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

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.

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'.

External Number Rane for Equipment using Serialization

Hi All,
I have following requirement.
I need to give the external number range to equipment, at the same time this equipment is serialized. How can it be achieved?
Description: Materials are purchased and at the time of GR material is serialized. I dont want to use the internal number range for equipment, so I am not using equipment number range creation at the time of GR.
Also I can't use the change serial number & activate equipment funcationality. ie. IQ02. (Beacuse here again internal number range for equipment is used)
Sundar

Hi Pete,
I can use the external number range at the GR/GI if material serial number and equiment numbers are synchronus.
But in our case both serial number and equipment number are different.
How can I achieve external number range for equipment for the material and serial number which are already in store. I have to activate the equipement view after the GR for same serial number....OR.....I have to create the equipment seperatly with external number range with same serial number which is available in store.

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-....."

I have already followed the steps given by you only I cannot find the assignment of measuring point category to the number range. I have also done the number range assignment for equipment and functional location but there it exists here it does not.
It is also showing me the error of external number while creating the new measuring point. Please do guide about the assignment to the number range.
Thanks again.

External number range for measuring point

Hi experts,
How to assign external number range for measuring point ?
Regards
Shashi

I have just checked and the measurement point number is linked directly with tthe object for eaxample equipment and when I tried this I got the same result the system defaults the number based ont he internal number range.
This being the case what is the business requirement that you need to use external numbering as this may help and someone may be able to assist either with an answer to the problem or an alternative solution.
SAP documentation as follows:
Create Number Ranges for Measuring Points
In this step you define number ranges for measuring points.
Notes
As the numbers for measuring points are assigned internally, you should work with the standard settings. If you want to make changes, you should always use number range 01.

How to assign numbers in external number range?

Dear experts,
Since NUMBER_GET_NEXT can only be used to assign numbers in internal number range, how to assign numbers in external number range?
So far, I only know the NUMBER_CHECK function module to deal with external number ranges and it only check a number whether it lies in any external number range or not, but it doesn't update any number range status. What I need is a function module like NUMBER_GET_NEXT that supports external number range.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Haris
Edited by: harissahlan on Oct 19, 2011 5:44 AM

With external number range, there is no updating of the number range objectt. The only thing you need to know is whether the number you wish to assign is allowed according to the external number range. And also check if there isn't already an object/document with the same number in the database.

Creation of HU in auto mode with external number range

Dear Experts,
         I'm stucking in a scenario related to HUM
There are two handling units -
1. Bag
2. Pallet
through T code HU02 , it's possible to create an HU and assign it internal generated number.
But as per our requirement , we want to assign the external number to the HU (which is barcode number of bag or pallet)
Can you pls let me know the process of assigning External number range to HU.
Also we want to create the HU automatically after GR in production (MIGO,101) , instead of manually via HU02.
Pls explin the process of creation of HU automatically also...
Thanks in advance..

Check with FM BAPI_HU_PACK.For packing an item into HU.
For external number range you need configure external number range
SPRO>Logistics - General>Handling Unit Management>Basics>Technical Basics-->Define Number Ranges for Handling Units.
After GR for production you need to confighre internal number range for perticular packing material type then system will automatically pack and place in HU location.

Select subgroup $$O to maintain number range for Org Unit and click on Number range Maintenance. Then click on change Intervals. Now you can create both internal and external number range for Org Unit according to your requirement.
Similarly for Position select subgroup $$S and follow the same process.

External number range for purchase order response?

Hi all,
is it possible to use an external number range when creating purchase order responses (BUS2209, PCO, POR) manually?
If I transfer the POR from an external system like SUS via XML, can I use an external number range?
I'm using SRM 4.0 (EBP 5.0) in standalone scenario with Business Connector 4.7 as XML interface.
Any help is appreciated,
Karsten

Hi
No need to maintian Internal number range.. Yes you need to use an external number range
Only the PO, RQ & RS are sync and therefore must correspond with the R/3 number ranges.
The rest, Shop Cart (SC), Local PO (EBP), Confirmation, Invoice, Bid Inv and Bid, aren't synced and can be assigned to any number range. (FYI- using ECS)

SD - Billing - External Number Range

Hi,
I have two questions related to SD billing document numbering:-
1. I am getting error message of [Please specify an internal number range Message no. NR752] while saving a billing document based on the delivery. I have checked only external number range box in VN01. Do I need to use any user-exit for this? If yes then there are 2 user exits available -
a) USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE_INV_DATE USING US_RANGE_INTERN in program RV60AFZC
                          b) FORM USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE USING US_RANGE_INTERN in program RV60AFZZ
but both the cases the variable is US_RANGE_INTERN which is not allowing external number range ID to pass. How this external no range works.?
2. I have a business requirement for our Mexican company code on external alphanumeric number. There would be 3 billing types say, ZF2, YF2 and ZYF2. Mexican government provides Invoice numbers in advance.
ZF2 Number range would be A001 to A999
YF2 Number range would be B001 to B999
ZYF2 Number range would be C001 to C999.
All these Invoices would be created at same time. i.e. parallel processing. Also all these invoices would be transmitted thru EDI -IDOC. And accounting document should have same number as billing document will carry i.e. external govt provided numbers.
How do I map this in systems. My experience says alphanumeric number range is not supported by SAP. Anybody may share his solution on this would be simply great.
Thanks

Piece of code written below ensures the same. Field uvprs = 'X'

Root org. unit with External number range

Hi all,
I have a unique requirement.
We need to create a root org. unit. I used PP0CE to do the same. But it would generate org. unit numbers internally i.e. system generated.
We would like to assign an external number range to the root org. unit created.
In case I try to create it using PP01, we have to provide a relationship to other org. unit while creating root org. unit in PP01.
It would be great if someone can tell me the solution for this issue.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
You can maintain number range even for org units, as follows:
Here
01 - plan version
A, C, O, P etc are object types
after selecting the respective ie 01O IN Ex ,
now click on maintain number range where you can clearly specify the number range either internal or external.
Then u can start with TC PPOCE
Thanks
