• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01218 - No more free reference numbers; check number ranges ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/WM01218 No more free reference numbers; check number ranges typically occurs in the context of the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error indicates that the system has run out of available reference numbers for a specific number range, which is necessary for creating certain documents or transactions in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The most common cause of this error is that the defined number range for the reference numbers has been exhausted. This can happen if the number range is not set up to accommodate the volume of transactions being processed.
  Incorrect Number Range Configuration: The number range may not be properly configured, or it may not be set to allow for sufficient numbers.
  Number Range Intervals: The intervals defined for the number range may be too narrow or incorrectly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Number Range Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
  Enter the object name related to the reference number (you may need to consult your SAP documentation or system administrator for the exact object name).
  Check the current status of the number range and see if it has been exhausted.
  
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you can extend it by adding more intervals. This can be done in the same SNRO transaction.
  Ensure that the new intervals do not overlap with existing ones and that they are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Activate Number Range:
  
  If the number range is inactive, you may need to activate it. This can also be done in the SNRO transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to number ranges, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Monitor Usage:
  
  After resolving the issue, monitor the usage of the number range to ensure that it does not run out again in the future. You may want to set up alerts or regular checks.
