• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MD072 - Vendor no. range interval &1 and customer no. range interval &2 overlap ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MD072 indicates that there is an overlap between the vendor number range interval and the customer number range interval in the system. This typically occurs in the context of managing master data in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module, where both vendors and customers are assigned number ranges for identification.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the defined number ranges for vendors and customers overlap. This can happen if:
  
  The same number range is assigned to both vendors and customers.
  The intervals defined for vendors and customers are not mutually exclusive, leading to potential conflicts in identification.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the number ranges for vendors and customers do not overlap. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check Number Ranges:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range objects related to vendors (e.g., E1LIFNR for vendor numbers) and customers (e.g., E1KUNNR for customer numbers).
  Review the defined intervals for both objects.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges:
  
  If you find overlapping intervals, you will need to adjust one or both of the number ranges to ensure they are distinct.
  You can either extend the range of one of the intervals or create a new number range that does not conflict with the existing ones.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes by trying to create or modify a vendor or customer to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the changes are transported to the production environment following your organization's transport procedures.
