Hi,
You can define different numbering series for the Documents. Administration --> System Initialization --> Document Numbering. In this you can view Document names. For these documents you can define and maintain different numbering series. Double click the button left to Document names. New window opens. In that window you may view "Primary" as Name of Numbering Series. You can rename that name and if you want to add another name then Right click the mouse on #, Menu opens with dew options. In that Menu, select "Add Rows" to add new numbering series in this screen.
You cannot define same number to the different numbering series. ie., If you Raw materials - Starts from 1, then your Stores should not start with 1. If you assign then Document Number Overlapping error may occur. Define different numbering series. Lets assume GRPO- Stores Starts with 1 and its Last number is 100000. then your GRPO-RM starts with 100001 and ends with xxxx.
Like this you can define the series.
or
If you want both the numbering series should start from 1. Then you should go for Administration --> Setup --> Financials --> Sequence. In this sequence setup also you can view few Document names. For these documents you can assign Numbering series. Right click the button left to the Document name. It opens new window. In that window, enter the name of the Document numbering series and it's first number and last number, if required you can define Prefix or Suffix to the series. In this you can assign starting number as 1 for both the numbering series. Let's assume, GRPO - Stores starts with 1 and last number xxxxx, GRPO-RM starts with 1 and last number yyyyy.
It works as an sub-numbering series concept. Your original numbering series will be different from sequence numbers in the document.
You can use any one of the method to solve your problem.
