Classic & EC - PO & other purchasing documents number range

Hi SRM Gurus,
Can any one please explain me more precisely about number ranges in SRM & MM.
For classical scenario, we will define number ranges for PO & other purchasing documents in SRM as internal number ranges and in MM as external number ranges.
But in Classical scenario we will create POs (or other Purchasing Documents) in backend system. Suppose If it is to be replicated to SRM as per business need, then how system works. Because we defined in SRM PO number range as internal number range and in backend system as external number range.
Again in Extended Classical scenario, for MRP materials PR or Reservation will be created in backend system with internal number range. But in Plan-Driven scenario they will be replicate to SRM. In this case how we have to choose number ranges.
I am confused. I'll appreciate if any one explains me with step by step or with examples for Classic and Extended classical scenarios
Points will rewarded
Thanks,

Hi,
Please find my responses in bold below:
For classical scenario, we will define number ranges for PO & other purchasing documents in SRM as internal number ranges and in MM as external number ranges.
Sundeep: In Classic Scenario, you do not define number ranges for PO internally in SPRO. You would only define number ranges for shopping carts, Confirmation and Invoices if required. Please see description of classic and extended classic scenario below.
External number ranges are defined for PR's and PO's in ECC in a classic scenario environment. (No Internal number range is defined in SRM for these documents in classic scenario and a shopping cart is a PR in SRM)
So, basically in classic scenario, you create only a Shopping cart (Internal Number Range) and all follow on documents such as PR, PO etc are created as external number ranges in ECC, which are a result of a shopping cart from SRM having an internal number range locally.
But in Classical scenario we will create POs (or other Purchasing Documents) in backend system. Suppose If it is to be replicated to SRM as per business need, then how system works. Because we defined in SRM PO number range as internal number range and in backend system as external number range.
Sundeep: This scenario is not possible. In classic scenario you cannot replicate the PO back to the SRM system. Such a scenario is usually accomodated by an Extended Classic Scenario.
Again in Extended Classical scenario, for MRP materials PR or Reservation will be created in backend system with internal number range. But in Plan-Driven scenario they will be replicate to SRM. In this case how we have to choose number ranges.
Sundeep: In a Plan driven procurement the PR is created in SRM as a shopping cart with internal number range. (PR = Shopping cart in SRM). No reservations are created locally in SRM from a PDP. Reservation are only possible in a Classic scenario from SRM -> R/3.
· The classic scenario
The shopping cart is created and approved in SAP Enterprise Buyer. The remainder of the procurement process takes place in the backend ERP system(s) and all other follow-on documents, such the purchase order, goods receipt/service entry sheet and invoice, are located there. With SAP Supplier Self-Services, you have partial supplier involvement for the operational procurement business scenarios when buying materials. There is no support for services.
· The extended classic scenario
The shopping cart is created in SAP Enterprise Buyer. The purchase order and follow-on documents are also created there and then replicated to the backend system. The purchase order in SAP Enterprise Buyer is the leading purchase order and cannot be changed in the backend system. Goods receipts and invoices can be pre-entered in SAP Enterprise Buyer or entered directly in the backend system. With SAP Supplier Self-Services, you have partial supplier involvement for all your operational procurement scenarios. In these scenarios, you have supplier involvement for the purchase order and the purchase order response.
Hope this info helps !!
Pls assign points for usefull answers !!

Error in purchase document number range

good wishes sapgurus,
while creating PO via requisition assignment using t.co.me58.
I am getting this error
   *Document number range (i.e PR no.)is not within the defined number ranges*.
I have followed all the steps in this method of creating PO.
I have verified number ranges(which is defined as internal number ranges by default) defined in IMG PR Define number ranges as well as Document type   number ranges.
I seen that the PR number which i created falls within the defined number ranges.
I have tried by defining different number ranges with creating different PR's whose number range is
    within the defined number range.
     But my problem is that The error message is recurring and i stuck up there
      hence pls gurus help me in overcoming this error message
        thank u

Hi Rishi,
   Are you able to create PR then u can go ahead for PO creation
1.) Hope you might be given number range as external so that system is looking for that pattern of number range, plz check thoroughly.
2.) At the node of the define document type for PR use standard document type NB and use the same number range so this error will not get repeat.
Please let me know for futher details
Thanks...

