• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL843 - Critial area of number range interval &2 reached (object &1) ?

  The SAP error message VL843 indicates that a critical area of a number range interval has been reached for a specific object. This typically occurs when the system is close to exhausting the available number range for a particular document type or object, such as delivery documents in the logistics module.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when the number range for a specific object (e.g., delivery, sales order, etc.) is nearing its limit. Each object in SAP has a defined number range, and when the system attempts to generate a new document and finds that the available numbers are nearly depleted, it raises this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the VL843 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:

  Check the current status of the number range intervals to see how many numbers are still available.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is indeed close to being exhausted, you can extend it by adding a new interval or increasing the upper limit of the existing interval.

  Check for Custom Number Ranges:
