• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL809 - Number assignment: interval not found ?

  The SAP error message VL809 ("Number assignment: interval not found") typically occurs when the system is unable to find a number range interval for a specific document type or object. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating delivery documents, sales orders, or other transactional documents that require unique number assignments.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Number Range Interval: The number range interval for the document type you are trying to create does not exist or has not been defined in the system.
  Number Range Object Not Assigned: The number range object may not be assigned to the relevant document type.
  Number Range Status: The number range may be set to "not available" or may have been exhausted (i.e., all numbers in the range have been used).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or create documents in the specified number range.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
