RMSRCPDIA014 - Details

• The SAP error message RMSRCPDIA014, which states "Name &1 is not intended for external number assignment," typically occurs in the context of number assignment for certain objects in SAP, such as resources, materials, or other master data. This error indicates that the system is trying to assign an external number to an object that is not configured to allow external number assignment.

  Incorrect Number Range: The number range assigned to the object may not be set up to allow external assignments.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types in SAP are inherently designed to use internal number assignment only.

  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration settings in SAP (e.g., SPRO) and check the number range settings for the object type
