  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG219 - No free number in number range object & ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WG219 No free number in number range object &:


    Error Message

    WG219 No free number in number range object &

    • & is a placeholder for the actual number range object name.

    Cause

    This error occurs when SAP tries to assign a new number from a number range object, but there are no free (unused) numbers left in the defined number range interval. In other words, the system has exhausted all available numbers in the number range interval for the specified object.

    Number ranges are used in SAP to assign unique identifiers to documents, master data, or other entities. Each number range object has intervals defined with a start and end number. When all numbers in the interval are used, SAP cannot assign a new number, resulting in this error.


    Common Scenarios

    • Creating a new document or master record that requires a unique number.
    • Posting transactions that require document numbers.
    • Number range intervals are too small or not extended.
    • Number range intervals are not maintained or incorrectly configured.

    Solution

    1. Check the Number Range Object and Intervals:

      • Use transaction SNRO or SNUM to display the number range object.
      • Enter the number range object name (from the error message).
      • Check the intervals defined for this object.
      • Verify if the current number is at or beyond the upper limit of the interval.
    2. Extend or Create a New Number Range Interval:

      • If the current interval is exhausted, create a new interval with a higher range.
      • Make sure the new interval does not overlap with existing intervals.
      • Assign the new interval to the relevant number range object.
    3. Adjust Number Range Settings:

      • Sometimes, number ranges are set to internal (system-assigned) or external (user-assigned). Ensure the settings align with your business process.
      • For internal number ranges, SAP automatically assigns numbers; for external, users enter numbers manually.
    4. Check for Buffer Issues:

      • Number ranges are buffered in SAP. Sometimes the buffer might not be updated properly.
      • You can reset the number range buffer using transaction SNRO ? Utilities ? Reset Buffer.
    5. Consult Basis or SAP Support:

      • If the problem persists, it might be related to authorization or system inconsistencies.
      • Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific number range object.

    Related Transactions and Tools

    • SNRO – Number Range Objects maintenance
    • SNUM – Number Range Intervals display and maintenance
    • SE91 – Message maintenance (to check message text and details)
    • SM13 – Update records (to check for update errors related to number assignment)
    • SM21 – System log (to check for related system errors)

    Additional Notes

    • Number ranges are critical for data integrity; avoid manual changes without proper authorization.
    • Always back up current number range settings before making changes.
    • Coordinate with functional and technical teams when extending number ranges to avoid conflicts.

    If you provide the specific number range object name (the value of &), I can help you with more tailored instructions.
