• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG218 - Purchase orders could not be bundled, number range & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message:
  WG218 Purchase orders could not be bundled, number range & does not exist
  typically occurs in the context of purchase order (PO) number range assignment and bundling processes, such as when using transaction codes or functions that bundle multiple POs for printing, output, or processing.
  
  Cause
  
  Number range interval for purchase orders does not exist or is not maintained: The system tries to assign or reference a PO number from a number range interval that is either missing or not properly configured.
  Number range object for purchase orders is not defined or incorrectly maintained: The number range object (usually EINKBELEG for purchase documents) might not have intervals defined for the relevant document type or purchasing organization.
  Bundling logic references a number range that is not available: When bundling POs for output, the system attempts to group POs based on number ranges, but the required number range interval is missing.
  Customizing or configuration inconsistency:
