• Message text: The interval & is not internal

What causes this issue?

By specifying an EAN category, you have attempted to have the system
assign an EAN or UPC. However, as the internal interval, this EAN
category is assigned an interval that is either not defined or that is
defined as an external interval for the number range object.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE112 - The interval & is not internal ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WE112 - The interval & is not internal
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs in the context of IDoc processing, specifically when defining or validating segment intervals in an IDoc segment hierarchy or segment definition.
  
  The message indicates that the specified interval (range) of segments is not internal.  
  In SAP IDoc terminology, an internal interval means that the segment interval must be within the same parent segment or within the same hierarchical level.  
  If the interval crosses boundaries or includes segments that are not part of the same internal structure, the system raises this error.
  
  This usually happens when defining segment intervals in segment groups or when working with segment definitions in transaction WE31 (IDoc Segment Editor) or WE30 (IDoc Type Development).
  
  When does it occur?
  
  While creating or modifying IDoc segment groups or segment definitions.
  When specifying segment intervals in segment groups or segment definitions that are not contiguous or do not belong to the same internal structure.
  During IDoc type generation or validation.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the segment interval definition:
  
  Verify that the segment interval you are defining is within the same parent segment or hierarchical level.
  The start and end segments of the interval must be part of the same internal structure.
  
  
  
  Adjust the segment interval:
  
  Modify the interval so that it only includes segments that are contiguous and belong to the same internal group.
  Avoid intervals that span across different segment groups or levels.
  
  
  
  Use correct segment names:
  
  Ensure that the segment names used in the interval are correct and exist in the IDoc type.
  
  
  
  Review segment group hierarchy:
  
  Use transaction WE30 or WE31 to review the segment group and segment definitions.
  Make sure the segment intervals correspond to the internal structure of the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP documentation or notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to IDoc segment intervals and their validation.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  WE30 - IDoc Type Development
  WE31 - IDoc Segment Editor
  WE60 - IDoc Documentation
  
  
  IDoc Structure:
  
  IDocs are hierarchical; segments are organized in groups.
  Segment intervals define ranges of segments within these groups.
  
  
  Related Messages:
  
  WE111 - The interval & is not valid
  WE113 - The segment & is not valid in this context
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WE112 indicates that the segment interval you are trying to define or use is not an internal interval, meaning it crosses boundaries or includes segments from different hierarchical levels or groups. To fix it, ensure that the interval is defined within the same internal structure of the IDoc segment hierarchy.
