• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VOFM_FMLA_REGISTRY000 - Routine number &1 must be within the customer range. ?

  The SAP error message:
  VOFM_FMLA_REGISTRY000 Routine number &1 must be within the customer range.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to register or use a user-defined routine (form routine) in SAP with a routine number that is outside the allowed customer namespace range.
  
  SAP reserves certain routine number ranges for standard SAP use.
  Customer-defined routines must be created within a specific number range reserved for customer developments.
  If you assign a routine number outside this customer range, the system throws this error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, when you create user-defined routines (for example, in pricing, output determination, or other VOFM routines), you must use routine numbers within the customer namespace. This is to avoid conflicts with SAP standard routines.
  The customer namespace is typically:
  
  Routine numbers from 900000 to 999999 (or a similar range depending on the SAP system and configuration).
  
  If you try to register a routine with a number outside this range (e.g., 100, 200, 5000), the system will reject it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use a routine number within the customer namespace range.
  Check the allowed number range for your system (usually 900000 to 999999).
  Change the routine number to a valid number within this range.
  Re-register or recreate the routine with the correct number.
  
  
  How to check or assign the correct routine number:
  
  Go to the transaction where you create or register the routine (e.g., VOFM).
  When entering the routine number, ensure it is within the customer range.
  If unsure, consult your system documentation or BASIS team for the exact customer namespace range.
  Adjust the routine number accordingly.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common when copying or creating new routines based on SAP standard ones.
  Always follow SAP naming and numbering conventions to avoid conflicts.
  The customer namespace is designed to protect SAP standard objects from being overwritten or conflicted by customer developments.
