• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPCE/DPCM1091 - Check number range interval; Interval end approaching ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/DPCM1091 Check number range interval; Interval end approaching typically indicates that a number range interval for a specific object is nearing its limit. This can occur in various SAP modules where number ranges are used to generate unique identifiers for documents, transactions, or other entities.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error message is that the defined number range interval for a specific object (like purchase orders, invoices, etc.) is close to reaching its maximum limit. Each number range is defined with a start and an end value, and when the current number being used approaches the end value, SAP generates this warning to alert users or administrators.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Usage:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the current usage of the number range for the specific object that is generating the error.
  Identify how many numbers have been used and how many are left.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is indeed nearing its limit, you can extend the number range interval. This can be done by:
  
  Going to transaction code SNRO.
  Finding the relevant number range object.
  Editing the number range intervals to increase the upper limit.
  
  
  Make sure to follow your organization's change management procedures when making changes to number ranges.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible or if you want to keep the current range intact, you can create a new number range interval.
  This involves defining a new range and assigning it to the relevant object.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  After making changes, monitor the usage of the number range to ensure that it does not approach its limit again in the near future.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for best practices regarding number range management.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly monitor number range usage as part of system maintenance.
  Implement alerts or reports to notify administrators when number ranges are approaching their limits.
  
  
  Impact:
  
  If the number range is not managed properly, it can lead to disruptions in business processes, as new documents may not be able to be created once the number range is exhausted.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message and ensure that your number ranges are adequately managed.
