Question

Dear All,
Will the internal number range (Alphanumberic)  of the material master get incremented automatically.
say,
the internal number range we set is AW0000001 to AW9999999. The number range should be incremented
Kindly reply for the querry

Answer 1

You can try with material Template.
SPRO --> Logisitics - General -- > Material Master --> Basic Settings -- > Define Out put format for Material Numbers.
Transaction Code : OMSL
Activities
1. Define the length of your material numbers.
2. If required, define a material number template.
3. Specify the form in which you wish to store your material numbers.
For information on how to use the Lexicographical indicator, be sure to read the corresponding documentation.
4. Specify whether your material numbers are to contain leading zeros.
Note
If the Lexicographical indicator is set, the system ignores the setting of the Leading zeros indicator.
Indicator for lexicographical material numbers
Definition
Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.
Use
Caution
It is only possible to set or reset (cancel) this indicator if no numeric material numbers have been used yet in the system since they would no longer be interpretable after setting or resetting this indicator.
If this indicator is not set, numeric material numbers are padded with leading zeros and stored right-justified (example 1). Material numbers containing at least one nonnumeric character are stored left-justified (example 2).
Example 1
Defined length: 8 characters
Internally/externally assigned number: 123
Stored number: 000000000000000123
Example 2
Defined length: 8 characters
Externally assigned number: 1A3
Stored number: 1A3
If this indicator is set, material numbers are stored as follows:
If the material number (numeric or not purely numeric) was assigned externally, it is stored left-justified as entered.
Example
Defined length: 8 characters
Externally assigned number: 123
Stored number: 123
Note
Any leading zeros that may have been entered are stored too. This makes it possible to distinguish between the material numbers 123 and 0123.
If the material number (numeric only) was assigned internally, it is padded with leading zeros to the defined length and stored left-justified.
Example
Defined length: 8 characters
Internally assigned number: 123
Stored number: 00000123
