• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VB606 - Number range & is not defined for internal number assignment ?

  The SAP error message VB606 indicates that a number range is not defined for internal number assignment in the context of sales documents (like sales orders, quotations, etc.). This typically occurs when the system is trying to generate a new document number automatically, but it cannot find a valid number range assigned to the document type.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Definition: The number range for the specific document type (e.g., sales order, quotation) has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Status: The number range may be set to "not available" or "not active."
  Document Type Configuration: The document type may not be correctly linked to the number range in the configuration settings.

  Ensure that the document type is linked to the correct number range.
