• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TAN_MDCRS003 - External numbers not allowed for the object & ?

  The SAP error message TAN_MDCRS003 indicates that external numbers are not allowed for a specific object in the context of Asset Accounting (FI-AA). This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify an asset master record using an external number range, which is not permitted for the specified asset type or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  External Number Assignment: The asset master record is being created or modified with an external number assignment, but the configuration for the asset class does not allow this.
  Configuration Settings: The asset class may be set up to only allow internal number assignment, which means that the system expects the number to be generated internally rather than being provided externally.
  Incorrect Asset Class: The asset class being used may not be configured to accept external numbers.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Asset Class Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the asset class in transaction code OAOA (Define Asset Classes).
  Verify the settings for the number assignment. Ensure that the asset class is configured to allow external number assignment if that is your intention.
  
  
  
  Use Internal Number Assignment:
  
  If the asset class is configured to only allow internal number assignment, you will need to create the asset without specifying an external number. The system will generate the number automatically.
  
  
  
  Adjust Number Range Settings:
  
  If you need to allow external numbers, you may need to adjust the number range settings in transaction code OAVN (Define Number Ranges for Assets).
  Ensure that the number range for the asset class is set to allow external numbers if that is required for your business process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or FI-AA consultant to understand the implications of changing number assignment settings.
