3742872 - ODN Number Range Overlap Error When Creating Interval for New Business Place in SAP S/4HANA Cloud in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When creating a new ODN (Official Document Number) number range interval for a new business place, the system throws an error message "Interval xx Subobject ABC to year xxxx overlaps with interval xx Subobject DFF to year xxxx"

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a new business place for India GST.
  2. Assign an ODN number range to the business place in the relevant configuration activity.
  3. Observe that the system raises an overlap error during save.

Cause

SAP number range overlap check is performed globally across all years and all business places (subobjects) for the same number range object.


No matter which year or which business place a number range interval belongs to, as long as there is any intersection in the numeric range, the system will trigger the overlapping error. Expired intervals from previous years are still included in this check.


In this specific case, there are identified existing expired intervals for number range xx under business place ABC/DEF:


Resolution

There are two solutions to resolve this issue:


Option 1: Adjust the starting value of the new interval

Simply adjust the starting value of the new interval xx to completely avoid the overlapping section:

For example:

Original planned interval: 9030000001 - 9039999999
Adjusted interval: 9031000001 - 9039999999


Option 2: Delete the expired overlapping intervals

If the fiscal years from old have been fully closed, and it is absolutely confirmed that no ODN documents will ever be created for these years again, so delete these expired overlapping intervals:
