• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR136 - The intervals were changed ?

  The SAP error message NR136, which states "The intervals were changed," typically occurs in the context of number range management in SAP. This error indicates that the number range intervals for a specific object have been modified, which can lead to inconsistencies or issues when trying to generate new numbers within that range.
  Cause:
  
  Modification of Number Range Intervals: The most common cause of this error is that the number range intervals for a specific object (like documents, orders, etc.) have been altered after they were initially defined. This can happen due to manual changes in the number range configuration.
  Concurrent Access: If multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same number range at the same time, it can lead to conflicts and trigger this error.
  Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the data related to the number range, such as gaps or overlaps in the intervals, this error may also occur.
  
  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 intervals are correctly defined and that there are no overlaps or gaps.
  Review Changes: If the intervals were changed recently, review the changes made to understand why they were altered. If necessary, revert to the previous configuration if it was stable.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the number range. You can use transaction SNUM to check the status of the number ranges and ensure that they are functioning correctly.
  Locking Mechanism: Ensure that there are no locking issues. If multiple users are trying to access the same number range, consider implementing a locking mechanism to prevent concurrent access issues.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to number range management for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps that may apply to your situation.
