• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VP861 - No number range exist for delivery type & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  VP861 - No number range exist for delivery type &
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create a delivery document of a certain delivery type, but the system cannot find an assigned number range for that delivery type. In SAP, each delivery type must have a number range interval assigned to it to generate unique delivery document numbers. If this assignment is missing or incorrectly maintained, the system throws the VP861 error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to assign a number range interval to the delivery type in the system.
  Steps to fix:
  
  
  Check the delivery type:
  
  Identify the delivery type you are trying to use (e.g., LF, LO, etc.).
  
  
  
  Assign number range to delivery type:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO (SAP Reference IMG).
  Navigate to:
  Logistics Execution ? Shipping ? Deliveries ? Define Delivery Types
  
  Select the delivery type in question.
  Check the field for Number Range or Number Range Object.
  If no number range is assigned, assign an appropriate number range interval.
  
  
  
  Maintain number ranges:
  
  Go to transaction SNRO or VN01 (depending on SAP version).
  Enter the number range object for deliveries (usually LE_LIPS or similar).
  Check if number ranges exist and intervals are defined.
  If not, create a number range interval with appropriate from-to numbers.
  
  
  
  Save and test:
  
  After assigning the number range, try creating the delivery again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Delivery types control the processing of deliveries in SAP SD and LE modules.
  Number ranges ensure unique document numbers for deliveries.
  Sometimes, custom delivery types are created but the number range assignment is missed.
  This error is common in new implementations or when customizing delivery types.
