• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0139 - Layout number range '&' does not exist ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W0139 Layout number range '&' does not exist
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when the system tries to access or use a layout number (often related to forms, print layouts, or output layouts) that is not defined or does not exist in the specified number range interval. Essentially, the layout number you are referencing is outside the valid number range or has not been created/maintained in the system.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Using a layout number in a print program or output device that has not been assigned.
  Missing or incorrectly maintained number ranges for layouts in customizing.
  Attempting to print or process a form with a layout number that is not configured.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Layout Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant customizing transaction (often under SPRO ? Output Control or Form Management).
  Verify the number ranges assigned for layouts (e.g., in transaction NACE for output types or SPRO for form management).
  Ensure the layout number you are trying to use falls within the defined number range.
  
  
  
  Maintain or Create the Layout Number:
  
  If the layout number does not exist, create or maintain it in the system.
  For SAPscript or Smart Forms, ensure the form and its layout number are properly created and assigned.
  For Adobe Forms, check the form interface and driver program assignments.
  
  
  
  Check Program or User Input:
  
  Verify that the layout number passed to the print program or output routine is correct.
  Correct any hard-coded or user-entered layout numbers that are invalid.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  If the layout exists in one system (e.g., development) but not in another (e.g., production), transport the layout or number range intervals accordingly.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction NACE: Used to maintain output types and their associated forms/layouts.
  SPRO Path: Logistics ? Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Output Control ? Output Determination ? Maintain Output Types.
  Number Range Maintenance: Use transaction SNRO or SNUM to check number ranges.
  Forms: SAPscript (transaction SE71), Smart Forms (transaction SMARTFORMS), Adobe Forms (transaction SFP).
  Print Program: Check the print program or driver program that calls the layout number.
  SAP Notes: Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to W0139 for specific module or scenario.
  
  
  Summary:
  The warning W0139 Layout number range '&' does not exist indicates that the system cannot find the specified layout number within the configured number ranges. To resolve, verify and maintain the layout number ranges and ensure the layout number used is valid and exists in the system.
