Alpha numeric number Ranges

Hi Folks,
Can somebody suggest me if we want to use alphnumeric number ranges Ex:A09XY234 for student masterdata what are the problems we have to face inSAP.
Vara

Dear Vara,
I assume you mean the studentnumber and not the object ID's?
In SAP SLM there is a standard switch which you can use to choose a numeric student number or alphanumberic. Beside that you have a Badi which gives you more flexibility:
Requirements
You need to implement the business add-in for assignment and checking of student numbers in the following cases:
You want to use numeric student numbers which must comply with special rules and have a check digit, for instance.
You want to use alphanumeric student numbers.
IMG: SLCM --> Master data in SLCM --> Student Numbers and Object ID's --> BAdI: Student Number Assignment
Because the student number is an attribute (abbrevation) of the object (1000) ST you will likely will not face problems in SAP SLM with an alphanumeric student number.

Regards,

This alpha-numeric format is not possible directly with SNRO settings.
You need to opt for external number range, and in the exit of your respective transaction you need to takecare of this number generation explicitly by programming.

any more inputs from experts are welcome..

Dear friends,
We have a requirement related to number range determination in billing doument and the requirment is as below -
a. Number Range need to determine as alpha numeric
b. No External number ranges to use and always determine as internal
c. The codification for the number range is as below -
1S59000001 - Codification for number range
For your information, in our scenario billing is generated automatically through batch run.

Hi,
You cant maintain the INTERNAL NUMBER RANGE with Alphanumericals.
For this you have to use the USER EXIT
Try this user exit

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"

How to configure Alpha Numeric No range for the Material Type

Dear Expert,
i kindly request for expert help on alpha numeric no range for the Material Type.
business is looking for material no like 910442208571D. at present we have no range like 9000000000000 to 9999999999999
how i can configure in the system??
pl. help me on this
Thanks a lot
H shah

Hi,
System will not bring alphanumeric number of materials automatically during MM01.
Check use exit MGA00002 - Material Master (Industry): Number Assignment.
Also check 2 Function Modules:
EXIT_SAPLMG02_001 - Customer Exit: Internal Material Number Assignment
EXIT_SAPLMG02_002 - Customer Exit: External Material Number Assignment.

HI,
Any option for adding alpha numeric no. range for PERNR (Employee no.)
RX

Better you can use Numeric only....
see the sap help
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

With reference to the same please let me clear, if it is possible to create alpha numeric number range for the same object.
I tried in SNRO but system does not allow for this.Next is , if any userexits are there to achieve this.
I know, this issue is hardly seen in any implementation but if anybody has gone through this and got a proper solution, please share your experience.

Hello,
You can define number range for Purchase requistions in OMH7 transaction agaist each number range number and you assign can assign these number range number to your purchase requistion document types in SPRP >> Materials management >> Purchasing >> Purchase requistion >>Define doucment type.
E.g for NB doc type number range number is 20
and in OMH7 number range number 20 has interval from- 2000000000 to 2099999999
same way
for RV doc type number range number is 21
and in OMH7 number range number 21 has interval from- 2100000000 to 2199999999

Thanking you for taking a note of my querry.

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.

Unable to replicate both Numeric and alpha numeric vendors records from R3

Dear all,
In our ECC 5 environment, we have some vendors who master record numbers that are numeric internally assigned i.e 7000000 or 23000000 and some alphanumeric externally assigned i.e SmallBusiness1 or Grinad10. This is posible as you may know via vendor account groups.
We have implemented a classic scenario in SRM 4, Server 5 environment, therefore we need to replicate ECC backend vendors masters. We initally set SAP's AB business Partner (vendors) number range in SRM to A - zzzzzzzz and created numeric number ranges to match thoes set up for all our vendors in ECC.
When we ran BBPGETVD only the alpha numeric vendors records replicated down to SRM. The numeric were ingnored. The BBPGETVD t-code was reporting that the other vendors had incorrect data.
We then chnaged the AB Business Partner (vendor)number range to 000000001 - 999999999 and ran BBPGETVD. Only then did the numeric vendors get replicated down to SRM. But the issue is now, I cannot replicate the alpha numeric with out chaanging the number range back to A - zzzzzzzzz.
Question,
How can I set the Business Partner(Vendor) number range in SRM to anable the replication of both Numeric and Alpha numeric assigned vendor records down to SRM.
Thanks,
Grace

Christophe,
PLEASE HELP I HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE NOW!!!
On the subject of setting back the internal BP number range, does SRM expect it to be set for example to:
01 0000000001 - 0000999999?
Should the grouping for this internal number range be also ways set to 0001. Iam refernceing the settings in our sandbox client, they seam to be set up that way.
If its set to say 0003, will this cause a problem?
Because we have set all our BP ranges to external, any ORG unit, USER or position that we created after we "removed" the internal number range does appear to be working.
I have noticed this. when I login as a new user and try to create a shopping cart, tthe product category drop down does not work on the "new user".
If I go in the BP transaction and search for this new user or new unit org units that where created after the removal of the internal number range nothing is found!. The last internal BP number is 105.
Question.
If I set the internal number range back to
01 0000000001 - 0000099999 and set the current number to 106, then delete and recreate the org units, do you think this will work?
Please help I need to get this issue sorted out because as you said no new org unit/user can be setup.
Thanks Again.

SD number ranges

Hello All,
Is it possible to have Invoice series based on Year state / Company
Code/ plant / billing type.. As we need to maintained numerous number
range for all the states / Company Codes / plant / billing type.
At present we are assigning the same through user exit for Delivery /
Invoices and via a separate tables But all number ranges are in
continuation of each other other and which are defined and maintained
is SAP standard T.C VN01 which is common for all SD documents i.e.
Order / Delivery / Invoice .
Our requirement is we want to define i.e. from 1 to 10000 for each
plant / state for delivery / Invoice and want to<b> initialize every
year.</b>
Thanks in advance.
Bharat

you cannot do it in SD by standard because SD number ranges don't have year. You have to create Z number range object in SNRO and manage it into RV60AFZC - FORM USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE_INV_DATE and get numbers with FM:
