Vendor number ranges - skip

Hi,
In our organization, we have defined the number range for vendors from 1000 to 2000 but the number of vendor codes created are 1999 but in XKN1, the current status is 1500 onlly. But when we try to create a vendor, it is stopping saying that the vendor code 1501 already exists and so on. Please help...
Thanks a lot...

Hi Sridevi,
Make sure,
1. Number is not external.
2. Check whether other company codes have created vendors under this group.

Vendor number range issue

Hi,
In testing server when i created a vendor it skipped number series sequence. Lastly vendor was created with xxxx50 but upon creation it created vendor with xxxx67, i have heard there is some problem with buffering settings in SNRO but when i look there i find it to be set as 5 then why system is skipping so numbers. Anyone can help me on it.

Hi,
Please ensure that none is using the system during the copy, this can generate this gaps
Also check note 175047:
In note 175047 you can find a summary about situations, where missing
document numbers (gaps) could occur. See also the referred notes at the
bottom of the note.
The possible and usual causes for the number range gaps are as follows-
   1. User exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE in program RV60AFZZ.
      Please check the user exit.
   2. Number buffering (which might not be applicable to your case)
      Please check transaction SNRO for object RV_BELEG to verify
      if buffering is switched on. Please refer to the attached
      note 62077, 23835 and 363901.
   3. Update termination
      This is the most likely cause of number range skipping.
      Please review trxn SM13 for update terminates during the run. If
      so, copy them in this message. Please also use trxn st22 to check
      whether shortdump occurred. If yes, upload the first 15 pages of
      the dump into this message.

Vendor number ranges

Dear All,
i guess there is sum buffering set in the system for vendor number ranges ,
coz wen i create new vendor it skips sum of the number and shows next number in vendor number range
how can i set buffering zero ,,as we do in material ,
thanks,

Could u plz guide me how to get the number range object for vendor?
coz i used,, the object name vendor , but it doesnt work ,
thanks

Reset of vendor number range

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in which we can reset the vendor number range? We have already created vendors but some numbers were skipped. Is there a way in which we can re-use it?

no you cannot reuse the skipped numbers. Do not reset the number range.
You will certainly hit the situation that next number would be a number for which you already have a vendor, then SAP cannot save and not proceed further, until you are chaning the number in the range again.
But you can change the buffer setting, then SAP will not skip numbers in future.
execute SNUM, enter KREDITOR, click change and set buffer to 1

Inspection lot number ranges skipping

My inspection lot number ranges are skipping, those are std number ranges like 01 origin, 04 origin etc, what could be the reason for that.
Inspn lots are getting generated and I took UD also. But certain numbers in the range got skipped.
Eg:- Incoming inspn lot 010000000041 then it comes 010000000045
Lot numbers 01/42, 01/43, 01/44 does not exist in sytem.
Please suggest a way out
Thanks

Craig,
But expert suggestion says, not to switch off buffer thru SNRO as it may affect fuctionality as you said early in this discussion.
But I believe, this is to be relooked by SAP as number range skipping is not good (My case its skipping 5-7 numbers at a time). But I am not convinced with the reply from SAP also.
Anyway thanks to you craig for your advice.
SAP Note on this matter for reference of all. Thanks
================================
Note: 62077
Summary
Symptom
Gaps (jumps) occur when allocating internal numbers.
The status of the number range interval does not match the number that was last assigned.
The number assignment does not reflect the insert sequence.
IMPORTANT: Read Notes 504875 and 678501.
Other terms
Document number, number range, number range object, buffering, current number level, trip number assignment, number interval, CO document, CO actual posting, inspection lot, material document, physical inventory document, production order number, planned order number, process order number, maintenance order number

