Changing Number rangeinterval for position & Persons-During Company Merger

Dear Professionals,
Scenario
Parent Company X, which is a MNC, is in the process of take over of another company B, which was in the process of implentation of SAP.
Company X want to implement the same number range interval for the company B.
Now consultants who were in the process of implementation of SAP in company B has to align the business process according to company X.
a)Is it possible to change the interval for person & position
Requesting you professional input
With regards
Raj

Raj,
At a high level, yes technically, it is possible to change the number ranges to be same in both systems. But for a meaningful solution, there are several questions that need to be answered -
1. Will both the companies be on the same landscape after merger/take-over or will it be different
2. Is one of the companies or both already live with SAP? If so, what are the numbers upto which they have already used?
Good luck,
Rajesh K.

How to change Number range to Contact Person in Customer Master Record

Dear all,
We are maintaining contact person details under contact person tab in customer master record.
Currently contact person is being created using VAP1 transaction.
Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?
and where can we change the number range of contact person.
I have searched a lot to find the solution for this. Please help me to resolve this issue. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
To your first question: "Can we automate this contact person creation by entering the data in contact person itself?"
Yes, you can enter the contact person directly in the customer master in the contact person tab. A number is generated automatically.
To your second question, go to transaction SNUM, and there use object "PARTNER". Here you can configure number range for contact persons.
Hope this helps,

Single Trip number range for multiple personal areas

Hi,
Can any expert suggest me whether can we use single trip number range for multiple personal areas.
Thanks
Srinivas

Dear Srinivas,
This can be done. Please follow the below logic.
Create a new implementation (enhancement) in BADI =TRIP_WEB_NUMBER
Method = USER_EXIT_NUMBER_INTERNAL
with the below codes.
DATA:        LV_ZZTRIPTYPE TYPE PTRV_HEAD-ZZTRIPTYPE,
                     LV_CCLAND TYPE BUKRS,
                     LV_LAND TYPE T001-LAND1.
Fetch the company code from the data inputed.
      SELECT SINGLE LAND1
       FROM     T001
       INTO     LV_CCLAND
       WHERE    BUKRS = ORGANIZATIONAL_ASSIGNMENT-BUKRS.
IMPORT TRIP_HEADER-ZZTRIPTYPE TO LV_ZZTRIPTYPE FROM MEMORY ID 'ABC'.
CASE ORGANIZATIONAL_ASSIGNMENT-BUKRS+0(2).
         CONCATENATE ORGANIZATIONAL_ASSIGNMENT-BUKRS+0(2) '01' INTO NUMBER_SUBOBJECT .
ENDCASE.
NUMBER_RANGE = 'Pass the number range'.
This is an example on how this will work. Please modify accordingly for your company.

Impact of changing number ranges for FI & MM for MM Invoice documents

Hello Friends,
Client is asking to have both MM invoice document number and FI document number to be same, what will the impact of this change since we have done many transactions already in production.
Kindly suggest the best time and way of doing his.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Ravi

We can align both the FI and MM document number ranges in sync
SAP gives you customizing options to make both document numbers the same. The solution lies in the number range assignment of the MM and FI document. You need to configure the MM document number assignment as internal and external for the FI documents. (FI documents are set up with external-assigned numbering, while the MM document has internal, or system-generated, numbering.) In this case, the MM document number is passed on to the FI document, which means that the number of the FI document is identical to the MM document. .
Because the document number assignment in MM is not company code-specific, in contrast to the FI document, you need to take the following points into consideration before using external document number assignments for FI documents. They have the following effects on your system:
u2022     Continuous number assignments for FI documents are not guaranteed, especially if you have more than one company code.
u2022     The document number ranges in MM and FI have to be the same for all company codes.
u2022     In Release 4.6C, you need to use internal number assignments for revaluation documents, invoice reduction documents, Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) postings, or reversal documents. There are no restrictions as of SAP Enterprise 4.70.
u2022     Use a different number range assignment for FI invoice posting (FB60), because FI invoice postings usually use internal number range assignments and the postings originate in FI, not MM.
u2022     If you use document parking and the number range intervals are fiscal year-dependent, you cannot change the posting date of the document if the fiscal year is different to that determined for the previous posting date. In this case you have to delete the document and re-enter it. There are no restrictions for fiscal year-independent number ranges.
please find below the confiuration steps
OMR4 - CREATE NUMBER RANSGES SAY 52 (EXTERNAL)
AND ASSIGN THE NUMBER RANGES TO DOCUMENT TYPE RE.
OMRJ MAINTAIN MM NUMBER RANGES SAY 52 (INTERNAL)
AND ASSIGN THE SAME FOR DOCUMENT TYPE RD.

