External number range for billing document (Invoices)

Hi guys,
I have a requirement from one of client to implement external number range for billing documents.
I can only see a provision for internal number range in customising for Billing document type.
Please can you assist me with detailson how to set up external number range for billing documents (Invoices).
Thanks, Felix

Hi Felix
I think the similar requirement is in Venezuela also.
So pl. check the SAP Note 849438 . As per the note :-
The solution is delivered in the indicated support packages. In case you can not implement the correspondin support package for your release immediately, please follow the procedure described below:
1. In the Data Dictionary Editor (transaction SE11) please open the definition of domain J_1AOFFNREL, go to the fixed values and add value 'P' with description 'Number Assingment using Prenumbered Forms' in a position so that the possible values remain sorted alphabetically.
2. In the Message Editor (transaction SE91) please go to message class ICC_CN and add the new message 837 with text '&1: Official doc. numbering is not available for delivery documents!'.
3. If you are implementing the note in release 4.6C, please create the following function modules:
o     OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_ASSIGN_VE in function group FIN2, and then copy the interface (all parameters and exceptions) of the function module OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_ASSIGN_TW
o     OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_NUMBERING_VE in function group FIN2, and then copy the interface (all parameters and exceptions) of the function module OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_NUMBERING_TW
o     XBLNR_BUILD_AND_SPLIT_VE in function group IDSDCNUTIL, and then copy the interface (all parameters and exceptions) of the function module XBLNR_BUILD_AND_SPLIT_PECL
4. Implement the source code corrections as shown below.
The following customizing actions should be also executed when the solution by delivered by the corresponding support package. If you applied the solution manually, then please use the IMG activities listed in the section Cross-Application Components -> General Application Functions -> Cross-Application Document Numbering -> Taiwan as a reference. After the installation of the corresponding support package the customizing node for Venezuela can be used.
1. Enable the use of business place for country Venezuela as described in the OSS Note 726537.
2. Define the necessary document classes and configure the document types you would like to get an official document number as relevant for official document numbering in the desired mode. Please check the OSS Note 571376 for some explanations about the meaning of the different settings.
3. Define the necessary number ranges and intervals and assign them to the combination of company code, business place, document class and validity period. If you use the customizing activity for Taiwan, then please leave the prefix field empty.

External number range for Sales Document

hi,
I have a requirement to generate external number range for sales document. I tried this user exit (MV45AFZZ) to generate external number.
FORM USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE USING US_RANGE_INTERN.
Endform.
between these form and enform i written my logic and passing to US_RANGE_INTERN. But can one suggest where to write to generate external number range.
Can any one help me out.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay.

Hi
Here you can assign a different number range for your sales order.
The number range is linked to the order type (field VBAK-AUART), this link is done in customizing.
It usually uses this routine if it can't assign the range in customzing because (for example) for different sales area it need have different number ranges for the same order type.
So you should create an external range by trx SNRO and then assign the number before entering in the main screen of va01 or saving the document.
When you need to assign the number depends on how you want to manage your range.
If you assign the number in entering you has to make sure to not assign the same number document to severals order to be created in the same time by several useers.

External number range for Billing Document

Hi Gurus,
Can you please let me know how to get the external number for the invoices? I know there is no standard way but if there is a way around to determine it. And the external number should be first 2 places are alphanumeric and dynamic and the next 2 places are also alphanumeric but constant and the rest of the digits should be a serial number of length 7. So, the total length of the number range should be 11. Please let me know if there is way to determine it this way.
Example:
AB + HY + 1000001
CD + HY + 1000002
Like wise.....
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gangi

hello, friend.
you can define your number ranges using VN01. in here, you can set up alpha numeric ranges and specify external.
technically, you can assign this set to the billing type using VOFA.
however, it is not best practice to assign external number ranges to billing types, as it is possible to 'jump' the sequence of the numbering. you do want to keep track of the sequence of billing docs.
a possible exception is if you have an external billing software which generates a number, which you will then capture in SAP. barring exceptions, it is best to retain internal assignment.
regards.

External Number Range for Billing documents in CRM

In CRM, billing document external number range can only be numeric or alpha, but NOT alphanumeric. Is this a bug or is there some legitimate reason to have this limitation.
This question stems from a data conversion where the legacy system invoice numbers are alphanumeric. So when we try to convert those invoice numbers, CRM cannot handle the external alphanumeric number.

