• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO100 - Number range interval assigned to record type &1 is not internal ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO100 indicates that there is an issue with the number range interval assigned to a specific record type in the SAP system. This error typically arises when the number range is not set up correctly, particularly when it is expected to be an internal number range but is configured as an external one, or vice versa.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range for the specified record type is not set to internal, which is required for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Missing Number Range: The number range interval may not be defined for the record type in question.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the number range.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements, they might be incorrectly configured to use the number range.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the record type.
  Check the intervals defined for the number range. Ensure that the interval for the record type is set to "Internal" if that is what is required.
  If it is set to "External," you may need to change it to "Internal" or create a new internal number range interval.
  
  
  
  Define Number Range:
  
  If the number range is missing, you can create a new number range interval for the record type.
  Ensure that the number range is properly defined and activated.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module or functionality you are working with to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
