• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR081 - Interval number &1 (object &2) does not exist ?

  The SAP error message NR081 indicates that there is an issue with the number range interval for a specific object. This error typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a number (like a document number or an invoice number) but cannot find a valid number range interval for the specified object.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Interval: The specified number range interval for the object does not exist in the system. This can happen if the number range has not been defined or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the number range may not be set up correctly, or the number range may not be assigned to the relevant object.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range object.
  Client-Specific Settings: The number range may be defined in a different client, and the current client does not have access to it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name (the one indicated in the error message) and check if the number range intervals are defined.
  If the intervals are missing, you may need to create a new number range interval.
  
  
  
  Create/Modify Number Range:
  
  If you need to create a new number range, you can do this in the same transaction (SNRO) by selecting the object and creating a new interval.
  Ensure that the interval is active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Object:
  
  If the number range exists but is not assigned to the object, you may need to assign it. This can usually be done in the customizing settings for the specific application area.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Client Settings:
  
  If the number range is defined in a different client, you may need to transport the configuration or create the number range in the current client.
