• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR389 - There are intervals with subobjects that are not numeric ?

  The SAP error message NR389 indicates that there are intervals with subobjects that are not numeric in the context of number range management. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or manage number ranges in SAP, and the system detects that the subobjects (which are used to define specific segments of the number range) contain non-numeric values.
  Cause:
  
  Non-numeric Subobjects: The primary cause of this error is that the subobjects defined in the number range intervals are not numeric. In SAP, number ranges are expected to be numeric, and any non-numeric characters will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings where the subobjects are incorrectly defined or entered.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the setup of number ranges can lead to non-numeric values being included.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check its configuration.
  Ensure that all subobjects are defined correctly and are numeric.
  
  
  
  Review Intervals:
  
  In the same transaction, check the intervals defined for the number range.
  Make sure that all intervals are numeric and do not contain any letters or special characters.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  If you find any non-numeric entries, correct them to ensure that all subobjects are numeric.
  Save the changes and try to execute the operation again.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary corrections, test the number range functionality to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Number Range Management: Understanding how number ranges work in SAP is crucial. Number ranges are used to generate unique identifiers for various objects (like documents, invoices, etc.) in SAP.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SNRO (for number range objects) and SNUM (for number range management).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed guidance on number range management and configuration.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or technical team for further investigation, as there may be underlying issues with the system configuration or data integrity.
