  The SAP error message PG034, which states "Personnel number is not within interval for number range &1," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a personnel number that falls outside the defined range for the number range object associated with personnel numbers in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Number Range Configuration: The personnel number you are trying to use is not within the defined intervals for the number range object. This can happen if:
