• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR386 - Intervals (non-deletable) exist for object & (client &) ?

  The SAP error message NR386 indicates that there are non-deletable intervals for a specific object in a particular client. This typically occurs in the context of number range objects, where certain intervals are defined and cannot be deleted due to various reasons, such as being in use or having been locked.
  Cause:
  
  Existing Intervals: The number range object has defined intervals that are currently in use or have been locked.
  Non-deletable Status: The intervals may be marked as non-deletable due to configuration settings or because they are linked to existing documents or transactions.
  Client-Specific Data: The error is specific to the client you are working in, meaning that the intervals exist only in that particular client.
