• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR885 - Only some free intervals determined (non-numeric intervals) ?

  The SAP error message NR885 ("Only some free intervals determined (non-numeric intervals)") typically occurs in the context of number range management, particularly when dealing with number ranges for document types, master data, or other entities that require unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system was unable to find a complete set of free number intervals for the specified number range object. The reasons for this can include:
  
  Non-numeric Intervals: The number range intervals defined may not be numeric, or there may be gaps in the defined intervals.
  Configuration Issues: The number range object may not be properly configured, or the intervals may not be correctly defined in the number range management settings.
  Exhausted Number Ranges: The defined number ranges may have been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The document type or object may not be correctly assigned to the number range.
