• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WL601 - Number range object & not found ?

  The SAP error message WL601 indicates that the specified number range object is not found. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or process a document that requires a number from a specific number range, but the system cannot find the defined number range object.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Number Range Object: The number range object you are trying to use has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The number range object may exist, but it is not properly configured or assigned to the relevant application.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the number range object.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Object:
  
  Go to transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects) and check if the number range object exists.
