    Error Message

    WRF_ASORT010:
    You can only assign number range & exclusively


    Cause

    This error typically occurs in SAP when you are trying to assign a number range to an object (such as a document type, a transaction, or a custom object) but the system detects that the number range assignment is not exclusive or is overlapping with another assignment.

    In other words, the system requires that a number range be assigned exclusively to a particular object or process, meaning:

    • The number range cannot be shared or assigned to multiple objects simultaneously.
    • The number range intervals must not overlap.
    • The assignment must be unique and clearly defined.

    This error often arises during configuration or customizing activities, such as:

    • Assigning number ranges to document types in Financial Accounting (FI), Sales and Distribution (SD), or Materials Management (MM).
    • Defining number ranges for custom objects or transactions.
    • When number ranges are maintained incorrectly in transaction codes like SNRO or FBN1.

    Solution

    To resolve the error WRF_ASORT010, follow these steps:

    1. Check Number Range Assignments:

      • Go to the relevant customizing transaction (e.g., SNRO for number range objects, or the specific IMG activity for your module).
      • Verify that the number range you want to assign is not already assigned to another object.
      • Ensure that the number range intervals do not overlap with other assigned intervals.
    2. Assign Number Range Exclusively:

      • Assign the number range exclusively to the object you are configuring.
      • If the number range is already assigned elsewhere, either:
        • Use a different number range that is free.
        • Or adjust the existing assignments to avoid overlap.
    3. Maintain Number Range Intervals Correctly:

      • Use transaction SNRO to check the number range object.
      • Use transaction FBN1 (for FI document number ranges) or other module-specific transactions to maintain intervals.
      • Make sure intervals are continuous and do not overlap.
    4. Check Customizing Settings:

      • In the IMG (Implementation Guide), verify the configuration steps related to number range assignment.
      • For example, in Sales and Distribution, check the assignment of number ranges to sales document types.
    5. Transport and System Consistency:

      • If you are working in a development or quality system, ensure that transports have been imported correctly.
      • Sometimes inconsistencies between systems cause this error.

      • SNRO – Number Range Objects maintenance.
      • FBN1 – Maintain Document Number Ranges (FI).
      • Module-specific customizing transactions for number range assignment.
    • SAP Notes and Documentation:

      • Check SAP Notes related to number range assignment issues.
      • Review module-specific guides on number range configuration.
    • Common Modules Affected:

      • Financial Accounting (FI)
      • Sales and Distribution (SD)
      • Materials Management (MM)
      • Custom developments using number ranges
    • Best Practices:

      • Always assign number ranges exclusively to avoid conflicts.
      • Document number range assignments clearly.
      • Regularly audit number range intervals to prevent overlaps.

    If you provide the exact context (module, transaction, or customizing step) where you encountered this error, I can give you more precise guidance.
