Internal and External number ranges

Hi,
If we have already created an internal number range and posted few SA documents. Then can we change the internal number range to external number range or vice versa(i.e external to internal number range)
Regards
Adnan

Hi Kalyan,
Thanks for the information. but just now i have tried changing the external number range to internal number range. It was successful. But i was not able to change internal number range to external number range
However, when i changed the number range from external to internal i had to also change the current number (so that the document numbers already posted should not conflict)
Regards

Internal Number Ranges: Doc. No will be provided by the system automatically in serial order allotting the next available progressive number. The number must be in numerical. We have to use the T.Code FBN1
External Number ranges: Doc. No will be given manually by the end user. System will not lock no automatically in this case. User can pick the number randomly. Number may be an alpha numeric.
IT IS LIKE VOUCHER NUMBER FOR ALL TRANSACTION

Here we create the number ranges for documents. For each number range you specify:
1.A number interval from which document numbers are selected
2. 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.
Number ranges for documents are company code-dependent. We 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.
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

Change from Internal to External Number range for customer account group

Hi,
We would like to change the number range assignment for a customer account group from internal to external. The external number range assignment check box is greyed out as a few numbers in the range have already been used up. We want to do the internal to external assignemnt change, create a customer of a specific number, and revert the range back to internal assignment. Is this possible?
Appreciate your help.
Ram

Hi,
Please do the below steps:-
(1) Go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain status" button. Note down the current status and change the status to zero. Save.
(2) Again go to SDN1 and click on "Maintain No. Range" button, and change the no. range to external. Save. (if that number range is maintained for multiple years, then make it external for the first yer and for the subsequent years, it will become automatically.)
(3) Then create your customer with specific number.
(4) Then go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain No. Range" button, and change the no. range to internal. Save. (if that number range is maintained for multiple years, then make it internal for the first yer and for the subsequent years, it will become automatically.)
(5) Again go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain status" button. Maintain the current status as the number noted down in step (1) above. Save. (In case number created in step (4) is greater than the number notes in step (1), maintain the number of step (4) in current status.)

Feature NUMKR - internal and external numring range

Hi,
We cant to use external numbering range for conversion new hire. But after go-live we want to use internal numering range.
What is the best strategy here?
Should I keep the numbering range as external until conversions are done in produciton and then change to internal?
or
use numkr feature, where based on some fiels ( MASSG) I Set external numbering range and then move to internal numbering range?
please advise

Option 1 is the most flexible option available. You will have to be careful when switching the number range to internal, however. Please double-check the last number used and the current number in the system and verify the current number with the customer just before changing.

Internal and external ranges...?

Hi All,
I have one question about internal and external ranges. When im sending some products data from source (200) Client to Target (202) Client. I have to find out its using internal or external updates.
Pls give me sample code how to check that.
Akshitha.

Hi,
I dont think a sample code can solve your problem. You can take help of your functional consultant while working with Number Ranges.
Internal Number Ranges and External Number Ranges are used to generate sequetial numbers, which we can create in the SNRO transaction.
Internal Number Ranges are Auto matically generates the numbers in the given ranges for the Object where as we can give certain number with the ranges given is the External Number Ranges. So External number Ranges are Obiviously useful for Data Transfer between two systems or Clients.
Because the Masterdata should reflect same in both the system, with that only integrity stands there .,
We can find this with debugging the corresponding program.

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

Internal - External Number Range in OM

Hi Expert,
Could you help me with node of configuring number range in OM.
What is Internal number range - when is it used?
What is external number range - when is it used?
Thanks in Advance for your reply

hi,
spro>Personnel Management>Organizational Management>Basic Settings>Maintain Number Ranges-->Maintain Number Ranges or you can use T.Code OONR.
in OM every object has a 8 digit key which is given by system itself is an internal number.
if we are assingining a number range to through then it is external number range.
some time if client want to go with his desired number series for positions or jobs or org units then we assign the external numbers to the objects and meet the requirement.
hope this is clear to you !

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.
