• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR652 - Enter a From number less than the To number ?

  The SAP error message NR652 ("Enter a From number less than the To number") typically occurs when you are trying to create or manage number ranges in SAP, such as for document numbers, invoice numbers, or other sequential identifiers. This error indicates that the "From" number you have entered is greater than or equal to the "To" number, which is not allowed in number range definitions.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Number Range Definition: The most common cause is that the "From" number is set to a value that is greater than or equal to the "To" number in the number range configuration.
  Data Entry Error: A simple typographical error when entering the numbers can also lead to this issue.
  Configuration Issues: If the number range is being configured in a way that conflicts with existing ranges or settings, it may trigger this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check the defined ranges.
  Ensure that the "From" number is less than the "To" number.
  
  
  
  Modify the Number Range:
  
  If you find that the "From" number is indeed greater than or equal to the "To" number, you will need to adjust the values.
  Change the "From" number to a value that is less than the "To" number.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and try to perform the action that triggered the error again.
  
  
  
  Check for Overlapping Ranges:
  
  Ensure that there are no overlapping ranges that could cause conflicts. Each number range should be unique and not overlap with others.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct values to use, consult your organization's documentation or SAP help resources for guidance on number range management.
