• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1143 - Overflow in interval &1, number range &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SEHS/BA_MISC1143 Overflow in interval &1, number range &2 typically indicates that a number range has been exhausted or that there is an overflow in the specified interval. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, particularly when dealing with number ranges for documents, transactions, or other entities.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for a particular object has been completely used up. For example, if the number range is defined from 1 to 1000, and all numbers have been assigned, any further attempts to generate a new number will result in this error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range intervals may not be configured correctly, leading to overlaps or gaps that cause an overflow.
  System Limitations: In some cases, the system may have limitations on the number of entries it can handle, leading to an overflow situation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Status:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Find the relevant number range object and check its current status to see if it has been exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding more numbers to the range.
  This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by selecting the number range and adjusting the upper limit.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range:
  
  If extending the existing number range is not feasible, consider creating a new number range object and assigning it to the relevant application.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the number range is correct and that there are no overlaps or misconfigurations.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code:
  
  If there are custom developments or enhancements that interact with the number range, review them to ensure they are not causing the overflow.
