• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR018 - Specify only one interval ?

  The SAP error message NR018 ("Specify only one interval") typically occurs in the context of number range management when you are trying to define or manipulate number ranges in SAP. This error indicates that the system expects you to specify only one interval for the number range, but it has detected multiple intervals or an incorrect configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Intervals Defined: You may have inadvertently defined more than one interval for a number range object when the system expects only one.
  Incorrect Input: The input fields for defining the number range may have been filled incorrectly, leading the system to interpret it as multiple intervals.
  Configuration Error: There might be a configuration issue in the number range settings that needs to be addressed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check its configuration.
  Ensure that only one interval is defined for the number range. If there are multiple intervals, remove the unnecessary ones.
  
  
  
  Review Input Fields:
  
  If you are entering data in a transaction that uses number ranges, double-check the input fields to ensure that you are not inadvertently specifying multiple intervals.
  
  
  
  Adjust Settings:
  
  If you are using a custom number range object, review the custom code or settings to ensure that it adheres to the expected configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on number range management to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  
  
  Testing:
