• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_HARM015 - Number range &1 defined for object &2; range: &3, numbering: &4 ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_SUPPL_HARM015 indicates an issue with the number range configuration for a specific object in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system. This error typically arises when the system attempts to generate or assign a number to a new object (like a supplier or material) but encounters a problem with the defined number range.
  Cause:
  The error message can be triggered by several factors:
  
  Number Range Not Defined: The number range for the specified object (e.g., supplier) is not defined in the system.
  Number Range Exhausted: The defined number range has been exhausted, meaning all available numbers within that range have been used.
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the number range, such as incorrect intervals or settings.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or use the defined number range.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name (e.g., for suppliers, it might be SUPPLIER or similar) and check if the number range is defined.
  Verify that the number range intervals are correctly set up and that they are active.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adding new intervals or increasing the upper limit of the existing range.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects using the number range. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements that interact with the number range, review them to ensure they are functioning correctly.
