• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTC_DOC_POSTING011 - Number range: Maximum number has been issued ?

  The SAP error message RTC_DOC_POSTING011, which states "Number range: Maximum number has been issued," typically occurs when you are trying to create a document (such as an invoice, purchase order, etc.) and the number range assigned to that document type has been exhausted. This means that all the numbers in the defined range have been used up, and there are no more available numbers to assign to new documents.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the document type has reached its maximum limit.
  Configuration Issues: The number range may not be configured correctly, or it may not have been extended to accommodate more numbers.
  Incorrect Number Range Assignment: The document type may be assigned to a number range that is not appropriate or has been incorrectly set up.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the relevant number range object (e.g., for invoices, it might be FBNR for financial documents).
  Check the current status of the number range and see if it has reached its maximum limit.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by:
  
  Going to transaction code SNRO.
  Selecting the number range object and clicking on "Change."
  Adjusting the upper limit of the number range to allow for more numbers.
  Save your changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible, you can create a new number range:
  
  In transaction code SNRO, create a new number range object.
  Assign the new number range to the relevant document type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the document type is correctly assigned to the appropriate number range.
  You can check this in the configuration settings for the specific module (e.g., Financial Accounting, Materials Management).
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or SAP Support:
  
  If you are unsure about making changes to number ranges or if the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for assistance.
