Alfa Numeric document numbers

Hi All
The client wants to use Alfa numeric doc number. eg AK1000.
The system does not allow above. Does any one know a work around for this.
The client wants to maintain this number in the system as well as use it as the invoice number when printing
Thank you
Regards

Document numbers are alwyas saved in SAP as numeric fields. You can set prefix in document numbering series to show it as alphanumeric on reports such as PLD or crystal.
or as a work arround if you want to have it on document , create UDF (alphanumeric type) on maketing document header level, apply FMS , concatenate aphnanumeric text with document number.
hope this will help.
Thanks,

Alfa Numeric Number range creation

hai SD experts .can any body help me in this issue your help will be rewarded...
i am using 4.7 i know number range creation but i want to create ALFA NUMERIC NUMBER RANGE AND ASSIGN IT TO MY SALES ORDER can any body help me in this issue with detailed steps pls
advance thanks
rag sam

hi
Pls try with the following ,Hope it will help u out
Number Ranges can be maintained Internally by the system, however it can be maintained externally also if you customize it accordingly.
In Standard SAP the Transaction code for Maintaiing Number ranges externally is VN01.
Defining - The same can be reached through in IMG as : Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Document Header-->Define Number Ranges for Sales Documents.
Here you provide the system a specific Number range as follows:
Number range Key Start Number range End Number Range+Current Number
For Example: If you want to propose the following Number Range
*1 9000076000 9000076999 0
The Current Number field will be kept zero as you are proposing new number range and no sales documents have been created on it , Obviously..
*1 is a Unique Two digit Alphanumeric Key, while proposing your key, you should ensure that it should not be there in the system as existing.
If you propose a key that is there in the system or if the Number Range (Start and End Series) is there in the system already, the system will throw a message that Interval already already exists. So choose a key that is unique, and which is not there in the system.
Here , by making this , you are assigning a Key to a Number Range Series.
All the symbols can be used along with numbers from 0 to 9 and Alphabets from A to Z and in any order. For example: !1, ^A, BB,Z*,M2.........
Assigning - In Assigning, you assign the particular Sales Document to the Number Range you have already proposed as above.
The Assigning Part is done as follows:
The Two digit Alpha Numeric Key is maintained or Assigned to the respective Sales Document type in V0V8.
This can also be reached in IMG by:
Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Document Header-->Define Sales Document Types
Locate the particular Sales Doc Type, and double click on it to display it configuration. Here you put the Two Digit Number key in the Field- "Number range External Assignment"

Sequence of Document Numbers

Hi,
I have recently noticed that the numbering sequence of the SAP document numbers which appear after an invoice is entered have not followed a numerical sequence.
I notice them ascending over time but then the numbers just recently went down nine instead of going up one from 559 to 550?....I expected it to go to 560 ....
If this makes sense to anyone...Can you please shed some light on this for me... and you please tell me what process i can follow to find out what may have caused this?
Thanks for your help.
Noopers

Someone would have manually set the current number to 549, hence system picked up the next number 550.
Execute T code SNRO, enter RF_BELEG in Object field and click on 'Number ranges' button. Enter your company code and from the menu on top choose Goto -> Change documents (or press F8) to see changes to your number ranges.

Re-write numerical page numbers to roman numerals for an introduction?

Hi there everybody,
I've been attempting (for some considerable time!) to typeset and format a book. The book needs to have roman numerals running from the first title page (which is in reality left blank through using a secondary master page without page numbers). However, I didn't realise I would need to use roman numerals in the introduction, and instead started the page numbers from the first title page of the introduction. Therefore, my pages that are numbered by roman numerals (copyright page etc) stop at this point and in the introduction become numbers.
I need to change it so it is roman numerals up until the first page of the actual book, all through the introduction, but when I try to change it in the Numbers and Sections tab, it tells me that i've already used the numbers i've typed in.
Basically I would like to know how to take off the first set of roman numeral page numbers and start again??
I'm very confused!! Help would be MUCH appreciated.
Lucy

Is this any help?

Error while creating document numbering series via SDK add on

Dear Experts,
We receive the following error while creating the document numbering series through the SDK add on
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Too many parameters were provided in this RPC request. The maximum is 2100.
From the above error message I can suspect the following possibilities
1. The limit for the document numbering must be less or equal to 2100.
2. There is a problem in the coding in SDK where it does not allow more than 2100 lines in the database.
We tried to create manually for the same fiscal year and period indicator disconnecting the add on, the same error occured.
Then we created a seried for a single document with the period indicator for the next fiscal year, it allowed.
After creating the document numbering for the next fiscal year, we were able to create the numbering for the previous year also.
Kindly help us on how to solve the same.
With regards,
Yeshwanth Prakash

Hi
You have, as far as i can determine without seeing the template,defined no Part Appraiser Column (PAPP) in your template. But you have defined a function on the template to automaticly default the part appraisers.
On the Appraisal document persons (appraiser / appraisee) are getting defaulted as part-appraisers although no part appraisal column excist,and therefor 00 Part Appraisers are allowed. This gives the error. Remove the Part Appraisers default functionality from the template and this problem will be solved.
FYI: The reason why this doesn't give a business check error is that the functions to default participants are BAdI's and we have no means of determining wether or not a BAdI implentation will create an inconsistency on the appraisal document.
Also, the reason that it occurs as a S message and not as E or W is because of programming restrictions in combination with messages. All errors on the Appraisal Document will come as 'S' messages.

