  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDS_COMMON003 - Error with return code SY_SUBRC &1 while getting number range (aRFC ID) ?

    The SAP error message SDS_COMMON003 with return code SY_SUBRC &1 typically indicates an issue related to number range management, particularly when dealing with asynchronous Remote Function Calls (aRFC). This error can occur in various scenarios, such as when the system is unable to allocate a number from a defined number range for a specific object.

    Causes:

    1. Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the object may have been exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
    2. Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured or may not exist for the object you are trying to use.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user or process may not have the necessary authorizations to access or allocate numbers from the number range.
    4. System Locking Issues: There may be locks on the number range object that prevent it from being accessed.
    5. Buffer Issues: The number range buffer may be inconsistent or corrupted.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Number Range Status:

      • Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the status of the number range object in question. Ensure that the number range is defined and has available numbers.
      • If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it or create a new number range.
    2. Adjust Number Range Configuration:

      • If the number range is not configured correctly, you may need to adjust the settings in transaction SNRO to ensure it is set up properly for the intended use.
    3. Review Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to access the number range. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations.
    4. Check for Locks:

      • Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the number range object. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them by releasing the locks or identifying the processes holding them.
    5. Clear Number Range Buffer:

      • If you suspect that the number range buffer is causing issues, you can clear it using transaction SNUM or by using the appropriate function module to reset the buffer.
    6. Check System Logs:

      • Review the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
    7. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
