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 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 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)

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)

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.

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.)

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

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.

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

There was a need to check whether all the mandatory pricing

the invoice is released to accounting as and when it is created.
Piece of code written below ensures the same. Field uvprs = 'X'
in item table indicates that the item is incomplete with respect to
pricing.
LOOP AT xvbrp WHERE uvprs = 'X'.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

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

Depreciation external number range

Hi,
I am having one doubt:
the depreciation posting always happens with external document number range If the external no range tick is not clicked then the system should take the internal number range.
But if the check is not ticked then the system is not taking internal number range although it is asking for the number range to be external.
I just want to ask is there any other setting which defines that depreciation should be posted with external number range.
Regards,
Meenakshi

In earlier version i.e prior to ecc 6.0 the asset depreciation document type number range was external. There is no special settings required , since it is standard procedure.
However from ECC 6.00 you need not define the document type to be external.

Sd invoices posting with External number range

Hi,
i am a fico consultant and dont know the proceedure that how to post SD invoice thorugh Sales orders with external number range?
while posting it is giving error like use internal number range.how to over come this.help me
Thanks
Prathima

Good Afternoon Prathima.
Use tcode OBA7
Look for Doc type RV Billing Doc trn.
This doc is generally used for posting Billing doc to accounting.
Here you would find Number range as external.
Reason: As per standard, the Accounting doc number is similar to your the Billing account.So, that there would not be any difference in numbers of both, therefore for accounting doc - Billing doc trnsfer (RV) the number range is Internal number but the Billing doc type will havre internal number range.
And as you are FI consultant, I don't feel I need to explain why or purpose these numbers should be similar from accounting point of view.
Hope it solved your query. Kindly reward.
Take care. JP.

External number ranges in asset accounting

Hi All
Why we need to select external number range for asset accounting number ranges why not other sub modules?
useful answers will be rewarded with points
Regards
Prasad

hi hariprasad,
you only have to do that for depreciation posting. the reason for that is the way the program which posts the depreciation is designed. it creates a batch input with the opstings adding the doucment numbers as well and saving these document numbers into a table. when you want to post the depreciation for next month (period), first it will check if documents are already posted for previous period (or forgotten there in the batch input session). this is only valid before 4.7 (or 5.0?), from that release depreciation is also posted with internal numbered documents.
hope this helps

Packing instructions - problem with external number range

Hi Gurus:
I have a problem with configuring packing instructions. I have created a number range entry with external numbering (tx. OPIN), but when I want to create a new packing instruction in POP1, I get an error message: Manually-entered packing instruction ID cannot be checked (Message no. VHU01116). Can you please tell me how to avoid this error message?
The system works fine if the number range is set to internal. As a matter of fact, initially I did create a setting with internal numbering and conducted a couple of tests, but I had to change the "external" flag in the number range to meet business requirements. Is it possible that somehow the system does not recognize that I have changed the flag and I need to run some generation program or something similar?
I appreciate your valuable input
Tamas

For further records:
we have found the problem after debugging the function. In order for the system to accept the external number range, a second number range object with ID 02 must be maintained in OPIN. Then you can use this number range as external and keep the first as internal.