Change number mandatory for display routing

Hello friends,
Through OP5A I hade made the change number field mandatory for routing.
System ask for change number while changing or creating the routing.
But my question is system should not ask for change number during display routing. ( If a item had gone through many changes during a period. By default system should take latest only)
Is there any way? or some development is required
Thanks in advance
Maruti

Hi,
This requirement is genuine but liitle tricky..
Follow th procedure as below:
in OP5A:
1. Double click on PP Task Lists. Do not select the Change Number mandatory there.
2. Click on Influencing Button
3. Double click on Transaction Code:
Here, select the "Change No." as required and in the Contents filed, put CA01 and Pres Enter.
Afterwards put CA02 and Press enter.
4. Now Press on Influences Button.
Here you can see that the Transaction Code - Change number is mandatory for CA01 and CA02.
But not for CA03
Remeber to press enter after inputing the Transaction codes, otherwise those will not apper in influences..
Try this revert for further discussion.
Regards,
Siva

How to change number range for document type ?

Dear All
Experts
How to change the number range for document types for entry view? I am trying to change the number range for all document type as per defined ranges in FBN1, but at the time of saving document type and number range the system is throwing error message as
Doc. type C1: Number range 07 is used for ledger L6 with doc. type AE
Message no. FAGL_LEDGER_CUST093
I have defined a leading ledger in system too with these settings
1)     Define ledger for accounting.
2)     Defining currencies for it.
3)     Defining ledger group for the same.
4)     Defining accounting principles
5)     Assignment of principles to leading ledger.
Are there any extra settings required for leading ledger settings?
I have some doubts those are :-
How document types defined at ledger level?
How to define them at leading ledger level? (Like my case)
Focus on this will be appreciable.
Regards,
Sharvari Joshi.

hi ,
The document numbers in the leading ledger and the non leading ledgers should be in sync, they should not have any differences, so incase you are trying to change the number range for C1, the number range 07 is already been assigned to doc type AE. i guess you have cant use 07 for C1. may be you can try out with an other number range. check this and let me know if you are able to do this.
coming to
1.How document types defined at ledger level?
2.How to define them at leading ledger level? (Like my case)
Ans 1. please try defining document types for entry view in a ledger.
path : SPRO- financial accounting new -financial accounting global settings new - document -document types -define document types for entry view in ledger.
upon prompt enter the ledger and go ahead creating the number ranges for the document types.
Hope this helps.

Number Range for Contact persons in SAP CRM

Hi Experts,
Can anyone brief me about the contact persons concept in CRM and ERP?
How and where the the no. ranges are maintained , config settings, link between ERP and CRM?
Standard Account group for contact persons in ERP and CRM?
I would appreciate and points would be awarded .
Best Regards
Suchhi

Contact persons can be maintained on both sides. In our case, we mantain contact persons mainly for needs of sales department, so we set master on CRM.
How and where the the no. ranges are maintained , config settings, link between ERP and CRM?
To define number ranges on crm side go to IMG>Cross-Application Components>SAP Business Partner>Business Partner> Basic Settings>Number Ranges and Groupings>Define Number Ranges
For number range created you have to create grouping. This grouping has to be assigned manually or automatically when creating a business partner. The business partner gets a number from the number range that is assigned to the grouping.
This can be defined under IMG>Cross-Application Components>SAP Business Partner >Business Partner>Basic Settings> Number Ranges and Groupings>Define Grouping and Assign Number Ranges
For number range created inCRM system you have to define a corresponding number range in the ERP. This is necessary to ensure that business partners created in CRM system get the same ID when they are replicated to ERP.
Go to IMG>Logistics>General >Business Partner>Customers>Control>Define and Assign Customer Number Ranges
Next define account groups under IMG>Logistics>General>Business Partner>Customers>Control>Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Customer
For each of CRM business partner classifications you have to define a mapping to an ERP account group. Run transaction code PIDE and do the mapping.
And of course your middleware settings must also be in order.
Standard Account group for contact persons in ERP and CRM?
There are no predelivered account groups for contact persons.

Number Range for PO based on company code and document type

Dear All,
I've a requirement to assign a separate purchase order Number Range for a company code for the following document types.
ZNB         Standard PO
ZRB         Return PO
ZUB         Stock transport ord.
ZLPA       Scheduling agreement
ZLU         Transp. sched. agmt.
(Number Ranges are different for each of the doc types mentioned above)
Is it something like I've to create 5 different Number Range objects and then provide the condition in the corresponding user exit , so that the appropriate document could pick its corresponding Number range.
Does anyone have any specific advice / experience on this , I am new to SAP and please advise me as how to go about this requirement. Thanks !!
Srinivas G.

Create the five different number ranges via configuration the configuration for PO. Usually a user exit is not needed. You've really posted in the wrong forum.
There is a lot of work involved in creating a different PO types. It is usually done in materials management.
If everything is done:
In spro go to materials management -> purchase order -> define number ranges.
Once they are defined they should work automatically or be entered manually depending on how your number range is set up.

