  • Problem in number range assignment to equipment category

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created equipment categories & now want to maintain no. range for them. But by mistake i have assigned the categories to standard no. range group (PM) .Now i want to reverse it by deassigning to its original place.Please suggest me the way how i can do it so that i can create a new no. range group & assign equipment categories there.
    Also to activate the check box for external number range i am not able to activate or deactivate the check box.Please suggest for this problem also.
    Regards,
    Vivek

    Dear,
    For deassigning to it's orignal place
    Select the category
    Press the select element or F2
    Select the Not Assignt (at bottom of the screen)
    Press the Element/Group or F5
    For creating a new no. range
    Select Group at Menu Bar
    Select Insert
    Now give he Text and give the no. range
    u can not activate or deactivate External check box. See there are two lines if u want to give external no. range then assign the no. range at second line where external no. range check box is already activated.

  • 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

    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.

  • Plant specific equipment number ranges

    Hi,
    Is there ay possibility to maintain plant specific Equipment number ranges,kindly suggest

    Naveen,
    Equipment number ranges are defined at client level. Probably what I could suggest is to create new equipment category for different plants and for that you can assign different number ranges.

  • Some external number range are not valid for equipment creation

    Hi All,
    What could be the reason even though the external number range is maintained for equipment category as a combination of ALFA Numeric, for certain combinations, system accepts while creating Equipment and for certain combination of ALFA numeric number, system is throwing error " equipment number not in external number interval".
    Waiting for your valuable inputs..
    Thanks
    Surya

    Hi
    As your define No. Range is :000AAA-1000 to 000ZZZ-9999.You can Not use No which Involves the Alphbatic Value as "AAA" As it is begaining of your number range .You can Check another upcomimg number which just fall after "AAA" is "ABA"it will accept.Number which come with "AAA" will not accept by system.So you need to start your numbering form the next number of your Define Lower Limit(starting point) value that is "ABA-....."

  • External Number Range setting for Equipment Not working

    As per the Requirement I have assigned A00000000000 - ZZZZZZZZZZZZ to an equipment category through OIEN.
    but I am getting the error message in the IE01 screen whenever I try to create an equiment with some external number for this category.
    Equipment category does not allow alphanumeric equipment number
    Can some one help whether anyother settings are needed.
    (It is to be noted that system gives correct error message if I try to create equipment without giving external number - No internal number range defined for equipment category)

  • The external number range for Equipment master

    Dear Experts,
    My client has requirement to use KKS code as Equipment number as they want to create Notification and Maintenance order using the KKS code.
    For example 10H, 10BEB, 20BHB04, 10LBG10AA001, 10HLA13AA001A, 10ETG10AN001-E  etc.
    All these KKS codes has different character length hence it's not fit in any number range.
    can anyone suggest the external number range that I can use for above requirement?
    Thanks.

    Parag,
    I have checked again. It is working correctly. Remember that the following setting the check box below the column A should be empty. This allows Alphanumeric characters in the numbers.
    SPRO Path to above setting
    My Equipment category of External Numbers is 'A'.

  • Equipment Number Range Clarification

    Hi,
    I have defined the below number range as Creation of Equiment Master (Txn. IE01) for Category Q / Z.
    AAA-0000-AAA ZZZ-9999-ZZZ
    During creation, I would like to change the number as like EDP15890UYT. Can I use the below user exit for the same. If so, can you please pass the code.
    IEQM0003 -> EXIT_SAPMIEQ0_001
    Regards,

    No need to write any logic on this exit.

  • External number range in equipment

    Hello!
    I want to create a number range in equipment which contains letters, numbers, symbols.
    For example equipment numbers like:
    A125D-6
    1-DSDV
    tHANK YOU!

    Hi, if you pres F1 help in OEIN  it is written:
    "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
    So it looks like either leters or numbers but not both.
    However you can ask also in Plant Maintenance forum
    Best Regards, Peter

  • Equipment number range

    Dear All,
    Is there any exit available for configuring alphanumeric internal number range for equipment.
    My client requirement is equipment should generate alphanumeric number internally.
    Thanks in advance
    Johnson

    Hi Johnson
    I dont think we can achieve the Internal Alphanumeric Number Range for Equipment
    The Alphanumeric no range has to be set externally where either a User or an External System can assign the number

    Can you please elaborate? What should i do so that system will not allow me to keep more than 15 characters in number range for  equipement??
    Hi Atul
    Does it mean that i should keep upper limit also? It should also be 15 characters??

  • Differentiating the orders in SNP based on number range but same category

    Hi,
    There is temporary requirement where we need to exclude planning for certain type of STOs/ASNs from heuristics planning. The categories are same i.e. SAP std categories but number range is different and originating plant is different. We can say that i want filter out the STOs and ASNs originating from particular plant.
    Is there any other way than to exclude it from CIF (will have to use user exit) OR through macro functions?
    Appreciate your thinking time for this.
    Regards
    Alhad

    Hi Srinidhi
    Thanks for reply.
    I want the material to be planned for in APO SNP but only wish to exclude orders to be seen in planning book e.g.
    there is one STO starting with number range 45* and other is starting with 65. I would like to exclued them to be seen in planning book. (both have same categories). Only difference between them is 65 are from one specific location.
    This is again a temporary requirement where the stock transport orders and ASNs are not clean and cleaning process is in progress.
    Again, thanks for your time.
