• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MRNB225 - Number entered &1 causes gaps (Last-entered number: &2) ?

  The SAP error message MRNB225 indicates that there is a problem with the number range for a specific document or transaction. This error typically occurs when the number entered for a document (like a purchase order, invoice, etc.) causes gaps in the number range, which can happen for several reasons.
  Cause:
  
  
  Number Range Gaps: The number you are trying to enter falls outside the defined number range or creates a gap in the sequence of numbers. This can happen if:
  
  The last number used in the sequence is not the one expected.
  There are missing numbers in the sequence due to deletions or manual entries.
  The number range has not been properly defined or configured.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The number range might not be correctly set up in the system, or there may be multiple number ranges defined, and the system is trying to use a number from a range that is not currently active.
  
  
  Document Type Issues: The document type associated with the number range may not be correctly configured, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the number range is correctly defined and that there are no gaps in the sequence.
  
  
  
  Review Last Used Number:
  
  Check the last used number in the number range. You can do this by using the transaction code SNUM to see the last number assigned and ensure that the next number you are trying to enter is valid.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If there are gaps, you may need to adjust the number range settings. This can involve extending the number range or reassigning the last used number to ensure continuity.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Ensure that the document type associated with the number range is correctly configured. You can check this in the relevant customizing settings (e.g., for purchase orders, check in the Materials Management module).
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
