  SAP Error Message:
  WX805 SYST: error determining next address number &
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP when the system tries to generate or determine the next available address number (usually in HR master data or related address management scenarios) but fails due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  
  Number Range Object Issue:
  
  The number range object responsible for generating the address number is not properly defined or has no available numbers left.
  
  
  Number Range Exhausted:
  
  The number range interval assigned for address numbers is exhausted (all numbers are used).
  
  
  Customizing or Configuration Problem:
  
  The configuration for address number assignment is missing or incorrect.
  
  
  Authorization or System Buffer Issue:
  
  Sometimes, authorization problems or buffer inconsistencies can cause the system to fail in fetching the next number.
  
  
  Database Lock or Inconsistency:
  
  A lock on the number range or database inconsistency can prevent the system from incrementing the number.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Object:
  
  Identify the number range object used for address numbers (commonly PERNR or a custom object).
  Use transaction SNRO or SNUM to check the number range intervals.
  Verify if the number range interval exists and has available numbers.
  
  
  
  Extend or Create Number Range Interval:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, create a new interval with a higher range.
  Assign the new interval to the relevant number range object.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing:
  
  Go to the relevant IMG activity for address number assignment (e.g., in Personnel Administration or Organizational Management).
  Verify that the number range object and intervals are correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to create or change address numbers.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffers and Locks:
  
  Sometimes, clearing the system buffers (transaction /nSMLG or /nSM12 to check locks) can help.
  If locks exist on the number range, wait or release them carefully.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the problem persists, debugging the function module or program that determines the next address number can help identify the exact cause.
