  • Error Code: R1091

    Error Message: Grouping & has external number assignment, enter a number


    Summary

    This error occurs when you try to create or process a grouping object that requires an externally assigned number, but no number has been entered. The system expects a manual input of the number because the number assignment for this grouping is set to external.


    Root Causes

    • The number range for the grouping is configured for external assignment, requiring manual entry of the number.
    • User omitted entering the required external number during document or master data creation.
    • Incorrect or missing configuration in number range intervals for the grouping object.
    • Master data or transaction settings do not align with the number assignment method defined in customizing.
