• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABT_BW059 - Number range object &1 is buffered ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABT_BW059 indicates that the number range object specified (denoted as &1) is buffered. This typically occurs in the context of number range management in SAP, where the system is trying to allocate a number from a number range that is set to be buffered, but the buffer is not available or has been exhausted.
  Cause:
  
  Buffered Number Range: The number range object is configured to use buffering, which means that the system keeps a certain number of numbers in memory for quick access. If the buffer is exhausted or not properly initialized, you may encounter this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the number range object itself, such as incorrect settings or missing entries.
  System Load: High system load or performance issues can also lead to problems with number range buffering.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the number range object in question and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the number range is correctly defined and that the intervals are properly set.
  
  
  
  Adjust Buffering Settings:
  
  If the buffering is causing issues, consider changing the buffering settings for the number range object. You can do this in the same SNRO transaction.
  You may choose to disable buffering for this number range object if it is not necessary.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffer:
  
  You can clear the buffer for the number range object by using transaction code SNUM or by restarting the application server. This can help if the buffer is stuck or not refreshing properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the number range object that could be preventing it from being accessed.
  
  
  
  Monitor System Performance:
  
  If the issue is related to system load, monitor the performance of the SAP system and consider optimizing it.
