• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REEXCA017 - Number range object &1 could not be locked ?

  The SAP error message REEXCA017 indicates that the system is unable to lock a number range object, which is necessary for generating unique numbers for various business processes. This error typically occurs when there is a contention for the number range object, meaning that another process or user is currently using it, or there is a configuration issue.
  Causes:
  
  Concurrent Access: Multiple users or processes are trying to access the same number range object simultaneously, leading to a lock contention.
  Configuration Issues: The number range object may not be properly configured or may not exist in the system.
