Document number range - per fiscal year and continuous

Hi Experts,
In document number ranges, generally the FI dox have number ranges which start afresh every year whereas MM and SD dox have continuous number ranges over the years. It is possible to have continuous number range for FI dox also, but not many people use this.
Why this differenciation between FI and SD/MM? Why SD/MM also do not have fiscal year based number ranges?
Also, where do we define that doc range will be year specific or not? or is it SAP standard that FI will be year specific and SD/MM will be continuous?
Thanks and Regards,
Sadhana

HI Sadhana
You have the option to have document rumber ranges either on fiscal year based or upto 9999 year.
This can be done in FBN1.
for posting material documents also above situation applies.
normally everybody prefer to have fiscal year based number range as FI documents are more in number.
You can go through other forum members solution also

Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view

What is the difference between Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view ?
We have new GL activated in our system , and found that the GL Document types ( SA) are assigned to document number ranges in entry view . What is the need to define document number ranges in General Ledger view ?

Hi,
Document Number Range in entry view is the document numbers which are posting in your leading ledger. You cant achieve the same document number range to the general ledger view. A General ledger view can have both Leading ledger view and non leading ledger view therefore document number range should not be kept same for both ledgers as your running document number gets skipped.
That to some times you can only post documents to only Non Leading ledgers. Therefore a separate number ranges needs to be created for general ledger view
Hope u understood.

Document number ranges changes

Dear friends,
While creating the document number ranges for current year, user wrongly changed the previous year number ranges, now it is giving new number ranges for new documents which are posted in previous year, how to reset the previous number ranges with out effecting the documents which are already posted.
regards,

Dear,
It is the only way to insert a correct number rang to the current year, and change the document No which posted to previous year wrong to the correct fiscal year. then correct the "current number" to the last one posted in previous year.
But these corrections need necesary authorizations and ABAP knowledge.

Hi Gangadhar,
after 4.6C the Internal Number Range was changed into external Number Range due to technical requirements.
As the error messages due to posting manual into the affected number ranges could not be hindered in this case with ERP2005 the desicion was made to rechange to internal number range. Note 890976 describe what to do here.

Again: Define Number Ranges per Backend System for Follow-on Documents

Obviously I have a problem with this setting! What have I done wrong?
We are running ECS with multiple Backends. We want to assign different number ranges to each backend PO.
Our settings:
- Number Range SC and Follow On Documents: 01 0100000000 - 0199999999 (internal) and
P1 3010000000 - 3019999999 (internal)
- Number Range local PO: P0 3000000000 - 3999999999 (internal)
- Number Ranges per Backend System for Follow-on Documents: XYZCLNT010 PO number range = P1
- Transaction Type ZRM assigned to number range PO
- Backend Document Type ZRM assigned to an external number range P1 3010000000 - 3019999999
I would have expected following system behaviour:
System creates the local PO within number range P0 and creates in backend XYZCLNT010 a PO within number range P1.
But instead SRM tries to post the backend PO with a number from range P0.
What is wrong?
Rgds.
Dieter

Hi. I do not know how to fix your problem as standard, I have never done the same setup, but BADI BBP_BS_GROUP_BE will allow you to choose different number ranges in method GET_NUMBER_OR_RANGE.
Does that help at all?

Document number range object

Hi
Please tell document number range object . T-code :FBN1
PLEASE URGENT
Thanks
Krishna

Hello
A number range must be assigned to each document type in the SAP System. Via the document types, you distinguish the postings according to the different business transactions, for example customer payment, vendor credit memo, and so on. To store documents separately according to document types, you must assign a separate number range to each document type, for example to invoices or to credit memos.
In the following activities:
You define your document number ranges.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one company code into another.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another.
Define Document Number Ranges
In this IMG activity you create number ranges for documents. For each number range you specify (among other things):
a number interval from which document numbers are selected
the type of number assignment (internal or external)
You assign one or more document types to each number range. The number range becomes effective via the document type specified in document entry and posting.
You can use one number range for several document types. This means you can differentiate documents by document type but combine them again for filing the original documents, provided you store your original documents under the EDP document number.
Note
The type of number assignment is of special importance. For each document type you should check whether a separate number range must be used and which type of number assignment is most appropriate.
One example of a case where external number assignment would be suitable is when you transfer documents into your SAP system from a non-SAP system. The numbers must be unique. The number range is not displayed with external numbers. You must therefore ensure that you do not skip any numbers when entering numbers manually (for organizational reasons).
You should use internal number assignment if the original documents do not have a unique document number. This is the case, for example, with vendor invoices.
Number ranges for documents are company code-dependent. You must therefore create your number ranges for each company code in which the document type is used, namely with the same number range key.
The number intervals must not overlap. If you use year-dependent number ranges, you can specify the same interval with the same key several times for different to- fiscal years (the limit up to which a number range is still valid). If you want to define number ranges which are independent of the to-fiscal year, enter 9999 in the to- fiscal year field.
Caution
For sample documents, use a number range with key X2, for recurring entry documents with key X1. These keys may not be used for other number ranges.
Recommendation
Store your original documents (paper documents) under the EDP number of the SAP System. You should write the EDP document number on the original document. In this way, the original document for a business transaction can be found at any time.
Activities
1. Determine how document filing is to be carried out in your company codes.
2. Define your number ranges accordingly.
3. Make sure that the number ranges are assigned to the corresponding document types.
Copy to Company Code
In this activity, you can copy intervals of document number ranges from one company code to other company codes. To do this, you have to store the following information:
Intervals which are copied
To fiscal year(s) (validity limit up until which the number range is valid)
Company code from which you copy (source company code)
Company code(s) into which you copy (target company code(s))
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the number ranges.
Note
The number ranges are only copied into a target company code if no number ranges exist there within the selected "To fiscal year" interval.
Notes on transporting
The documentation for the step "Define document number ranges" describes how to transport document number ranges.
Copy to Fiscal Year
In this activity, you can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another per company code. To do this, you have to define the following information:
Company code(s) within which you copy
Number range number(s) which are copied
Fiscal year from which you copy (source fiscal year)
Fiscal year into which you copy (target fiscal year)
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the fiscal years.
Note
The number ranges are only copied per company code into the target fiscal year if no intervals exist there for this fiscal year.

