• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG095 - External number range cannot be disabled. ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WFD_BL_MSG095 - External number range cannot be disabled
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to disable an external number range that is currently in use or assigned to a document type or object in SAP Workflow or related modules. External number ranges are typically used when the document number is entered manually by the user or comes from an external system, and SAP expects these numbers to be unique and consistent.
  SAP does not allow disabling an external number range if it is still assigned or active because it could lead to inconsistencies or missing document numbers.
  
  When does this happen?
  
  You try to deactivate or disable an external number range in transaction SNRO or in the workflow/customizing settings.
  The number range is still assigned to a workflow object or document type.
  The number range is in use or has been used previously.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Assignments:
  
  Verify if the external number range is assigned to any workflow object, document type, or application.
  Use transaction SNRO to check the number range object and its assignments.
  Check workflow customizing or the relevant module where the number range is used.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Remove Usage:
  
  If possible, reassign the document type or workflow object to a different number range (preferably an internal number range).
  Ensure no active documents or workflows are using this number range.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Number Range:
  
  Once the number range is no longer assigned or used, you can disable it.
  In transaction SNRO, select the number range object, and then disable the external number range.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Make sure that disabling the number range will not affect existing documents.
  If documents already exist with numbers from this range, consider archiving or handling them appropriately.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  External vs Internal Number Ranges:
  
  External number ranges require manual input or input from an external system.
  Internal number ranges are automatically generated by SAP.
  
  
  Disabling an external number range is a sensitive operation because it affects how document numbers are generated and maintained.
  Always perform such changes in a development or test system first and transport changes to production after thorough testing.
  Consult your SAP Basis or Workflow administrator if unsure about the impact.
