• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC016 - Maintain the internal number range interval ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC016 indicates that there is an issue with the internal number range interval for Serial Numbers or SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises when the system cannot generate a new SSCC because the defined number range has been exhausted or is not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The internal number range for SSCC has been fully utilized, meaning that all possible numbers within the defined range have been assigned.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range intervals may not be set up correctly in the system, leading to issues when trying to generate new SSCCs.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the number range settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the object related to SSCC (usually /SCWM/SSCC).
  Check the intervals defined for this number range. Ensure that there are available numbers in the range.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding a new interval.
  In the same SNRO transaction, you can create a new interval or adjust the existing one to increase the range.
  
  
  
  Activate the Number Range:
  
  Ensure that the number range is active and not locked. If it is locked, you will need to unlock it.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify number range settings. This may require assistance from a system administrator.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the system to ensure that new SSCCs can be generated without errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Extended Warehouse Management for detailed information on number range management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SNRO for number range management and EWM transactions for warehouse management tasks.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking the configurations, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/SSCC016 and ensure that your SSCC number range is properly maintained.
