• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR058 - No used buffers exist ?

  The SAP error message NR058 ("No used buffers exist") typically occurs in the context of SAP's number range management. This error indicates that there are no available number ranges in the specified number range object, which means that the system cannot assign a new number because all the defined ranges have been exhausted or are not properly configured.
  Causes:
  
  Exhausted Number Ranges: The number range has been completely used up, and there are no more numbers available for assignment.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range object may not be properly configured, or the intervals may not be set up correctly.
  Missing Number Range Intervals: The number range intervals may not have been defined or activated for the specific number range object.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create new number ranges.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object and check the configuration.
  Ensure that there are defined intervals and that they are active.
  
  
  
  Create New Number Range Intervals:
  
  If the existing intervals are exhausted, you may need to create new intervals.
  In transaction SNRO, select the number range object and create a new interval with a valid range of numbers.
  
  
  
  Adjust Existing Intervals:
  
  If there are existing intervals but they are not sufficient, you can adjust the upper limit of the existing intervals to allow for more numbers.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify number ranges. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