/RPM/ITEM_MODIFY is not taking custom number range for external ID during creation

Hi Experts,
I face an issue in trying to create projects through file using /RPM/ITEM_MODIFY.
I have been successfully able to create both item and project but it somehow is not taking the external number range for project ID that we had defined for the item type. It takes the SAP standard number for Project ID (external ID). I want the FM to create using the external number range that we use.
Can someone help me with this?
Regards,
Amit

It is not through PS project. No linkage as we have not integrated this with PS. It is through item.. check the code. This is just to check how to create from backend. This is where we don't get our custom project id. it takes sap project id.

Config change-certain plans for specific personal sub-area

Hi,
I have a requirement like, currently there are 3 health plans configured in the system for the employees of the company. It is open for all the personal areas and sub-areas.
Now there is a requirement to change the config as follows:-
The plans (2 health plans and 1 dental plan) should be available only for sunnyvale employees. How do I make these changes so that the plans are available only for employees of sunnyvale personal sub-area. (Personal area=California and personal sub-area= sunnyvale)
Need your guidance at the earliest. Kindly help.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply.
Let me explain again
Currently, there are 3 health plans configured in the system as follows
Plan Type: Medical & Dental
They are a total of 3 plans which are right now available to all the employees of California.
I need to make the following changes w.r.t to the following details
Personal area = California
Personal subarea=Sunnyvale
Emp group=full, temp, intern, retired
Emp subgroup=full, part
I need the above mentioned 3 plans to be available to only the employees of sunnyvale and not the entire california.
I don't know where to go and make the changes so that the plans are available only for the employees of sunnyvale (And not for all the employees of California)
Hope this explains the scenario.
Thank you

LSO: Duplicated Records Created For Each Person During Booking For Course

"The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records."
Does anyone know what problem is this?

Did you solve this problem, Im facing the same problem.
My HRP1001 table is increasing.

How can I setup different number range for each company code?

Dear GURU,
Is it possible to setup different number range for material document by company code? If yes, what should i do.
Thank you in advance.
Thammarit

Hi,
you maintain the number assignment for the following documents:
material documents
physical inventory documents
The number assignment for these documents is not to be confused with the number assignment for accounting documents . The number assignment for accounting documents depends on the document type which is allocated to the transaction.
The number assignment for material documents and physical inventory documents depends on the transaction/event type which is also allocated to each transaction in Inventory Management. The transaction/event types are divided into groups of number ranges. A number range interval has to be defined for each group.
You cannot change the transaction/event types. However, you can change the number range intervals or you can allocate transaction/event types to new groups.
Caution: Change in the Fiscal Year
If, at the time of a fiscal year change, you reset the number range in the new fiscal year, separate number range intervals for the previous year and for the current year must be maintained for one month to allow postings to the prior period.
Example:
Interval for 1995: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900451234
Interval for 1996: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900000000
If only one number range interval exists for both years and you make any postings to the previous period, the system will assign numbers that already exist in the previous year. This would lead to an update termination.
In the standard system, the transaction/event types and number range intervals are preset for Inventory Management as follows:
Physical inventory documents
Number range interval from 0100000000 to 0199999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- IB Physical inventory documents
- ID Physical inventory documents for counts and differences
without reference
- IN Physical inventory documents for recounts
- IZ Physical inventory documents for count without reference
- WV Physical inventory documents for difference postings in the WM System
Material documents for goods movements and inventory differences
Number range interval from 4900000000 to 4999999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- WA Goods issues, transfer postings, other goods receipts
- WH Goods movements for handling units (HU)
- WI Material documents for inventory adjustment postings
- WL Goods issues for delivery documents (SD)
- WQ Goods movements for usage decisions (QM)
- WR Goods movements for completion confirmations (PP)
- WS Goods movements for run schedule headers (PP)
- WZ Documents for batch status changes
Material documents for goods receipts
Number range interval from 5000000000 to 5999999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- WE Goods receipts for purchase orders
- WF Goods receipts for production orders
- WO Subsequent adjustment of subcontract orders
- WW Subsequent adjustment of active ingredient materials
Inventory sampling numbers
Number range interval from 0200000000 to 0299999999
This group contains the transaction/event type SI.
SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.
Note
For performance reasons, 10 document numbers are buffered on the application server. In this way, gaps in number assignment can occur.
Actions
Check whether you can use the predefined groups and number intervals.
If you want to change any groups, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
b) Select the transaction/event type that you want to re-allocate.
c) Place the cursor on the new group and choose Edit -> Assign element group).
d) Save your settings.
If you want to define new groups, proceed as follows:
a) Select Group -> Maintain.
b) Then select Group -> Insert.
c) Enter a text for the number range group.
d) Maintain the number interval for this number range group.
e) Allocate the transaction/event types to the number range groups (see step 2).
If you want to maintain new number range intervals for an existing group, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
b) Select a group and choose Interval -> Maintain.
c) Choose Edit -> Insert year.
d) Maintain the number interval for the new fiscal year.
If you do not want to use the year-related number assignment method, enter 9999 in the field Year.
Note on transport
You transport number range objects as follows:
In the initial screen, choose Interval -> Transport.
Note that all intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at the time of export.
Dependent tables are not transported or converted.
Thanks and regards
Rajesh
