• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WX048 - Customer account group & contains no number range ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WX048 - Customer account group & contains no number range
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create a customer master record for a customer account group that does not have an assigned number range interval for customer numbers. In SAP, each customer account group must have at least one number range interval defined to generate customer numbers automatically or to validate manually entered numbers.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Customer Account Group: Defines the classification of customers (e.g., domestic, foreign, one-time customers) and controls the number range and field selection for customer master data.
  Number Range: A range of numbers assigned to customer master records to ensure unique customer numbers.
  If the account group has no number range assigned, SAP cannot generate or validate customer numbers, hence the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Number Range to the Customer Account Group:
  
  
  Go to transaction code OBD2 (or navigate via IMG:
  
  SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data -> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers)).
  
  
  Select the relevant Customer Account Group.
  
  
  Assign an appropriate Number Range Interval to this account group.
  
  
  
  
  Check Number Range Intervals:
  
  Use transaction XDN1 or SNRO to check or create number range intervals for customer master records (object: KUNNR).
  
  
  
  If Manual Number Assignment is Used:
  
  Ensure that the number range interval assigned to the account group covers the numbers you intend to enter manually.
  
  
  
  Save and Retry:
  
  After assigning the number range, save the configuration and retry creating the customer master record.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Number ranges can be internal (system assigns numbers automatically) or external (user enters numbers manually).
  The error can also occur if the number range interval is defined but not active or exhausted.
  Always ensure that the number range intervals do not overlap between different account groups.
  For one-time customers or special account groups, number ranges must be carefully maintained to avoid conflicts.
