• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SE120 - Number range conflict (internal package no. & already assigned) ?

  The SAP error message SE120, which indicates a "Number range conflict (internal package no. & already assigned)," typically arises when there is an attempt to assign a number to an object that has already been assigned a number within the same number range. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with internal packages, transport requests, or other objects that utilize number ranges.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Overlap: The number range defined for the internal package is already in use or has been assigned to another object.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings for the internal package.
  Transport Request Conflicts: If multiple transport requests are trying to use the same number range, conflicts can arise.
  Development Environment Issues: In a development environment, if multiple developers are working on the same package, they may inadvertently cause conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object associated with the internal package.
  Check the current status of the number range and see if it is exhausted or if there are any overlaps.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:

  Ensure that the number range is correctly configured and does not overlap with other ranges.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests:
