Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT057 - Number range is not intern to generate sequence number ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT057: Number range is not intern to generate sequence number typically occurs in the context of number range management within SAP, particularly when dealing with internal number ranges for generating sequence numbers in certain applications, such as SAP PRA (Project Resource Allocation) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range that is being referenced is not set up as an internal number range. In SAP, number ranges can be defined as either internal or external. An internal number range is one where the system automatically generates the numbers, while an external number range requires the user to provide the numbers.
  
  
  Missing Number Range Assignment: The number range might not be assigned to the relevant object or document type that you are trying to create.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization issues preventing the system from accessing the number range.
  
  
  Number Range Status: The number range might be locked or not available for use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check its configuration.
  Ensure that the number range is set as "Internal" if you want the system to generate the numbers automatically.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range:
  
  If the number range is not assigned, you may need to assign it to the relevant document type or object.
  This can typically be done in the customizing settings for the specific application area.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the number range.
  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they have the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Ensure that the number range is not locked or inactive.
  You can check this in the same SNRO transaction by reviewing the status of the number range.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the specific number range object, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team.
