• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ_E111 - Please check number range interval (approaching interval end) ?

  The SAP error message OQ_E111, which states "Please check number range interval (approaching interval end)," typically occurs when the system is nearing the end of a defined number range for a specific object. This can happen in various modules, such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), or others where number ranges are used for document numbering.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Exhaustion: The number range defined for a particular document type is close to its upper limit. This means that the system is running out of available numbers to assign to new documents.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not have been properly configured to accommodate the expected volume of documents.
  Limited Number Range: The number range interval may have been set too narrowly, leading to quicker exhaustion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Check the current intervals and extend the upper limit of the number range if necessary.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range interval.
  Assign the new number range to the relevant document type.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to prevent future occurrences of this issue.
  Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators when the number range is approaching its limit.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for best practices regarding number range management.
