• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR379 - Do not specify identical internal and external number range number fields ?

  The SAP error message NR379 indicates that there is a conflict between the internal and external number range settings for a particular number range object. This typically occurs when both the internal and external number ranges are set to the same number range interval, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to define a number range object where the internal and external number ranges overlap or are identical. In SAP, internal number ranges are generated by the system, while external number ranges are user-defined. Having them set to the same range can lead to confusion and conflicts in number assignment.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the number range settings in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Number Range Object:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the name of the number range object that is causing the error and click on "Change".
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals:
  
  In the number range intervals section, check the defined intervals for both internal and external number ranges.
  Ensure that the intervals for internal and external number ranges do not overlap or are not identical.
  
  
  
  Modify the Number Ranges:
  
  If you find that the internal and external ranges are identical, modify one of them to ensure they are distinct. For example, you can change the external number range to a different interval that does not conflict with the internal range.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After saving, test the configuration by trying to create a new document or object that uses the number range to ensure that the error NR379 no longer appears.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Number Range Object: A number range object in SAP is a way to manage the assignment of unique numbers to various business objects (like invoices, purchase orders, etc.).
  Internal vs. External Number Ranges: Internal number ranges are automatically generated by the system, while external number ranges are manually assigned by users. It is important to keep these separate to avoid conflicts.
  Transaction Codes: Besides SNRO, you may also use SNUM to manage number ranges or OBA7 for number range management in financial accounting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the NR379 error and ensure that your number range settings are correctly configured.