EXTERNAL NUMBER RANGE FOR INVOICES

Dear Gurus,
Plz tell me how do we put external number range for billing documents.
this option is not there in VOFA.

Hi Anil,
Hi,
Number Ranges are maintained in T.Code: SM30.
Provide the Table/ View, say Bill_Num for example.
In Tab: Restrict data Range, Click Radio button: No restrictions and Click Tab: Maintain.
In new window, maintain all the combinations for Columns: Sales Org, dist. Channel & Bill type and no values in IntNR.
Save the data.
I hope this will work.

Amit

Number ranges for material document (migo) and inventory documents

Hi Gurus,
We need a different number ranges for goods receipt documents and inventory documents because we have different company merged in to one box.Can any body tell me on what basis we differenciate the number ranges how to configure it.
If we take PO, we have different doc types and we assign number ranges to those documents. in case of Miro , it is the single transaction code used by different companies and how to give different number ranges.
Regards,
Sri........

Hi,
I think number ranges of inventory documents are on client level not on company code wise . because even though your creating new document and assigned different number ranges for the documents but these while assigning ranges to T codes (MIGO or MIRO) you dont have option like company codes ( tcode OMBA) so number ranges for inventory documents are at client level not at company code level.

OMX4 - FBN1 - Number range for Material document and FI document

47 - is for FI document number range in Material ledger FBN1. OMX4 gives number range for Material document. My question is how big the number range must be? Since thousands of Materials involved, I couldn't imagin this?
Anybody knows, how to determine the size of no. ranges in Material Ledger configuration? SAP simply says, check no. ranges whether it meets the requirement....
I don't expect an answer again, just check your business, how many transactions would be in a period, which is not quantifiable now?
I would like to understand this from somebody's experience of using insufficient or excessive no. ranges, especially in this area.
Cheers,
Ashok

What is the number range you are using? Year Dependent or Independent?
When you don't know the document number consumption pattern you should use Year dependent number range in both OMX4 & FBN1. Observing this for a month will give a rough Idea and observing for a Quarter will give you a fair Idea and the result for a year gives almost near to accurate consumption of number ranges.
The generation of documents is dependent on the number of materials and Profit centers involved. As much as possibe use Summarization at profit center level when posting to FI. This will reduce the number of documents and line items that are getting generated.

Define a number range for settlement documents

Hello,
We are getting below error while doing T-code AIBU asset settlement.
Define a number range for settlement documents
Message no. KD 522
Diagnosis
No number range for settlement documents defined in controlling area ACA2.
The settlement document is a document type in its own right, which is used for cancelling settlements and repeating month-end closes.
Procedure
Define a number range for settlement documents. Choose Maintain number ranges for settlement documents.
Thanks,
Ratnam

Hi......
Try to use the following T.code : SNUM,
1. Group -> Maintain and Group -> Insert
2. Give your number range a description.
3. Specify one interval for the number range. If you use up this range, you can add more intervals.
4. Select one or more of the controlling areas listed in the block "Not assigned".
5. Place the cursor on the number range to which you want to assign the selected controlling areas.
6. Use Assign element group to assign the controlling area(s) to the appropriate number range and save your entries.
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. Note that the appropriate application table is also transported for number range objects used for group maintenance.
And use :OKG6
I hope you will get some idea.

External Number Range for Invoice

Hi All,
If we use USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE - RV60AFZZ to specify external number then can we enter alpha-numeric or only numeric value.
regards
Debasish

Debasish,
Few things a wish to suggest you,
1. SAP always says try to avoid External number ranges for invoices, as it has legal as well as technical compliances.
2. By using user exit, even though you will enter the external numbers but in case of several and multi user systems there may be chances of inconsistencies.
Anyway if you have decided to do this then Yes its possible you can use Alphanumeric numbers also
Thanks,
Raja

External number range for service items?

I want to create Purchase order with services using BAPI. Is it possible to set external number range for the extrow / introw, so that if I need to change a service line item, I will be able to find out which service item needs to be changed.

It depends on whether you have a service master or not.
1. If you have service master, then there will be a service number (just like a material number). You can use that identify which one has to be deleted.
2. If NOT, then they would still send the text for the Service lines (I guess this will be unique for each line item). So, you will have to identify the line to be deleted by that.
Makes sense?
A question - You are saying you will get information to update the PO, but how does the system know which PO to be updated, how are you going to identify which PO needs to be changed?
Regards,
Ravi
