• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO106 - Engineering record &1 is within an internal number range interval ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/ECR_BO106 Engineering record &1 is within an internal number range interval typically indicates that there is an issue with the internal number range configuration for engineering records in the SAP system. This error occurs when the system attempts to create or access an engineering change record (ECR) that falls within a number range that is not currently valid or is restricted.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The internal number range for engineering records may not be properly configured or may have been set to a range that is not currently active.
  Number Range Intervals: The number range intervals may overlap or be incorrectly defined, leading to conflicts when the system tries to assign a new number.
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the correct number range.
  System Settings: The system settings for the specific application area may not be correctly set up.
  
  Solution:

  Adjust Number Range Intervals:
  
  If the intervals are overlapping or incorrectly defined, adjust them to ensure that they do not conflict.
  Make sure that the number range is not exhausted (i.e., all numbers in the range have been used).
  
  
  
  Activate Number Range:
  
  If the number range is inactive, activate it to allow the system to use it for creating new engineering records.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
