• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT058 - Interval overflow while generating sequence number ?

  The SAP error message /PRA/CHECK_INPUT058 Interval overflow while generating sequence number typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is an issue with generating sequence numbers for certain processes, such as document numbering or transaction processing. This error indicates that the system has attempted to generate a sequence number that exceeds the defined limits or intervals.
  Causes:
  
  
  Sequence Number Limit Reached: The most common cause is that the defined range for the sequence number has been exhausted. This can happen if the sequence number is defined with a limited range and all possible numbers have been used.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the number range intervals in the system can lead to this error. For example, if the intervals are not set up correctly or if there are overlaps in the number ranges.
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, it may have introduced sequence numbers that conflict with the existing ranges.
  
  
  Custom Development: Custom programs or enhancements that generate sequence numbers may not handle the limits correctly, leading to overflow.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the configuration for the relevant number range object.
  Ensure that the intervals are correctly defined and that there is sufficient range available.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the current number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adding new intervals or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are custom developments involved, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles the generation of sequence numbers and checks for overflow conditions.
  
  
  
  Data Cleanup:
  
  If the issue is related to data migration, consider cleaning up or adjusting the existing sequence numbers to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues related to sequence number generation.
  
  
  
  System Restart:
  
  In some cases, a system restart may help clear temporary issues, although this is less common for this type of error.
