• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WE710 - EAN is in critical area of number range & & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WE710 – EAN is in critical area of number range & &
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  The error message WE710 occurs in SAP when an EAN (European Article Number) or GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) being processed falls within a critical or nearly exhausted number range. This means that the number range interval assigned for EANs is close to running out of available numbers, and SAP is warning you to take action before the range is completely used up.
  In SAP, number ranges are used to uniquely identify objects like EANs. When the system detects that the current number range interval is almost fully assigned (i.e., the remaining numbers are below a configured threshold), it issues this warning or error to prevent number exhaustion, which could cause failures in document processing or master data creation.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or processing of material master data or related documents where EANs are assigned.