Reason and Prerequisites
A large number of number range objects are buffered. When the system buffers a number range object, it does not update numbers individually in the database but reserves a preset group of numbers (depending on the number range object) in the database the first time a number is requested, and makes these numbers available to the application server in question. The following numbers can then be taken directly from the application server buffer. New numbers are not used in the database until the application server buffer has been used up.
The effects described under "Symptom" are a direct consequence of this:
If an application server is shut down, the numbers that are left in the buffer (that is, that are not yet assigned) are lost. As a result, there are gaps in the number assignment.
The status of the number range interval reflects the next free number that has not yet been transferred to an application server for intermediate buffering. The current number level therefore does not display the number of the "next" object.
The current number level (for each server) can be displayed using Transaction SM56. Call transaction SM56 and choose the menu 'Goto' -> 'Entries'. In the dialog box, enter the client, the affected number range object (for example, RK_BELEG) and possibly the required subobject (corresponds to the controlling area for the object RK_BELEG).
If you use several application servers, the numerical sequence will not reflect the (chronological) insert sequence because the numbers are buffered separately on the individual hosts.
Buffering the number range objects has a positive effect on performance, because the system no longer has to access the database (number range table NRIV) for each posting. Furthermore, a serialization of this table (database locking) is prevented to a large extent so that posting procedures can be carried out in parallel.
Solution
Since number range buffering does not cause any expressly assured qualities to be lost, no correction is required.
If you still require continuous allocation, you can deactivate the number range buffering specifically for individual objects.
Proceed as follows:
- Start Transaction SNRO and enter the affected object.
- Choose 'Change'.
- Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
- If you want to change the buffer size only, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
- Save the changes.
Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered - in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import a release.
In particular, read Note 678501, bearing in mind that changing the buffering type - if not explicitly recommended by SAP - constitutes a modification. For other possible solutions, refer to the following notes:
179224, 599157 and 840901.
For the the following number range objects, gaps may cause users to have doubts since they are 'expecting' a sequential numbering:
Area CO:
- RK_BELEG   (CO Document)
CAUTION: Note that the problems described in Notes 20965 and 29030 may occur if you deactivate buffering.
- COPA_IST (Document number in actual posting)
- COPA_PLAN (Document number in planned posting)
- COPA_OBJ   (Profitability segment number)
Area FI:
- DEBITOR    (Customer master data)
- KREDITOR   (Vendor master data)
Area HR:
- RP_REINR (Trip numbers)
Area PM, PP, PS
- AUFTRAG    (Order number, production, process, maintenance order, network number)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
Area MM:
- MATBELEG   (Material documents)
- MATERIALNR (Material master)
Area QM:
- QLOSE      (Inspection lots in QM)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
- QMERK      (Confirmation number)
- QMERKMALE (Master inspection characteristics in QSS)
- QMERKRUECK (Confirmation number of an inspection characteristic in QM results processing)
- QMETHODEN (Inspection methods in QM)
- ROUTING_Q (Number ranges for inspection plans)
- QCONTROLCH (Quality control chart)
Area Workflow:
- EDIDOC     (IDocs)
Number range buffering can be activated or deactivated at any time.
Number range objects that have to be continuous due to legal specifications (for example, RF_BELEG, RV_BELEG), or due to a corresponding application logic must not be buffered using the buffering type 'Main memory buffering'. See also Notes 37844 (for RF_BELEG) and 23835 (for RV_BELEG).

Number range skipping & getting reassigned

Hello All,
I am getting a situation where the number ranges are getting skipped & then later the skipped number ranges are getting assigned again to new documents. This is happening for excise documents, customer master & material number. When i checked the number range objects in SNRO, there is no buffer assigned. What is confusing to me is that the number ranges once skipped should not get re-assigned to new documents.
request you to please give your expert comments on this issue. Thanks in advance.

You may need to refer OSS 1817764 - Number range skip in Customer / Vendor Master Data
and 1646025 - Material number skipping while creating material in transaction MM01

Having Two GR/IR account based on Vendor Number Ranges.

Dears,
Requirement of our client is to maintain Two GR/IR accounts based on Vendor number Ranges. I explained, as per standard functionality of SAP we can not have 2 GR/IR accounts based on vendor number ranges since system is checking the valuation class of Material but we can have 2 GR/IR accounts based on the Materials.
Please suggest me if there is any possiblity of having the above scenario so that I can add more points.
Thanks,
Omprakash

Hi Shahin,
You can do this using,
Material master QM view : Set the control for inspection lot creation as each material document,batch, storage location.
Inspection plan: Use the dynamic modification at characteristics level.
DMR: Create a DMR(lets say every 5 deliveries, assuming PO delivered in 5 delieveries) and assign it to each and every characteristics which you want to skip.
Please let me know whether it helps.

Vendor Number Range Conflict SAP ECC and CRM 2007

I need to load SAP ECC Vendor data from SAP to CRM and have setup most of the configuration as required. However I have an issue, the vendor number range used currently in our SAP system is already in use in our CRM system and has been for some time (for Prospects and Contacts). What is the best approach to dealing with this issue...
My initial thought was to see if we could have two different numbers for the same vendor in ECC and SAP CRM
eg SAP Vendor "50000001" equates to CRM "VEN50000001"
Is such as approach supported? Can you point me to the documentation that shows how such an approach could be implemented. What approaches have others done to address similar issues?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
By the way we are on CRM 2007 sp4

Hi Eddie,
SAP Note 1044637 - Customize Vendor Numbers
Implement the code present in the attachment. You can
change it according to your own requirements. The example code
suffixes 'VEND' before the first six digits of the vendor
number before it is downloaded to CRM.
Thanks,

Vendor Number Range relation with account group.

