• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTC_MODEL_01201 - Number range exceeded; maintain number range for entity &1 ?

  The SAP error message RTC_MODEL_01201 indicates that the number range for a specific entity has been exceeded. This typically occurs when the system has run out of available numbers in the defined range for a particular object, such as a document, transaction, or master data record.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause is that the defined number range for the entity has been fully utilized. This can happen if the number range is too small for the volume of transactions being processed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings, such as incorrect intervals or limits.
  Multiple Clients: If you are working in a multi-client environment, the number range might be shared across clients, leading to exhaustion in one client affecting others.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the entity that is causing the error.
  Check the current status of the number range to see if it has been exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding more numbers to the range.
  In the SNRO transaction, select the number range object and adjust the intervals to increase the available numbers.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new number range for the entity and assign it accordingly.
  Ensure that the new range does not overlap with existing ranges.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the number range to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Make sure that the number range is properly assigned to the relevant entity.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that new records can be created without issues.
