• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/VL060 - No free delivery number contained within reuse buffer ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/VL060 No free delivery number contained within reuse buffer typically occurs in the context of the delivery process in SAP, particularly when the system is unable to find a free delivery number for creating a new delivery document. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range for delivery documents may be exhausted, meaning that all available numbers have been used up.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the number range for delivery documents in the system.
  Buffer Issues: The reuse buffer for delivery numbers may not be properly populated or may have been cleared.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create delivery numbers.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Look for the number range object related to delivery documents (usually V_LIKP for delivery).
  Check if the number range is defined correctly and if there are free numbers available.
  
  
  
  Extend 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.
  
  
  
  Check Reuse Buffer:
  
  Sometimes, the reuse buffer may need to be refreshed. You can do this by executing the relevant transaction that generates delivery numbers again or by restarting the relevant background jobs.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create delivery documents. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
