  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_API010 - Assigned number from interval &1 in number range &2 is in critical range. ?

    The SAP error message:

    VF_PRC_API010: Assigned number from interval &1 in number range &2 is in critical range.


    Cause:

    This message indicates that the number range interval &1 (e.g., a specific number range interval for billing documents) within the number range object &2 (e.g., billing document number range) has reached or is close to reaching its critical limit. In SAP, number ranges are defined with intervals, and when the assigned numbers approach the upper limit of the interval, the system issues a warning or error to prevent number exhaustion.

    Specifically, this message means that the current number being assigned for a billing document (or other object) is within the critical range defined for that number range interval. The critical range is a threshold set to alert administrators before the number range is completely used up.


    When does it occur?

    • When creating billing documents (transaction VF01, VF04, etc.) or other documents that use number ranges.
    • When the current number assigned is within the critical range limit.
    • The system warns to prevent running out of numbers, which would block document creation.

    Solution:

    1. Check Number Range Status:

      • Use transaction SNRO or SNUM to check the number range intervals for the object (e.g., billing document number range).
      • Identify the current number, the upper limit, and the critical threshold.
    2. Extend Number Range Interval:

      • If the current interval is about to be exhausted, create a new number range interval with a higher range.
      • Assign this new interval to the relevant number range object.
    3. Adjust Critical Range (Optional):

      • You can adjust the critical range threshold to a different value if needed, but this is usually not recommended as it only changes the warning limit.
    4. Transport Changes:

      • If changes are made in a development or quality system, transport the number range interval changes to production.
    5. Monitor Number Ranges Regularly:

      • Set up monitoring or alerts to avoid last-minute issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SNRO: Number Range Objects maintenance.
    • Transaction SNUM: Number Range Intervals maintenance.
    • Number range object for billing documents is usually VBRK or VBRP depending on the document type.
    • Critical range is defined as a percentage or fixed number before the upper limit of the interval.
    • If the number range is exhausted without extension, document creation will fail.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error Message VF_PRC_API010
    Cause Number range interval is in critical range (close to upper limit)
    Object Number range object &2 (e.g., billing doc number range)
    Solution Extend number range interval via SNRO/SNUM; monitor number ranges
    Transactions SNRO, SNUM, VF01 (billing document creation)

    If you need help with the exact steps to extend the number range interval, please let me know!
