• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC055 - The combination of number range object and ILN with &1 chars is too long ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/SSCC055 indicates that there is an issue with the combination of the number range object and the International Location Number (ILN) being too long. This typically occurs in the context of handling logistics and warehouse management processes in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the fact that the length of the ILN combined with the number range object exceeds the maximum allowed length defined in the system. Each ILN has a specific character length, and when combined with the number range object, it may exceed the limit set in the configuration.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check ILN Length: Verify the length of the ILN you are trying to use. The standard length for an ILN is 13 characters, but it can vary based on your specific configuration.
  
  
  Review Number Range Configuration: 
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO to check the number range object configuration.
  Ensure that the number range object you are using is correctly configured and that its length does not exceed the maximum allowed length when combined with the ILN.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the configuration of the number range object to accommodate the ILN length. This may involve changing the number range settings or creating a new number range object that allows for a longer combination.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to number ranges and ILNs to ensure compliance with best practices and system limitations.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration and making adjustments, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
