  Error Message
  VP860: No number range exists for sales document type &
  
  The ampersand (&) will be replaced by the actual sales document type in the error message.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the system cannot find a number range assigned to the sales document type you are trying to use. In SAP, every sales document type (e.g., OR for standard order, RE for returns, etc.) must have a number range interval assigned to it. If no number range is assigned or the number range interval is missing or not properly maintained, the system cannot generate a document number, resulting in this error.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When creating a sales document (e.g., sales order, quotation, contract) and the system tries to assign a document number.
  The sales document type used does not have a number range interval assigned.
  The number range interval assigned is invalid or missing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Number Range Assignment for Sales Document Type
  
  Go to transaction VOV8 (Sales Document Types).
  Select the sales document type mentioned in the error.
  Check the field Number Range assigned to this sales document type.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals
  
  Go to transaction VN01 (Number Ranges for Sales Documents).
  Enter the number range object (usually VBAK) and check if the number range intervals exist and are valid.
  Make sure the number range intervals cover the range of numbers you want to use and are not exhausted.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Sales Document Type
  
  If the sales document type has no number range assigned, assign an appropriate number range interval.
  If the number range intervals are missing, create new intervals.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Object
  
  The number range object for sales documents is usually VBAK.
  Ensure that the number range object is active and intervals are maintained.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes
  
  If you make changes in a development system, ensure they are transported to quality and production systems.

  Always ensure number ranges do not overlap and are sufficient for document creation.
