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.

Haris

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.

2 external number range for vendor

Hello,
I am facing a problem when I try to replicate vendor from R/3.
I have 2 external vendor number ranges maintained in SRM, But only the last created external number range is taken into account when i replicate vendors from R/3.
Please could you tell me how can I maintain 2 external number ranges in SRM?
This is very urgent, I need to replicate vendors from R/3.
SRM 4.0 Extended Classic scenario.
Regards,
Shaiek

Hi Lina
You will have to combine all number ranges in R/3 and create one number range in SRM, if you want to retain the R/3 numbers.
e.g. If your R/3 number ranges are
100000 - 200000
600000 - 699999
In SRM, you need 100000-699999 as the external number range.
At any point of time, you can make only one no. range as default in SRM.
Best regards

How to change internal number range into external number range

Hi All,
There is a number range in the system which was assigned internally by mistake earlier. Now, I want to change the internally assigned number range to external number range.
Can anyone please let me know, the procedure to change used number range from internal number range to external number range and from external number range to internal number range.
Quick reply will be appreciated & points will be assigned.
Thanks & Regards,

hi Mehak,
you can try to simply change the range from ext to int (and vica versa). If that does not wrok, than you can delete the range and recreate it with proper settings. But you have to take into account that if you have a range as external from 1 to 10 and for example numbers 2 and 5 are taken already than you recreate the range 1..10 as internal, than you could have some problems. Probably best is in this case to recreate with other interval.
hope this helps

How to get the Next free Number for External Number Range

Hi ,
To get next free number for External Number Range, I have used NUMBER_GET_NEXT Function module.
It is throws the exception like NUMBER_RANGE_NOT_INTERN.
How can i get the next free number for external number range object. And How to update the Current Number for External Number Range Object
Scenario.
Call Function module              NUMBER_GET_NEXT
Import Parameter.
NR_RANGE_NR : 02
OBJECT            : RV_BELEG
QUANTITY         : 00000000000000000001
I am getting Exception : NUMBER_RANGE_NOT_INTERN
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ram

Hi Anand,
The SAP system issues the numbers for internal number range intervals automatically. This number is between the from-number and the to-number. The last number issued is logged in the current number level.
You need to enter a number for external number issue. The number you enter needs to be between the from-number and the to-number. For external number ranges, the number number used is not logged. So the next available number is not possible in a straight forward way.
Only for Internal number ranges, the FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT can get the next available number.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Balaji

Exit for assigning external number range to sales document

hello friends,
can anyone help with this issue.in tcode 'vn01' we are assiging internal number range but we dont want that number range that is external number range rather than using internal number for sales document.i.e the number range should start with 'ufc'followed by some number range.
plz reply as soon as possible .
thanks and regards,
siri

Hi Sirisha,
I believe you can assign external number range manually by using transaction SNRO and then assign the number range before entering into the main screen of VA01 or saving the document.
The number range is linked to the order type (VBAK-AUART), this is done in customizing.
For different sales area it need to have different number ranges for the same order type.
Please see that the same sales doument number should not be linked to several sales orders which are to be created,if I am not wrong

CC01 how can i choice a specific number range ?

Dear
In trx. OS53 i have defined two different internal number range object for change master record.
When I create a new change master how can I choice a specific number range ?
Thanks.

Hello,
If my understanding is correct then its internally in the system for the type - Change master and ECR the change number
object used is AENNR and where in you can assign a common number range group and it will be used for creating change
numbers of both these types.It's not as like the production order type where you can link a different number ange for each
order type.
In the standard SAP to set of number range (one internal numbe range and one for external will be assigned) exists.so aaume for CC01 you can make use of the internal number range,where during CC01 without any value for the field change number you can proceed.When creating through CC31 you can make use of external number range by giving the change number as the input and you save the data.
Hope the information is useful

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.

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 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.

Storage unit external number range

Hi all,
we would like to assign external su numbers to existing inventory and upload those su's during inventory conversion from the legacy system to SAP. I assigned the external number range in the storage unit number range configuration. I created the material document for inventory upload. when i try to assign an external SU number in LT04, I get an error " external assignment of numbers from an internal number range not allowed".
Appreciate any suggestions.
thanks

go SE91
enter L3 212 and display
select the message and click long text.
SAP explains that you must not define an extra external number range .
in customizing of the storage unit number range you define in the field next to the number range how the number is assigned.

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

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
