• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VY024 - Number range &1 is not an external number range for SD_FRACHT ?

  The SAP error message VY024 indicates that the number range you are trying to use for the object SD_FRACHT (which is related to freight documents in the Sales and Distribution module) is not defined as an external number range. This typically occurs when you attempt to create a document that requires an external number assignment, but the number range configuration does not support it.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range you are trying to use is set up as an internal number range instead of an external one.
  Number Range Assignment: The number range might not be properly assigned to the relevant document type or may not exist at all.
  User Authorization: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or use the specified number range.

  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).

  Create/Modify Number Range:
  
  If the number range does not exist, you can create a new external number range.
  If it exists but is set as internal, you can change it to external by editing the number range intervals.
  
  
  
  Assign Number Range to Document Type:
  
  Ensure that the number range is assigned to the correct document type in the configuration settings.
  You can check this in the configuration for Sales and Distribution under SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Number Assignment -> Define Number Ranges.
