• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECAAP030 - Internal number assignment active - transferred number &1 is ignored ?

  The SAP error message RECAAP030 indicates that there is an issue with the internal number assignment for a specific document or transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Real Estate Management (RE) module, particularly when dealing with number ranges for objects like contracts, leases, or other real estate-related documents.
  Cause:
  The error message "Internal number assignment active - transferred number &1 is ignored" usually arises due to the following reasons:
  
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the specific object type is set to internal assignment, but an external number is being provided. This means that the system is expecting to generate the number automatically rather than accepting a user-defined number.
  
  
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type being used may not be configured correctly to allow for external number assignment.
  
  
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system that manipulate number assignments, they may not be aligned with the standard configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RECAAP030 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object for the document type you are working with.
  Ensure that the number range is set to "Internal" if you want the system to generate the number automatically. If you need to use external numbers, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check the configuration for the document type in the relevant customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the document type allows for external number assignment if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Adjust Input Data:
  
  If you are trying to input an external number, ensure that the number range is configured to accept it. If it is not, you may need to remove the external number from your input.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help notes related to number range management in the Real Estate Management module for additional insights.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there are any custom developments that might affect number assignment, review the code to ensure it aligns with the expected behavior of the system.
