Material Document Number Range

Hi,
What is the meaning of setting number range as
Year From Number To Number Current number
9999 4916000000 4916999999 4916568199
My understanding is we do not need to set sepeate number for every year once we set 9999. Is that right ?
Thanks in advance.
Gopinath

Dear Gopinath,
Yes , your understanding is 100% correct .
we can configure number ranges as year depenedent and year
independent
if we are using year-dependent number ranges
that you specify same year by year.
01 2008 0100000000 0199999999 100000201
01 2009 0200000000 0200000203 200000000
But when we specify it as year independent , it looks
as below.
01 9999 0100000000 0200000203 100000203

Currently as per standard, system deriving the unique number series for intercompany and third party goods issue since th event type is WL.
Kindly provide your inputs on how we can differentiate the number ranges.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could try to make it through the transaction code following the process as below:
First u need to create seperate document type in OMR4 or OBF4, then create a new number range in OMBT assign your new number range to new created document type then in T. code OMBA assign new created document type to the transaction code so whenever u will create document with this Transaction code u can get new number range.
I hope this helps!

Material document number range to matchthe accounting doucment number range

Hi all,
SRM 5.0 ECS.
We have a reqt to match the material document number range and the accounting doucment number range for goods receipts in ECC ...Is this possible???If so,how??
Thanks.

It may not workout .
Material document number range configuration should be unique other wise lot of confusion.
since material docuemnt and account documents uniquely identified by Year and Number.
some times one material number and two accounting documents can be created while doing good receipt.

Number ranges for Material document are maintained in OMBT.
But there is no need to maintain different number ranges for material document as same as financail document. Financial documents are year based whereas material documents are not.
Also if you are maintaining the material document number ranges as per year specific, then also same document number cant be used. But in case of financial document, the document number can be same i.e year specific.
Different number ranges for Material Document :-
Then assign the specific interval for a specific year like
Year      From Number           To Number
2001      0100000000     0199999999
2002      4900000000     4999999999
2003      5000000000     5999999999
2004      0200000000     0299999999
Still any queries, revert back.

Material document number's range issue

I had the same question so I searched, that should always be the first step before posting a question.
No points to me please as this answer is not from me!
Search results show:
Answer from: Mauro Bianchi (SAP moderator)
This issue with the internal number assignment occurs due to bufferingin the application server. Buffering increases the performance of theserver and documents don't loose their properties. Nevertheless, it may cause gaps in the internal number assignment and sometimes the numbers may not be chronologically assigned. As I stated before, this won't cause inconsistencies in the system and is usually not an inconvenient, unless you require sequential number assignment in your documents due
to legal reasons. In this case, you'll have to disable buffering in the application server.
in order to disable buffering Just access transaction SNRO and enter the Object type MATBELEGhttp:// Number Range for Material and Phys. Inventory Document In change mode, in the menu bar, please, follow the path:
Edit -> Set-up buffering -> No buffering
Check note 62077 which describes this issue in detail

Material document number to match the FI document number

Hello MM Gurus,
May I know if anyone here has encountered a requirement where the material document NUMBER generated from goods movement (GR, GI) should have the same NUMBER with the FI accounting document generated with it? I tried to match the number ranges initially but this would only apply to 1 company code.
Are there user exits here that I can use?

Marvin

Hi
You can create Number ranges for each year in OMBT transaction.

Not able to see backend material document number in SUS

Hi,
A GR is created in ECC. It is avaiable for disply in the supplier's login. We are able to achieve this.
The question is "We are not able to see backend (ECC) material document number anywhere on the screen. We are only able to see the SUS Confirmation number (i.e. as per the number range assigned to BUS2233). Is it standard behavior?
Details: SRM7.0 SP07, ECC Ehp4, Using MM-SUS. Plan driven procurement.
Ganapathi

Dear Manjunath,
Thanks for the response.
We have noticed that, the back end (ECC) material documents are getting replicated to SUS as we are able to see this number in BBP_PD & BBP_PDBEH-BE_OBJECT_ID.
So, let me put the question this way.
Our issue is with display of document in the portal (BSP Pages).
For Example, in case of Invoice, the supplier can see the back end MIRO invoice document number with the "External Reference" Label, under Basic Data section. The case is NOT same with GR. The back end (ECC) material document number is NOT seen any of the layout (for end user, who has logged in as supplier).
Is it standard behavior? If we want that, the suppliers should be able to see the material document number in the portal, when a GR is created in ECC, what settings we have to do?

Document number range - per fiscal year and continuous

Hi Experts,
In document number ranges, generally the FI dox have number ranges which start afresh every year whereas MM and SD dox have continuous number ranges over the years. It is possible to have continuous number range for FI dox also, but not many people use this.
Why this differenciation between FI and SD/MM? Why SD/MM also do not have fiscal year based number ranges?
Also, where do we define that doc range will be year specific or not? or is it SAP standard that FI will be year specific and SD/MM will be continuous?
Thanks and Regards,
Sadhana

HI Sadhana
You have the option to have document rumber ranges either on fiscal year based or upto 9999 year.
This can be done in FBN1.
for posting material documents also above situation applies.
normally everybody prefer to have fiscal year based number range as FI documents are more in number.
You can go through other forum members solution also

Need material document number

Dear all,
I have an issue. Inorder resolve it i need run a run aset up in OL1BW using the material document number.
I have the process order, period, plant and material, but i need to find the corresponding material document number. Can anyone help me how to proceed further?
The datasource is 2lis_03_BF.
Pls also diferntiate between material and materail document number.
Thanks..
Regards
Santhosh Kumar N

The source for 2LIS_03_BF, as Arun pointed out, are R3/ECC tables MSEG and MKPF.
Material - Refers to the material number, or part number, that is being managed. Typically, the material on an R3/ECC system is an 18-byte generated number to identify it to the system and has an industry accepted part number (Manufacturer Part Number) as a conversion exit so that you can enter either on R3/ECC and get the correct material number.
Material Document - Refers to the internal document used for tracking the movement of a material. Examples of material movements would be goods receipts and goods issues. MKPF is the Material Document header table and MSEG has the Material Document line items.
To find the Material Documents, you're going to have to query the MKPF table in your R3/ECC environment to get the document ranges needed for the setup jobs that you plan on executing.

Seperate Document Number Range

Hi all,
I have created a new movement type called 901 and 902 which is nothing but replication of movement types 541 and 542.
But I would like to know if its possible for the system to generate a new document number range for movement 901.
Thanks
Regards,
G. Coelho

Hi Goodwin,
Just a thought:
Why dont you create a sub-contracting PO for the material which your sending out for repair? If the material code does not change after the repair, then just enter the same material number in PO material field & also in the components list. Maintain the price as 1 (currency as per your business need). Once the price is confirmed by your subcontractor, amend the PO.
Issue the material via ME2o or MB1B with 541 movement w.r.t this PO. And when you post a GR for this PO, system will auto post a 543 mvt for the components & a 101 mvt for the PO material.
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vivek