Dear All,
I have one more doubt. Kindly clarify.
I know that account group and vendor number range and linked with each other. Number range can be assigned to one or many account groups. Let's consider a case where 3 Account groups (assume X,Y & Z) have one common number range. When we create a vendor, in an account group (for example, X) vendor code assigned internally is 100000.
Subsequently if we create another vendor in the account group Y, will the vendor code assigned intenally be, "100001", considering intervals to be of 1 or any other number falling in the number range assigned to this account group?
Does there lie any rule or method which assign the code in this manner or any other...?
EnjoySAP,
Thanks

Hi,
When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number comes from the number range provided for the account group.
Internal number assignment
Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined, irrespective of any number of account groups attached to which the number range has been assigned.

Missing Vendor Number Range

Dear Expert,
By mistake while uploading FI Vendor master to system we had given the Vendor Number in the template.
The vendor number range is maintained as internal.
All the vendor was updated and it is showing also.
But when in system we try to create new vendor it is showing account already exists.
We checked the number range the current Number is still zero.
Is there any program or any method that we can bring this current status sync with existing vendor master we had uploaded into the system.

Hi,
check T-code XKN1, tick "status", update the current number to the needed one.
Best regards, Christian

Xkn1 creation of vendor number range doubt

hi
In xkn1 vendor number range,
I want to insert the interval, as 02 10000 to 30000
when I try to save or insert , it is not saving,
A popup as "enter intervals without overlap "
if i try to change it to 2 or 20: its not accepting it, a message popups as existing number,
how to come ovr this problem,
before inserting number range, should we enter company code , please help me.
warm regards.

The reason you are getting that error message is that, that number interval is already used by another number range. Check the existing number ranges and choose an interval that is not used yet. Or you can assign an existing number range to the vendor group that you have created if that range satisfies your requirements.

SAP buffer for Customer Account Group (number range skipping)

Dear Experts,
When creating new customer for Account Grp = TRDL for my company, I find out that the number range always skip and this problem continues. Someone told me to check it out if the problem might comes from buffer. In Tcode = SNRO (Object = DEBITOR) I find out that buffer setting = 5.
The Question is how can I check if this buffer rate is compatible with my SAP environment? or which rate is more compatible and help solve the problem of number range skipping?
If anybody have some suggestion please feel free to contribute it.
Thank you very much

Hi,
in SNRO, take out the flag for
"Main memory buffering".
SAP recommends:
Dependencies
When buffering number intervals, gaps may result in number assignment. Buffering is therefore not possible for applications, which require continuous number assignment.
What happens is that the system loads consecutive numbers into the buffer, in your case these are five consecutive numbers. When you create customers and do not use all the numbers already in the buffer, the numbers remain open. Example: You start XK01 for customer creation, create three customers and then logoff. You have two open numbers remaining. Numerical example: 1, 2, 3 have been used, 4 and 5 have been reserved, but are open.
When invoking XK01 again after subsequent log-on, the system pulls the next five numbers into the buffer. Since 1,2,3,4,5 were already taken (for the previous buffer), the next buffer goes from 6 to 10.
Numbers 4 and 5 will never be used, the practical consequence of that are the number gaps that you have noticed.
Hope this helps.
Rudolf

Number range skipping

Hi All,
Lately, Our billing number range has started to skip from tiem to time. So sometime ago i dug out and realised it was happening only while network trip. I was wondering if anyone has done any development on this or used some kind of validation to avoid using number range untill it is saved or anythign else to avoid such number jumps.
Any clue will be helpful. thank you in advance.

Gaps in vendor number range

Hi SAP Gurus,
I need your help in understanding the gaps in vendor number range,
I have created an internal number range for a vendor account group and created many vendor for the same.
However when I see the sequence of the vendors for that account group, I found gaps, can you please advise me why this gaps are generated by the system and where I can see the corresponding gap numbers in SAP.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply,
Can you please advise me in which SAP table I can find all gaps whcih occured due to deletion.
Thanks,
Ramesh,.

Vendor number range

Hi friends,
Originally, we set up vendor account number to be external from 10000 to 19999. The last vendor number we created was 10051.now I unchecked the external box and make the number range to be internal with same range . When a create the vendor with the change, I expect the system will give me a number of 10052 after the creation. However I got a stop sign message say: "10000 has been created" . Creation failed. Then I tried the 2nd time, this time the stop sign error message says"10001 has been created". It seems I have to go through 51 times (my last vendor number was 10051) to be able to create a external vendor number.
Is there any way I could do to solve the problem?
thanks in advance,
Linda

Hi,
Check in SPRO (T.code XKN1) .
Here for the number range, in change mode (by clicking status button)you can maintain the current number as 10051. Then you can try to create a new vendor master and the system will pick the next number internally.
Regards