Error while updating the Document Numbering Form

While attempting to update Document Numbering , I received the following error message:

thankx and regards,

Hi Vikas,
Repeat the changes you are trying to make one step at a time and make sure you click on update in both the series screen and the document numbers screen every time.
I've faced this issue and doing this helped.

Document Numbering Series and navigation buttons in SBO

Hi there,
A new set of document numbering is created for new financial year.
e.g. SO11-100001 is for financial year 2011 and SO12-100001 is for financial year 2012.
Due to this setup, we have encountered a problem to use SAP navigation button to search between documents such as when I continue to click u201CNEXTu201D button, the documents would be popup in following sequence:
SO11-100001  SO12-100001  SO11-100002  SO12-100002  u2026u2026
Is there a way to just navigte through SO12 series documents only?
If I use series grouping under "Authorizations", this will totally block the previous year's documents. There may still be open docuemnts from last year and therefore, using "Authorizations" is not a wise option.
If there is a workaround, kindly share with me.
Thanks,
Yadana

hi Yadana
in that case u can create a user query displaying the fields u want on the basis on the period indicator i.e. 2011 & 2012
hope this would suffice your concern

[Re: How to Re-Initiate the Document Numbering]

Alpha numeric page numbers

I would like to number pages using letters and numbers. When I put a number in for section and a letter in for sub-section, I get a message that the sub-section has to be a number. I have tried different variations with volume, chapter, section...ect.
I have several sections within this section, each of them is a different letter or combination of letters. See below.
3V-1
3P-1
3S-1
3SCR-1
3PM-1
3Accord
This will eventually be a very large book with many tabs. I want to get the numbering straight before I go to far.
Thanks for all help!
Ohhh...and by the way..I know I could type them in on the master pages, but I want them to show up in the TOC. I think I know how to do that if I can get the combination of letters and numbers using variables for section, chapter...ect.
ls

Thanks Michael. I have another question though. I have
gotten my toc to work in another book by clicking off the "update
numbering" when creating it. It kept changing it back to 1.
I guess if I use Chapter instead of Section, doing it the way you said, I might not have to click the update
numbering button to off. I had tried your suggestion before, but I am using Section
and not Chapter. Why is Section grayed out when you right click
on the document in the tree and select Numbering, and it is available
within the document in the document numbering properties window?

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Align MM and FI Document Numbers in Logistics Invoice Verification

Hi All,
Need help!
Requirement : Align MM and FI Document Numbers in Logistics Invoice Verification
Followed all the steps as per the SAP documentation : Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Number Assignment > Maintain Number Assignments for Accounting Documents
As per the SAP documentation the configuration done should be enough to pass on MM Document No to FI document. But its not working as expected.
I have done the following:
1. Assigned MM and FI documents the same number range and both are in sync.
2. MM Documents are configured to be internally generated,
3. FI Documents are configured to be externally generated.
While during MIRO system generates errror and tells "Accouting Doc number are externally configured" (Not remembe the exact error) ? What is the solution for this issue. I need to align the MM and FI Document Numbers in Logistics Invoice Verification.
Gone through articles on internet and all discuss the same steps and configuration.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/HowtoAlignMMandFIDocumentNumbersinLogisticsInvoice+Verification
Kindly provide inputs as to what could be the missing configuration or probable solution.
Thanks!
Dev
Edited by: dev ahuja on Aug 19, 2010 3:03 PM

Hi,
Following step should be missing in your system:-
*Step 4. Update MM number range assignment. The last step is to assign the MM number range to your MM transaction via IMG menu path Materials Management>Logistics Invoice Verification>Incoming Invoice>Number Assignment>Maintain Number Assignments for Logistic Documents>Transaction - Assign Number ranges. Two transactions are available. LIV contains the following two internal transactions that are used for the MM document number determination:
u2022RD: manual invoice entry (MIRO)
u2022RS: cancel, reverse invoice (MR8M), evaluated receipt settlement (MRRL), EDI invoice receipt, invoicing plan (MRIS), and revaluation (MRNB).
You need to update the number range interval for transaction RD.*
Please check.

Gaurav

Frame Crashes on Save Book After Performing Document Numbering Update

Frame 10 crashes every time when saving book after performing a Format\Document\Numbering update. All of sudden when performing a document "Update" Frame starting generating errors for specific documents in the book. Numbering in docuement does not match numbering for book. So I select those documents generating the error and then do a Format\Document\Numbering and just hit the set button. Then try to save the book and it crashes every time. It crashes for Format\Document\Numbering one document or all of them.

In Frame 7.1/Unix, it is commonly the case that an unrelated crash corrupts the Book's settings for Numbering, although it appears that nothing has changed. It is, of course, a nuisance to reset all the dialogs.
So what I do instead, and which you might try, is to set all of the book number dialogs (all six panes, for each component file) to "Read from File". That seems to be stable and survives crashes. It may or may not fix your problem.

Hi Mahalingam,
There could be various reasons for document number skipping. SAP has given various notes on this.
Note 175047 - Causes for FI document number gaps (RF_BELEG). The note is very comprehensive and has a reference of lot many notes.

Document numbers missing while posting a batch of GL documents via BDC FB01

Hi all,
While posting a batch of GL documents using a BDC program for FB01, all the documents are posted except for a few document numbers getting skipped while posting. For instance, in posting 100 documents, if 101-200 is the document numbers expected to be generated, we are getting a list of doc. numbers from 101-185 and 187-201 thereby skipping the document number 186. But when we post another set of GL documents, the skipped doc. number 186 is first taken and remaining from doc. number 202. Could any one have comes across this scenario or somebody can help to throw some light for the reason behind this. Thanks.
