• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NJIT_MSG865 - Number ranges cannot have overlaps across rows ?

  The SAP error message NJIT_MSG865 indicates that there is an issue with number ranges in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that there are overlapping number ranges defined in the system, which is not allowed. Each number range must be unique and should not overlap with any other number range in the same context.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from one of the following situations:
  
  Overlapping Number Ranges: Two or more number ranges have been defined that overlap with each other. For example, if one number range is defined from 1000 to 2000 and another from 1500 to 2500, they overlap.
  Incorrect Configuration: During the configuration of number ranges, an error may have been made, leading to overlaps.
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it may have introduced overlapping ranges.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Overlapping Ranges:
  
  Go to the transaction code for managing number ranges (e.g., SNRO for number range objects).
  Check the number ranges defined for the relevant object and identify any overlaps.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges:
  
  Modify the number ranges to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve changing the start and end values of the ranges.
  Ensure that each number range is unique and does not conflict with others.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range objects to ensure they are set up correctly.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that the configuration aligns with business requirements.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the number ranges function as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the number ranges for future reference and to maintain a clear audit trail.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SNRO: To manage number range objects.
  SNUM: To display number ranges.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or patches related to number range management.
  
  
  Best Practices: 
  
  Regularly review number ranges to prevent overlaps.
  Implement a naming convention or numbering strategy to avoid conflicts in the future.
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