Resetting of FI document number during the same year

Hi,
Our permit for a computerized books of accounts using SAP has been issued by our Tax agency effective March 01, 2009. Relative to this, we need to reset FI document number effective March 01, 2009.
Our problem is we already used up document number from January 01, 2009-up to present. Is resetting possible for the same year?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
SAP is not suggested these kind of activities, since it causes a inconsistancy in the database.
A document in the database will identified with a unique document number, company code, and fiscal year. This is the basic logic.
Eventhough there is a way to sort out this issue.
For Ex: We will discuss about document number range interval 02, which is assigned to document type SA.(I think your fiscal year starts from 01.01.2009)
in FBN1 transcation code, you will find the below intervals for the above said object.
Obj    Year        From No.                 To number        Current Number
01     2007        1000000000     to     1999999999       1000007890
01     2008        1000000000     to     1999999999       1000005463
01     2009        1000000000     to     1999999999       1000004821
Here you have to change the current number for the all the above intervals to 0, and then delete all the above intervals.
Change current number---menu->interval->change numbermake 0 for the 02 object and save it and come back--again go to fbn1 and delete the objects
Again create a number range interval for the same object with different series, as shown below
Click on Add interval, and enter the following
01     2009      7000000000      to      7999999999           (Any Different Series of numbers)
save it and try to post the documents with document type SA.
Prerequisites for the above solution:
1) You need to complete all the transactions pertaining till the end of FEB with the old number series.
2) Close the posting Periods for the company code upto FEB
3) For all the number range objects use a new number series, which should not been used before for any other number range object.
I think this will helps you a lot.
Thanks,
Srinu

Document Number range restart

Dear Experts,
Our FY is from Jan-Dec. therefore, we will be starting New FY Jan 2010.
Please help me and let me please know, whether to start a New FY with restarting FI document number range.
I check in SPRO settings for most of the document number range interval ID the year against it, is mentioned as 9999.
is it fine if i copy FY 9999 to FY 2010, i hope it will not overlap while posting any documents.
please help me.

Hi,
    The Year is always a TO-Year.
What you should have done is either:-(While no one else in the system to avoid inconsistencies)
    a) Create a new line with Year 2009 and the current values of 9999, then set 9999 to initial values.
         This way the numbering is reset to initial from 2010 onwards, and old year postings continue to use the non-initial range.
or b) New Line 2009 like above, delete 9999 entry. Then before each year starts run the above mentioned copy year function.
         This way each year will start initial.
Kind regards

External Document Number Range

Dear Forum,
We have an issue with the Document Number Range that has been defined in the system, according to which the document numbering is automatic. When the users post the entries for audit adjustments in the back date, the numbers jump, which becomes an audit issue. However, to resolve this the users want the externally controlled document number range, so that they have the option to chose the manual numbers. Another problem is that we are using the ledgers 0L as well as 1L, while the entries are posted in the leading ledger 0L, the same get replicated in the non leading ledger 1L and we want the external document number range in the non leading ledger 1L also.
Your prompt help would be highly appreciated as to how can we resolve the same.
Regards

Hi Dianne,
Your advice is quite helpful. I have one more confusion. The fiscal year for the leading ledger 0L is calender year and for the non leading ledger 1L is the year from April to March. Thus period 03 for 0L corresponds to period 12 of 1L. Therefore, to keep the 'external document numbers' same in 0L and 1L, would the following be corect way, say for year 2010 -
0L Year 2010 (Calender Year Jan to Dec) - External Doc nos. From 01 to 1000
1L Year 2009 (April'09 to Mar'10) - External Document nos. From 01 to 1000
Thus if the audit adjustmnets are posted on 31 March, 2010 with document no with 001 in 0L, it would appear with same document no. 001 in 1L on 31 March, 2010. In ledger 0L it will be in period 3, but in ledger 1L it will be in period 12.
Would really appreciate your help.
Regards,

Thanks,
Ranjan Kumar

Number ranges for Material document are maintained in OMBT.
But there is no need to maintain different number ranges for material document as same as financail document. Financial documents are year based whereas material documents are not.
Also if you are maintaining the material document number ranges as per year specific, then also same document number cant be used. But in case of financial document, the document number can be same i.e year specific.
Different number ranges for Material Document :-
Then assign the specific interval for a specific year like
Year      From Number           To Number
2001      0100000000     0199999999
2002      4900000000     4999999999
2003      5000000000     5999999999
2004      0200000000     0299999999
Still any queries, revert back.
