• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_WLAY189 - The number range of database table MALG is full ?

  The SAP error message WRF_WLAY189 indicates that the number range for the database table MALG (which is used for storing allocation data) is full. This typically occurs when the system has exhausted all available numbers in the defined number range for a specific object, which can prevent the creation of new entries.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the MALG table has been completely utilized, meaning that all possible numbers have been assigned to existing records.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the number range settings, leading to an insufficient range being defined for the expected volume of data.
  Data Volume: High data volume or frequent transactions that create new entries in the MALG table can lead to the number range being filled up quickly.

  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
