Critical Point in number range has been reached while creating batch in Inbound Delivery.

Dear team

I Checked Batch_CLT in SNRO but there it is not showing same number range .kindly guide how i can increase number range to avoid this error.

[DominikTylczyn]

First, the message clearly indicates low level of remaining numbers in number range object BATCH_CLT. Standard setting of the number range object is to rise the warning when the level is at or less 10% - transaction SNRO:

Second, SAP uses BATCH_CLT, number range 01 as default for internal batch numbering. Check out the documentation to configuration: Logistics - General --> Batch Management --> Maintain Internal Batch Number Assignment Range:

Standard settings

In the standard, number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 has been defined for number range object BATCH_CLT.

Activities

Check whether number range interval 01 exists and maintain new number ranges, if necessary.

Further notes

If you replace the number range object and/or interval proposed by the system with your own object or interval using customer function call EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001, maintain the number range object and/or interval in this step.

Third, if you are using a different number range to 01 you have to have user exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 implemented, that substitutes the standard number range with your own. The batch number assignment is performed by function VB_NEXT_BATCH_NUMBER:

lines 111-119 - here the standard number range is predefined:

* Standardvorbelegung zum Nummernkreis
  INT_RANGE     = '01'.
  INT_OBJECT    = 'BATCH_CLT'.
  INT_SUBOBJECT = SPACE.
  INT_TOYEAR    = '0000'.
  INT_MESSAGE   = MESSAGE_WHEN_AUTO.
  INT_MESS_DONE = MESS_DONE.
  SKIP_AUTO     = SPACE.
  CLEAR NEW_CHARG.

lines 150-165 - here the user-exit is called to provide a custom number range:

* Aufruf erster CFC zur Ermittlung des Nummernkreises
  CLEAR SY-SUBRC.
  CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '001'
       EXPORTING
            X_BNCOM           = X_BNCOM
       IMPORTING
            CUST_NO_INTERNAL  = SKIP_AUTO
       CHANGING
            NR_RANGE_NR       = INT_RANGE
            OBJECT            = INT_OBJECT
            SUBOBJECT         = INT_SUBOBJECT
            TOYEAR            = INT_TOYEAR
            MESSAGE_WHEN_AUTO = INT_MESSAGE
            MESSAGE_DONE      = INT_MESS_DONE
       EXCEPTIONS
            CANCELLED         = 1.

lines 194-230 - here a next number is requested from the number range. Line 226 generates the message if the number range is about to be exhausted:

              OTHERS             = 4.
    CASE SY-SUBRC.
      WHEN 1.
        MESSAGE E028(LB) WITH INT_RANGE INT_OBJECT
                         RAISING INTERVAL_NOT_FOUND.

                         RAISING OBJECT_NOT_FOUND.
      WHEN 3.
        MESSAGE E028(LB) WITH INT_RANGE INT_OBJECT
                         RAISING INTERVAL_OVERFLOW.

        MESSAGE E024(26) RAISING ERROR_AUTOMATIC_BATCH_NUMBER.
    ENDCASE.
    CASE RETURNCODE.
      WHEN '1'.
        MESSAGE I027(26) WITH INT_OBJECT.
      WHEN '2'.
        MESSAGE I028(26) WITH INT_OBJECT.
    ENDCASE.
  ENDIF.

I'd suggest the following:

1. Put the break-point in VB_NEXT_BATCH_NUMBER function in line 195 and check out which number range is used to get the next batch number.
2. Check out the implementation of the user exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001. It's probable that the message is coming from there.

Dear Dominik

Thankyou, I have already checked that, There BATCH_CLT showing some standard number range starting from 01 to 000853 (Not Matching with my IB Delivery Number range) . Here is screen shot below which i am getting when i am clicking on create batch for delivery type ELN.

No. Range showing in SNRO for BATCH_CLT is as below:

My batches number range is 3XXX and now reached "3798" and showing below error .
