• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WG220 - The last number in number range object & has been assigned ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WG220:
  
  SAP Error Message: WG220
  Text: The last number in number range object & has been assigned
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to assign a new number from a number range object, but the last number in the defined number range has already been used. In other words, the number range is exhausted or fully assigned, and there are no more numbers available to allocate.
  Number ranges in SAP are used to generate unique document numbers, master data numbers, or other identifiers. Each number range has a defined interval (from number X to number Y). When the system reaches the upper limit (last number), it cannot assign any new numbers unless the number range is extended or a new number range interval is created.
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  Document number assignment (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders, delivery documents)
  Master data number assignment (e.g., material numbers, vendor numbers)
  Any custom or standard process that uses number range objects
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range Interval:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) or SNUM (Number Range Maintenance).
  Enter the relevant number range object (e.g., BUS2032 for sales orders).
  Check the current intervals and extend the upper limit of the number range interval to a higher number.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Create a New Number Range Interval:
  
  If extending the current interval is not possible or desirable, create a new number range interval with a new range of numbers.
  Assign this new interval to the relevant application or user group.
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Buffer:
  
  Sometimes the number range buffer might be out of sync.
  You can reset the buffer by using transaction SNRO ? Utilities ? Reset Buffer.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Code or User Exits:
  
  If the number range is custom or used in custom developments, verify that the number assignment logic is correct and not causing premature exhaustion.

  Best Practices:

  Set up alerts or reports to notify administrators before number ranges run out.
  Use sufficiently large number ranges to accommodate business growth.
