• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/BC051 - Number range interval &1 is not of type internal ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/BC051 Number range interval &1 is not of type internal typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of number ranges in the SAP system, particularly in the context of the SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) module or related applications.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The error indicates that the specified number range interval (denoted by &1) is not set up as an "internal" number range. In SAP, number ranges can be defined as either internal or external. Internal number ranges are automatically assigned by the system, while external number ranges require manual entry.
  Incorrect Assignment: The number range interval may have been incorrectly assigned or configured in the system, leading to this error when the system attempts to use it for generating numbers.
  Missing Authorizations: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the number range settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the error.
  Check the intervals defined for that object. Ensure that the interval you are trying to use is set as "internal".
  If it is not, you may need to create a new internal number range interval or modify the existing one.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Number Range:
  
  If you need to create a new internal number range, you can do so in the same SNRO transaction.
  Ensure that the number range is properly defined with the correct start and end values and that it is marked as internal.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user encountering the error has the necessary authorizations to access and modify number range settings. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team for guidance on number range management.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the functionality again to ensure that the error is resolved.
