Maintenance Order Number Ranges.

Hi Gurus,
I am working on the configuration of the Maintenance Orders for my client. I am trying to create 5 different number ranges for the five different order types to be used for five different processes. I have created the number range groups but strangely enough the groups are not visible in the list. Can you please suggest what should I do and where am I going wrong? I am creating the groups ( which are visible when I try to create new ones) from menu bar--> groups and insert.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anoop,
As per the referred case, what the system does is that the number range interval created while creating the new number range group gets assigned to an already existing number range group because there are several number range groups already defined, having no number range interval assigned to them so whenever a new number range interval is added, the number range interval gets linked with the already existing groups despite assigning the number range interval to the newly created group. The system does not even create the new number range group. For this you can change the text of existing groups or else assign each group with an interval and then start creating new groups with the desired number ranges other wise it would not create the group but the number range interval would definitely be created.

Best Practice for Change Maintenance Order Number Range

Hello
We have decided that our Maintenance Orders will always start with the year of the open date. Example 201112345155
Every year we will need to change the number ranges
What is the best practice to change the order number range? What is the best approach here?
I have also another question. Why the "Current Number" is not incremental?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
The current number can be explained by use of buffering of the numbers. Buffering is defined via transaction SNRO, the AUFTRAG object is relevant for orders. When buffering is active, a set of unused numbers are assigned to each application server.
In your example - The fiirst 20 numbers were taken from the available number range and assigned to the buffer (possible 10 numbers to each of two servers). As orders are created a number is assigned from the buffer. Once the buffer values are used a further set of numbers are taken from the number range and the current number is increased (by buffer value).

Service order number range creation

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me how can we create service order number range if we have done a new service order type creation, and what should we do: should we create the number range in development and then transport it to the production or we should directly create it in production.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Please guide me what should we first do to transport the service order type transport request to prd.
1.Should we first transport the request for other components of the service order type?
2.Then should we transport the request for number range or we directly create it in production server?
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

We will be Creating new Purcharse orders with open amounts for new legal entities.
Here requirement for purchase order number range is as belows. How can we achieve this.
Our advice for number range is to use a prefix + old PO number, to ensure the incoming invoices can be easily assigned.
Thanks,
Kiran

HI,
   You may define external number range as shown below, for example:
   Assign the same as external number range for the PO Doc type:
   While creating the PO, maintain the number range externally with the required prefix + old PO number.
Test the same and revert back.

Why after new changes in internal orders settings order number ranges lost?

Dear Gurus,
We have noticed that order number ranges are being lost from time to time.
Than we have analysed that sometimes it happens after new transfers with new orders settings.
Why the system behaves like that?
And how can we avoid this problem?
With best regards,
Kamila.

The process is as below to assign/change number ranges to order types
Create Order type at KOT2 (KOT2_OPA) and enter Order Category ...say 01
Enter Order type name and description and SAVE
Select Number range Interval assingment Icon
At last row of the number range screen you can see your newly created Order Type
(Put the cursor on your order type and press F2) and Select the check box of group under which you need to assign and press F5
Now the newly created order type has been assigned and new number range has been assigned
So you can change existing order type also as mentioned above (even after posting made to that order types)
This could be the reason for changing number ranges to order types
Please take care while assigning number ranges to a new order types. Do not touch number ranges of existing order types

Cannot create work order number ranges

Hi Gurus,
I am working on ECC->XI->SNC systems. I want to maintain work order number ranges in SNC but I am encountering an error or "User is not assigned to a suitable business partner" and also there is no Append Row button to define work order number ranges. Can you please help me configure the user properly? Also, how will the Append Row button appear in SNC? I would appreaciate if you can also provide reference materials on this. Thanks.

Hi,
You are getting this error "User is not assigned to a suitable business partner" because the user through which you've logged in is not assigned to any Business Partner of type "Organisation".
If it it is an internet user, you should assign it to your plant (if he is on the customer side) or Vendor.
The relationship to be maintained it "Is SNC User of".

Dear,
Go to SNRO t-code.
In this t-code enter AUFTRAG object.
This object is for Order type.
Here you will get option No. of Numbers in buffer check it. This is the field which is responsible for number range buffering

Process Order Number Range

Hi Gurus,
How do you exactly add/create Number Range Groups for process orders?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Assigning number range
There are two types of number assignment:
Internal
When saving a data record, the SAP System assigns a sequential number that lies within the corresponding number range interval.
External
When saving a data record, either you or an external system assigns a number. You need to ensure that the number lies within the corresponding number range interval.
In CO82..
Menu path Group -->maintain
In maintain number range group screen,
Group --> insert
Give text and from number and to number
say text = new order say For FG
range - 1xxxxxxxxx to 1999999999999 (tick ext check box if the range is external number range-manual input)
click on +
You can see your group at the end of list
In Not assigned group your new order type will be present
Place the curser on that order type and fallow the menu path as below
Edit -->select element
Select NEW order number range group check box
edit --> assign element group.
Now the number range is assigned to the order type. Save it, You will get a pop up, just ignore it.
Please try and come back.

Production Order Number Range - Not Continuous

Hi Team,
I have assigned the internal number range for my order type in CO82. When the system assigns the internal number (my production order is 10 digit number) to my production order, the number is getting assigned continuously. For example, if the last created production order number is 2481000001 , i am expecting the next number as 2481000002. But system is creating some number like 2481000023. In-between many numbers are missed. Why?
Production Order Number Range Assigned: From: 2481000000, To:2481999999 (Internal Number range)
Thanks

Hi Caetano,
As described in the note 62077, i can do the following setting.
1. Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
2. If you want to change the buffer size only, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
Case 1:
If i activate the option "No Buffering" for object "auftrag", will it have any negative impact like performance of the system?
Should i need to activate the option "No Buffering" for object "auftrag" before creating the production order?
Case 2:
I do not want to deactivate the buffering. But i will set the 'No. of numbers in buffer'as ONE (1). I think with this settings, the numbers will be always continuous. Will it have any system performance impact?
Thanks

Order number range

I have defined separate number range for different for order types.
PM01 - 910000000 to 919999999
PM02 - 920000000 to 929999999
.PM05 - .....
When I am creating maintenance orders, it is taking numers as 910000000, 910000020, 910000040 at a gap of 20. We want it one by one. Why is this happening ?
Regards,
VM

VM,
Its probably due to number range buffering.
See [this|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=5628594] very recent post on this same issue.
