• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP_MODEL104 - Not continous sequence numbering ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_RCP_MODEL104 indicating "Not continuous sequence numbering" typically arises in the context of SAP's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or similar modules where sequence numbers are expected to follow a continuous pattern. This error can occur during various operations, such as creating or processing records that require unique identifiers or sequence numbers.
  Cause:
  
  Gaps in Sequence Numbers: The most common cause of this error is that the system has detected gaps in the sequence numbering. For example, if the system expects a sequence of numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4) but finds a jump (e.g., 1, 2, 4), it will trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of number ranges in the system, leading to improper assignment of sequence numbers.
  Data Integrity Issues: If records were deleted or if there were issues during data migration, it could lead to non-continuous numbering.
  Concurrent Processing: If multiple users or processes are trying to create records simultaneously, it may lead to conflicts in sequence number assignment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Number Ranges: Review the configuration of number ranges in the relevant application area. Ensure that the number range is set up correctly and that there are no gaps.
  
  Transaction Code: SNRO (Number Range Objects)
  
  
  Identify Gaps: Use reports or queries to identify where the gaps in the sequence numbers are occurring. This may involve checking the database tables related to the specific object you are working with.
  Adjust Sequence Numbers: If gaps are found, you may need to adjust the sequence numbers manually or reconfigure the number range to ensure continuity.
  Data Cleanup: If the issue is due to deleted records or data integrity problems, consider cleaning up the data or restoring missing records.
  Locking Mechanisms: If concurrent processing is an issue, consider implementing locking mechanisms or adjusting the process to prevent simultaneous record creation that could lead to conflicts.
