  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS603 - Number couldn't be created for range number &1 and object &2. ?

    The SAP error message:

    WGDS_PROCESS603 Number couldn't be created for range number &1 and object &2.


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when the system tries to generate a number (typically a document number, delivery number, or similar) for a specific number range object, but it fails because:

    • The number range interval for the specified object (&2) and number range (&1) is either not defined, not active, or exhausted.
    • The number range object does not exist or is incorrectly configured.
    • The number range interval is not assigned to the relevant organizational unit or document type.
    • The number range interval is set as external but no number was provided.
    • There is a lock or inconsistency in the number range table preventing number assignment.

    Typical Scenarios:

    • Creating delivery documents (e.g., outbound deliveries, shipments).
    • Posting goods movements or warehouse documents.
    • Any process that requires automatic number assignment from a number range object.

    How to Check / Solution:

    1. Check Number Range Object and Interval:

      • Go to transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects).
      • Enter the number range object mentioned in the error message (&2).
      • Check if the number range interval (&1) exists and is active.
      • Verify the interval boundaries (from number, to number) and current number.
      • Make sure the current number is not exceeding the upper limit.
    2. Check Number Range Assignment:

      • For delivery documents, check the number range assignment in SPRO under Logistics Execution or Sales and Distribution.
      • For warehouse documents, check the number range assignment in Warehouse Management customizing.
      • Ensure the number range interval is assigned to the relevant document type or organizational unit.
    3. Check Number Range Type (Internal/External):

      • If the number range is set to external, the system expects the user to enter the number manually.
      • If the number range is set to internal, the system automatically assigns the next number.
      • Adjust the number range type if necessary.
    4. Check for Locks or Inconsistencies:

      • Sometimes, number range tables (e.g., NRIV, NRIV_EXT) can get locked or inconsistent.
      • Use transaction SM12 to check for locks on number range tables.
      • If locks exist, wait or delete them carefully if you are sure they are stale.
      • Run report RSNR0001 to check number range inconsistencies.
    5. Adjust or Create Number Range Interval:

      • If no interval exists, create a new number range interval with appropriate boundaries.
      • If the interval is exhausted, create a new interval with a higher range.
    6. Check Authorization:

      • Ensure the user has authorization to create documents with the given number range.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction SNRO - Number Range Objects maintenance.
    • Transaction SM12 - Check and delete locks.
    • Report RSNR0001 - Check number range inconsistencies.
    • SPRO - Customizing for number ranges in Logistics Execution, Warehouse Management, Sales and Distribution.
    • SAP Notes related to number range issues for specific modules (check SAP Support Portal).

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Number range interval missing, inactive, exhausted, or misconfigured for object &2 and range &1.
    Solution Check and maintain number range intervals in SNRO; assign intervals properly; check locks; adjust internal/external settings.
    Transactions SNRO, SM12, RSNR0001, SPRO
    Modules affected Logistics Execution, Warehouse Management, Sales and Distribution
