• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/VAS003 - Warehouse &2 has internal interval &1. External numbers are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/VAS003 indicates that there is an issue with the internal interval configuration for a warehouse in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system. Specifically, the error states that the warehouse has an internal interval that is not compatible with external numbers, which means that the system is expecting a certain format or type of number that is not being met.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Issue: The warehouse is configured to use internal number ranges, but there may be an attempt to use external numbers in a context where only internal numbers are allowed.
  Master Data Settings: The master data for the warehouse or the relevant objects (like storage bins, handling units, etc.) may not be set up correctly, leading to a mismatch in expected number formats.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system, they might be incorrectly handling number ranges or intervals.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Warehouse Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the warehouse in the SAP EWM system.
  Verify the number range settings for the warehouse and ensure that they are set to use internal numbers if that is the requirement.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data for the warehouse and ensure that all relevant objects are correctly configured to use internal number ranges.
  If external numbers are being used, consider changing them to internal numbers or adjusting the configuration to allow for external numbers if that is appropriate.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Ranges:
  
  If necessary, adjust the number range intervals in the configuration to ensure they align with the expected formats.
  You can do this in the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) to manage number ranges.