Material Document Number range for 2011

1.     Step by step process for Number range assignment for Material document (GR / GR / Transfer posting) for 2011
2.     Can we define Material document number rage financial year wise (Apr to Mar) like other FI documents number range? This issue is raised by finance dept. IF yes what will be the process?
At present Number range assignment for our company is showing Year as 9999, from number 5000000000 and to number 5000000000
Whether it is mendatory to re-ser number range.
Thanks,
Ranjan Kumar

Number ranges for Material document are maintained in OMBT.
But there is no need to maintain different number ranges for material document as same as financail document. Financial documents are year based whereas material documents are not.
Also if you are maintaining the material document number ranges as per year specific, then also same document number cant be used. But in case of financial document, the document number can be same i.e year specific.
Different number ranges for Material Document :-
Then assign the specific interval for a specific year like
Year      From Number           To Number
2001      0100000000     0199999999
2002      4900000000     4999999999
2003      5000000000     5999999999
2004      0200000000     0299999999
Still any queries, revert back.

BDAI for document number range

Gurus,
Whether there is a badi for document number range entry view.
Regards

This may happen when you try to create a purchase requisition but then abandon it half way through before saving. In this scenario, the number range is incremented but the document is not saved. The next time you will see a gap of 1 number.

PO number not appearing in Purchasing Document number

Hi
I have posted a MIRO. PO number: 4500000013. Now when i see in FBL1N & vendor open items, PO number does not appear in Purchasing Document field. Let me know how to bring the PO number.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Oct 8, 2009 11:50 AM

Hi,
The display of the purchasing document number for customers/vendors via the line item display is not possible. However, you can branch from the vendors/customers line item display into the document overview and there display the purchasing document number for the individual G/L account line items.

Document Number ranges

Dear All,
Pls help me to solve the issue reg document number ranges.
We have defiend the document number ranged for two company codes. Now ths issue is.. this document number range is being used/shared by both the company codes. For ex.. Invoice 01, 02 and 03 is posted in the company code A and we have not posted any Invoice in the Company Code B. If we post the Invoice in the Company Code B, number for the Invoice will be 04. And the next invoice in the Company Code A will be 05. But i will required to change the configuration to split the document number ranges..
Pls help me to do so.
Thank you

Hi,
This thing is obvious if the document number is being shared by more than one company code then it will act the following way...
for example :- Company code "A" is assigned with document number 01 and if you raise an entry it will take the range from 01...like document number generated will be 0000001
Company code "B" assigned with the same document number range 01 the next entry will create the next available number that is ....0000002
This happens b'cz its being shared by both the company codes.
Hence you have to keep seperate document number range for both the company code to avoid this confusion.
Please assign points.

Document number ranges changes

Dear friends,
While creating the document number ranges for current year, user wrongly changed the previous year number ranges, now it is giving new number ranges for new documents which are posted in previous year, how to reset the previous number ranges with out effecting the documents which are already posted.
regards,

Dear,
It is the only way to insert a correct number rang to the current year, and change the document No which posted to previous year wrong to the correct fiscal year. then correct the "current number" to the last one posted in previous year.
But these corrections need necesary authorizations and ABAP knowledge.

Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view

What is the difference between Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view ?
We have new GL activated in our system , and found that the GL Document types ( SA) are assigned to document number ranges in entry view . What is the need to define document number ranges in General Ledger view ?

Hi,
Document Number Range in entry view is the document numbers which are posting in your leading ledger. You cant achieve the same document number range to the general ledger view. A General ledger view can have both Leading ledger view and non leading ledger view therefore document number range should not be kept same for both ledgers as your running document number gets skipped.
That to some times you can only post documents to only Non Leading ledgers. Therefore a separate number ranges needs to be created for general ledger view
Hope u understood.

