  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS401 - All the numbers in the range object &1 have been used ?
    SAP Error Message:
    WS401 - All the numbers in the range object &1 have been used
    
    
    Cause: This error occurs when the number range object (identified by &1) has exhausted all available numbers in its defined interval. In SAP, number ranges are used to assign unique numbers to documents, master data, or other objects. When the system tries to assign a new number but finds that all numbers in the current number range interval are already used, it throws this error. Explanation: Number ranges are defined with intervals specifying a range of numbers (e.g., 0000000001 to 0000001000). When all numbers in the current interval are assigned, and no further intervals are available or defined, the system cannot allocate a new number. This situation typically happens if: The number range interval is too small. No new intervals have been created or extended. The number range object is not set to allow interval buffering or automatic interval extension.
    Solution: Check the Number Range Object: Use
