• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG002 - Error while generating new ID; out of range ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG002 indicating "Error while generating new ID; out of range" typically occurs in the context of ID generation within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with custom developments or specific modules that require unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  ID Range Exhaustion: The most common cause of this error is that the ID range defined for a particular object or entity has been exhausted. This can happen if the maximum limit of IDs has been reached, and the system is unable to generate a new unique ID.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the ID range settings, such as incorrect upper limits or ranges that do not allow for sufficient IDs.
  Database Issues: In some cases, database inconsistencies or issues with the underlying data model can lead to this error.
  Custom Code: If there are custom developments or enhancements that manipulate ID generation, they may not be handling the ID ranges correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ID Ranges: 
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check the relevant number range object associated with the ID generation. Ensure that the number range is correctly defined and that there are available IDs.
  If the range is exhausted, you may need to extend the number range or create a new number range object.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings for the ID generation to ensure that they are set up correctly and that the upper limits are appropriate for your needs.
  
  
  
  Database Cleanup:
  
  If there are orphaned or unused IDs in the database, consider cleaning them up to free up space in the ID range.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there are custom developments involved, review the code to ensure that it correctly handles ID generation and does not inadvertently cause the range to be exceeded.

  Check SAP Notes and documentation related to the specific module or functionality you are working with. There may be known issues or patches available.