Document number range - per fiscal year and continuous

Hi Experts,
In document number ranges, generally the FI dox have number ranges which start afresh every year whereas MM and SD dox have continuous number ranges over the years. It is possible to have continuous number range for FI dox also, but not many people use this.
Why this differenciation between FI and SD/MM? Why SD/MM also do not have fiscal year based number ranges?
Also, where do we define that doc range will be year specific or not? or is it SAP standard that FI will be year specific and SD/MM will be continuous?
Thanks and Regards,
Sadhana

HI Sadhana
You have the option to have document rumber ranges either on fiscal year based or upto 9999 year.
This can be done in FBN1.
for posting material documents also above situation applies.
normally everybody prefer to have fiscal year based number range as FI documents are more in number.
You can go through other forum members solution also

Pls help on this & when i am changing from Internal to External system is showing error as "Lower limit can only be changed during Initial Entry".
Pls pls help on this.

Dear ranjith,
If you want to change number ranges from external to internal no ranges,
from T-code FBN1 you can for the changes first go to ,<change status button> and make you counter no as 0 and save the intervals,
and come to change intervals button and change the no ranges according to ur requirement.

Hello
A number range must be assigned to each document type in the SAP System. Via the document types, you distinguish the postings according to the different business transactions, for example customer payment, vendor credit memo, and so on. To store documents separately according to document types, you must assign a separate number range to each document type, for example to invoices or to credit memos.
In the following activities:
You define your document number ranges.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one company code into another.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another.
Define Document Number Ranges
In this IMG activity you create number ranges for documents. For each number range you specify (among other things):
a number interval from which document numbers are selected
the type of number assignment (internal or external)
You assign one or more document types to each number range. The number range becomes effective via the document type specified in document entry and posting.
You can use one number range for several document types. This means you can differentiate documents by document type but combine them again for filing the original documents, provided you store your original documents under the EDP document number.
Note
The type of number assignment is of special importance. For each document type you should check whether a separate number range must be used and which type of number assignment is most appropriate.
One example of a case where external number assignment would be suitable is when you transfer documents into your SAP system from a non-SAP system. The numbers must be unique. The number range is not displayed with external numbers. You must therefore ensure that you do not skip any numbers when entering numbers manually (for organizational reasons).
You should use internal number assignment if the original documents do not have a unique document number. This is the case, for example, with vendor invoices.
Number ranges for documents are company code-dependent. You must therefore create your number ranges for each company code in which the document type is used, namely with the same number range key.
The number intervals must not overlap. If you use year-dependent number ranges, you can specify the same interval with the same key several times for different to- fiscal years (the limit up to which a number range is still valid). If you want to define number ranges which are independent of the to-fiscal year, enter 9999 in the to- fiscal year field.
Caution
For sample documents, use a number range with key X2, for recurring entry documents with key X1. These keys may not be used for other number ranges.
Recommendation
Store your original documents (paper documents) under the EDP number of the SAP System. You should write the EDP document number on the original document. In this way, the original document for a business transaction can be found at any time.
Activities
1. Determine how document filing is to be carried out in your company codes.
2. Define your number ranges accordingly.
3. Make sure that the number ranges are assigned to the corresponding document types.
Copy to Company Code
In this activity, you can copy intervals of document number ranges from one company code to other company codes. To do this, you have to store the following information:
Intervals which are copied
To fiscal year(s) (validity limit up until which the number range is valid)
Company code from which you copy (source company code)
Company code(s) into which you copy (target company code(s))
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the number ranges.
Note
The number ranges are only copied into a target company code if no number ranges exist there within the selected "To fiscal year" interval.
Notes on transporting
The documentation for the step "Define document number ranges" describes how to transport document number ranges.
Copy to Fiscal Year
In this activity, you can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another per company code. To do this, you have to define the following information:
Company code(s) within which you copy
Number range number(s) which are copied
Fiscal year from which you copy (source fiscal year)
Fiscal year into which you copy (target fiscal year)
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the fiscal years.
Note
The number ranges are only copied per company code into the target fiscal year if no intervals exist there for this fiscal year.
