Troubleshooting Error - FRM-40212: Invalid value for field REFERENCE_NUMBER

While trying to add serial number / instance to service contract we would have often seen this error :-

There could be many reasons why the error is coming. Lets try to understand what it is and what could be done to resolve this error.

• Serial / Instance number doesn’t exist => Validate serial in present in Install Base. If its there create the item instance and then try to add.
• Serial / Instance is in EXPIRED status => Expired serial/instance can not be covered and added, Unexpire the instance and try adding it again. There could be scenario where serial is in status other than EXPIRED but the status is configured to not to allow coverage. Validate the instance status configuration.
