• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN011 - Threshold value exceeds total number of values in number range ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/WBN011 Threshold value exceeds total number of values in number range typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when there is an issue with the configuration of number ranges for certain objects, such as transportation requests, shipments, or other related entities.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the threshold value set for a number range exceeds the total number of values available in that number range. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Configuration Error: The number range configuration may have been set incorrectly, leading to a mismatch between the threshold and the available values.
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range may have been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up, and the threshold is set to a value that cannot be met.
  Incorrect Threshold Setting: The threshold value might have been set too high compared to the actual number range defined.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object used in your scenario (e.g., for transportation requests, shipments, etc.).
  Verify the current status of the number range and ensure that it has sufficient values available.
  
  
  
  Adjust Threshold Value:
  
  If the threshold value is set incorrectly, adjust it to a value that is within the limits of the available number range.
  This can usually be done in the customizing settings for the relevant application area.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the number range object in SNRO.
  Adjusting the intervals to increase the range of available numbers.
  Ensure that the new range does not conflict with existing values.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom code or enhancements that manipulate number ranges, review them to ensure they are not causing the issue.
