SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

  • Message number: 301

  • Message text: Number range for info structure libraries is exceeded

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Libraries are used for storing planning layout data internally. The
    library name is automatically assigned in the background to each info
    structure when a planning layout is created for the first time for a
    new info structure.
    Only a limited number area is available for assigning a library to the
    application. The available number area has already been exhausted.
    It is no longer possible to assign new library name for more info
    structures. Furthermore, it is no longer possible to enter new planning
    layouts for a planning step that links to the relevant info strucute
    (database table).

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Contact your system administrator.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    <ZH>Note, that the following information is only intended for system
    administrators.</>
    Check if all info structure for which planning layout have been created
    are really required.
    Delete any info structures that are no longer required.
    Then delete the relevant entry for the info structure from table
    TWISPS01 (info structure/library assignment).
    The newly-released library is then assigned once more to another info
    structure.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP301 - Number range for info structure libraries is exceeded ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP301: Number range for info structure libraries is exceeded:


    Error Message

    WXP301 - Number range for info structure libraries is exceeded


    Cause

    This error occurs when the number range assigned to Info Structure Libraries (used in SAP BW/BI or SAP R/3 Logistics Information System) is exhausted. Info structure libraries are objects that group info structures, and each library is assigned a number from a predefined number range.

    When you try to create a new info structure library or assign a new number, and the system cannot find any free number in the assigned number range, it throws this error.


    Explanation

    • Info structure libraries are identified by numbers within a specific number range.
    • The number range is defined in the system customizing.
    • If all numbers in this range are already used, no new info structure library can be created.
    • This typically happens in systems with many info structure libraries or if the number range was set too small initially.

    Solution

    1. Check the current number range for info structure libraries:

      • Transaction: SNRO (Number Range Objects)
      • Object: SISLIB (or the relevant object for info structure libraries)
      • Check the current number range intervals and usage.
    2. Extend the number range interval:

      • If the number range is exhausted, extend it by creating a new interval with a higher range.
      • In SNRO, select the object SISLIB, then choose "Intervals" and create a new interval with a higher number range.
      • Make sure the new interval does not overlap with existing intervals.
    3. Check for unused or obsolete info structure libraries:

      • Sometimes, old or unused info structure libraries can be deleted to free up numbers.
      • Use transaction SIS0 or relevant BW transactions to manage info structure libraries.
    4. After extending the number range, retry the operation that caused the error.


    Related Information

    • Transaction SNRO: Used to maintain number range objects.
    • Info Structure Libraries: Used in Logistics Information System (LIS) to group info structures.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any known issues or patches related to this error.
    • SAP BW/BI: Info structures and their libraries are part of the data warehousing and reporting components.

    Summary

    Aspect Details
    Error WXP301 - Number range for info structure libraries is exceeded
    Cause Number range assigned to info structure libraries is fully used
    Solution Extend the number range interval in SNRO for object SISLIB
    Transaction SNRO (Number Range Objects), SIS0 (Info Structure Libraries)
    Additional Delete unused libraries if possible; check SAP Notes

    If you need step-by-step guidance on extending the number range or managing info structure libraries, please let me know!
