Equipment number range

Dear All,
Is there any exit available for configuring alphanumeric internal number range for equipment.
My client requirement is equipment should generate alphanumeric number internally.
Thanks in advance
Johnson

Hi Johnson
I dont think we can achieve the Internal Alphanumeric Number Range for Equipment
The Alphanumeric no range has to be set externally where either a User or an External System can assign the number

Plant specific equipment number ranges

Hi,
Is there ay possibility to maintain plant specific Equipment number ranges,kindly suggest

Naveen,
Equipment number ranges are defined at client level. Probably what I could suggest is to create new equipment category for different plants and for that you can assign different number ranges.

I want system should give me error when number range is more than 15 characters but currently i can create upto 18
Please let me know what needs to be done so that system checks this number range

Hi Paul
Thanks for replying. Unfortunately i could not interpret what you are trying to say
Can you please elaborate? What should i do so that system will not allow me to keep more than 15 characters in number range for equipement??
Hi Atul
Does it mean that i should keep upper limit also? It should also be 15 characters??

Equipment Number Range Clarification

Hi,
I have defined the below number range as Creation of Equiment Master (Txn. IE01) for Category Q / Z.
AAA-0000-AAA ZZZ-9999-ZZZ
During creation, I would like to change the number as like EDP15890UYT. Can I use the below user exit for the same. If so, can you please pass the code.
IEQM0003 -> EXIT_SAPMIEQ0_001

No need to write any logic on this exit.

External number range in equipment

Hello!
I want to create a number range in equipment which contains letters, numbers, symbols.
For example equipment numbers like:
A125D-6
1-DSDV
tHANK YOU!

Hi, if you pres F1 help in OEIN it is written:
"External intervals can only contain either letters or numbers, as sorting can differ between platforms (Code page):
Allowed: 000001 to 999999
AAAAAA to ZZZZZZ
Not allowed: AAAAAA to 999999
So it looks like either leters or numbers but not both.
However you can ask also in Plant Maintenance forum

Problem in number range assignment to equipment category

Hi Gurus,
I have created equipment categories & now want to maintain no. range for them. But by mistake i have assigned the categories to standard no. range group (PM) .Now i want to reverse it by deassigning to its original place.Please suggest me the way how i can do it so that i can create a new no. range group & assign equipment categories there.
Also to activate the check box for external number range i am not able to activate or deactivate the check box.Please suggest for this problem also.
Regards,
Vivek

Dear,
For deassigning to it's orignal place
Select the category
Press the select element or F2
Select the Not Assignt (at bottom of the screen)
Press the Element/Group or F5
For creating a new no. range
Select Group at Menu Bar
Select Insert
Now give he Text and give the no. range
u can not activate or deactivate External check box. See there are two lines if u want to give external no. range then assign the no. range at second line where external no. range check box is already activated.
Regards
Sunil

Some external number range are not valid for equipment creation

Hi All,
What could be the reason even though the external number range is maintained for equipment category as a combination of ALFA Numeric, for certain combinations, system accepts while creating Equipment and for certain combination of ALFA numeric number, system is throwing error " equipment number not in external number interval".
Waiting for your valuable inputs..
Thanks
Surya

Hi
As your define No. Range is :000AAA-1000 to 000ZZZ-9999.You can Not use No which Involves the Alphbatic Value as "AAA" As it is begaining of your number range .You can Check another upcomimg number which just fall after "AAA" is "ABA"it will accept.Number which come with "AAA" will not accept by system.So you need to start your numbering form the next number of your Define Lower Limit(starting point) value that is "ABA-....."

External Number Range setting for Equipment Not working

As per the Requirement I have assigned A00000000000 - ZZZZZZZZZZZZ to an equipment category through OIEN.
but I am getting the error message in the IE01 screen whenever I try to create an equiment with some external number for this category.
Equipment category does not allow alphanumeric equipment number
Can some one help whether anyother settings are needed.
(It is to be noted that system gives correct error message if I try to create equipment without giving external number - No internal number range defined for equipment category)

Hi Jogeswara Rao,
Check you other post for reply
Plant Maintenance & Customer Service->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Technical Objects->Equipment->Equipment Categories >>>> Maintain Equiment Category >>>> select your category and check whether you have ticked "No Alphanumeric Equipment Numbers" or not.

Alphnumeric External Number range for Equipment category

Hi,
Is there any other option that I can restrict length of external alpha numeric number range except that exit IEQM0003? This exit only applicable or restrict when you save the equipment.
Requirement is like external number range should be like AAA-000 to ZZZ-999. System must not allowed any other equipment number which is out of this range. ( must be 7 character)
As far as my understanding , system use string comparison once you use alphanumeric number range and you can create equipment with 18 char length except special character if above range is maintained.
Please correct me if i am wrong and suggest.
Thanks
Anish Ahya

Hi Zenith,
Its not available in Standard SAP, please use the user exit and tell the ABAPER to check the Equipment numbering (count) before entering into Creation screen. In IE01,entering equipment Number, Category and date after completion of this activity when we enter continue icon there u can put a condition to check the length of equipment number. I implemented that user exit and i got the result. its working fine. User Exit: IEQM0003.

The external number range for Equipment master

Dear Experts,
My client has requirement to use KKS code as Equipment number as they want to create Notification and Maintenance order using the KKS code.
For example 10H, 10BEB, 20BHB04, 10LBG10AA001, 10HLA13AA001A, 10ETG10AN001-E etc.
All these KKS codes has different character length hence it's not fit in any number range.
can anyone suggest the external number range that I can use for above requirement?
Thanks.

Parag,
I have checked again. It is working correctly. Remember that the following setting the check box below the column A should be empty. This allows Alphanumeric characters in the numbers.
SPRO Path to above setting
My Equipment category of External Numbers is 'A'.

Create Equipment with same Number rang at Diff Equipment Catagory

Hallo Guys,
client bymistake created some equipments which are actually PRT with catagory M ( Machine)
now they made deletion indicator to that and inactive the part and now want to create same machine as a PRT with same number range interval
as that of made at machine, but as per std system is not allowing to create duplicate records.
How to achive this ?
Regards,
Rip

If no Equipments were created after the Deleted Equipments then you may have an option.
Tcode OIEN
Go to Number range interval, Then the Current number can be changed as under. Reduce this Current number by those many equipments. Then new equipments will have the same numbers of the deleted equipments
You should do it in trial servers and if suits to you then you can decide to go ahead. You should be prepared to have filters in Selection-screes to avoid the DLFL INAC equipments appear in the reports

Synchronization of Asset master records and Equipment Number

Dear friends,
We are facing problem with the Equipment number that automatically gets generated during the Asset creation.
We used Internal number range for Equipments which is similar to Asset numbers and whenever an Asset created automatically Equipment get created with same number as the number ranges we maintained are same.
Recently we implemented Sub-Asset process and After implementing Sub-asset concept in to our Asset accounting the synchronization is not happening.
Can some one tell how I can come over this issue.
Ex:      Asset 12045          Equipment Number 12045
     Asset 12046          Equipment Number 12046
     Asset 12045-1          Equipment Number 12047
How can I address this?
Should I go for External number range ? if Yes, then how can I do after so many Equipments got created with Internal number range.
Thanks,
KK

Hi KK
There is no sub number range in equipment as we have for assets. So you will not match the number range beween assets and equipments records whenever you go for sub assets.
We have this scenario and we are not matching the asset number to equipment records.
If you still want to have the same numbers, then you can go for external number range as proposed by you.
thanks
Ashok
