• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/DIRDLV017 - Delivery no. &1 is outside number range &2 defined for delivery type &3 ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/DIRDLV017 Delivery no. &1 is outside number range &2 defined for delivery type &3 indicates that the delivery number you are trying to use is not within the defined number range for the specified delivery type. This typically occurs when the system attempts to create or process a delivery document, but the delivery number being referenced is either too high or too low compared to the allowed range.
  Cause:
  
  Number Range Configuration: The number range for the delivery type has not been properly configured or has been exhausted.
  Incorrect Delivery Type: The delivery number being used may not correspond to the correct delivery type.
  Manual Entry: If the delivery number is being entered manually, it may fall outside the defined range.
  System Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of number ranges or delivery types may have occurred, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to deliveries (usually V_LIKP for delivery documents).
  Check the defined number ranges for the delivery type in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction by adjusting the upper limit of the number range.
  Ensure that the number range is set to allow for the creation of new delivery numbers.
  
  
  
  Verify Delivery Type:
  
  Check the delivery type being used and ensure that it matches the configuration in the system.
  You can check the delivery type settings in transaction OVL2 (Define Delivery Types).
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or Configuration Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change number ranges or delivery types, consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
