• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR665 - For & & intervals exist already, cannot be copied ?

  The SAP error message NR665 indicates that there are already existing intervals for the number range you are trying to copy. This typically occurs when you attempt to copy a number range interval that overlaps with an existing interval in the system.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are trying to copy a number range interval that already exists in the target number range object.
  The intervals you are trying to copy conflict with existing intervals, meaning they overlap or are not unique.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Intervals:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check the existing intervals.
  Identify if there are any overlapping intervals that conflict with the intervals you are trying to copy.
  
  
  
  Adjust Intervals:
  
  If you find overlapping intervals, you may need to adjust the existing intervals to make room for the new intervals you want to copy.
  You can delete or modify the existing intervals if they are no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Copy with Unique Intervals:
  
  Ensure that the intervals you are trying to copy do not overlap with any existing intervals.
  If necessary, create new intervals that do not conflict with existing ones.
  
  
  
  Use Different Number Range:
  
  If the existing number range is critical and cannot be modified, consider using a different number range object or creating a new one for your requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for best practices regarding number range management.
