• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK014 - Number range &1 has been exceeded ?

  The SAP error message PK014 indicates that a specific number range has been exceeded. This typically occurs when the system has run out of available numbers in a defined number range for a particular object, such as production orders, purchase orders, or other transactional documents.
  Cause:
  
  Exhaustion of Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range for a specific object has been completely used up. This can happen if the number range is too small for the volume of transactions being processed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the number range, such as incorrect settings or not having enough intervals defined.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The object may be incorrectly assigned to a number range that has already been exhausted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error (e.g., for production orders, it might be PROD_ORDER).
  Check the current intervals and extend the number range by adding new intervals or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible, you can create a new number range and assign it to the relevant object.
  Ensure that the new number range is properly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Assignment:
  
  Verify that the object is correctly assigned to the appropriate number range. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  Regularly monitor the usage of number ranges to prevent future occurrences of this error. Set up alerts or reports to track the consumption of number ranges.
