Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RDSV_FI_XX317 - Number range number &1 &2 &3 with external numbering is not supported ?

  The SAP error message RDSV_FI_XX317 indicates that there is an issue with the number range configuration for a specific document type or transaction. The error specifically states that the number range you are trying to use is set to "external numbering," which is not supported for the operation you are attempting to perform.
  Cause:
  
  External Numbering Configuration: The number range you are trying to use is configured for external numbering, which means that the system expects the user to provide the document number manually. However, the transaction or process you are executing is trying to generate a number automatically.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The document type or transaction may be incorrectly assigned to a number range that is not compatible with the operation being performed.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in your SAP system, they may not be handling the external numbering correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the document type or transaction.
  Check the configuration for the number range. If it is set to "external," consider changing it to "internal" if automatic number generation is required.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Type Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration for the document type (e.g., in Financial Accounting, you can check through transaction code OBAR for document types).
  Ensure that the document type is assigned to a number range that supports internal numbering if you want the system to generate numbers automatically.
  
  
  
  Manual Number Entry:
  
  If external numbering is indeed required, ensure that you are manually entering the document number as expected by the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to number range management for further insights on how to configure number ranges properly.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments, review the code to ensure it correctly handles the number range logic.
