• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR601 - Interval &, subobject & overlaps with interval & subobject & ?

  The SAP error message NR601 indicates that there is an overlap in the intervals defined for a specific object in the system. This typically occurs in the context of number ranges, where two or more number ranges are defined in such a way that they overlap, which can lead to inconsistencies and errors in number assignment.
  Cause:
  The error message NR601 is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a number range interval that overlaps with an existing interval for the same object.
  The intervals defined for the number range are not mutually exclusive, meaning that the start and end values of one interval fall within the start and end values of another interval.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the NR601 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Overlapping Intervals:
  
  Check the number range intervals defined for the specific object (e.g., document types, master data) in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) to view the number range objects and their intervals.
  
  
  
  Modify the Intervals:
  
  Adjust the intervals to ensure that they do not overlap. This may involve:
  
  Changing the start or end values of one or more intervals.
  Deleting or merging intervals if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Consistency:
  
  After making changes, ensure that all intervals are correctly defined and do not overlap.
  Test the number range assignment to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made are transported to the production environment as needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SNRO: To manage number range objects.
  SNUM: To display number ranges.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on number range management and best practices for defining intervals.
  
  
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly review number range definitions to prevent overlaps.
  Document any changes made to number ranges for future reference.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the NR601 error and ensure that your number range intervals are correctly configured.
