• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MIMA258 - Caution: Number range &1 (object &2) has reached upper limit ?

  The SAP error message MIMA258 indicates that a specific number range for a given object has reached its upper limit. This means that the system can no longer assign new numbers from this range, which can disrupt processes that rely on generating unique identifiers, such as document numbers, order numbers, etc.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The defined number range for a specific object (e.g., material documents, sales orders, etc.) has been exhausted.
  The upper limit of the number range has been reached, meaning that all possible numbers within that range have been assigned.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name (e.g., the object associated with the error) and check the current number range settings.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by creating a new number range or adjusting the existing one.
  In the SNRO transaction, you can create a new interval or modify the existing interval to increase the upper limit.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new number range object and assign it to the relevant application area.
  Ensure that the new number range is properly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments:
  
  If there are custom developments or enhancements that use this number range, ensure they are updated to use the new or extended number range.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the new number range is functioning correctly and that the error does not reoccur.
