Number range for materials?

Hi all,
i defined number range for a material type as from Y001AA001 to Y999ZZ999 (external). my aim is to give material code only like this :
Y456BC734, Y938RT899 etc.
But the system is just controlling first letter. When i don't begin with 'Y', system is giving an error message. but as long as i begin with 'Y', the system is not controlling others. i can write everything after Y (eg: Y836487 or YJDFKLJ etc.).
What can i do?
Edited by: sd sd on Feb 12, 2008 11:22 AM

for the material type i hope u have not marked the check box
t code oms2 select ur material type and click on the deatail button
w/o external checking (i do not recall exact name of the check box )
this check box should not be marked

Same Number Range for OTHR and DLFC

Hi All,
I want to know whether we can mantain different number range for OTHR and DLFC transaction Type for same Series Group.
i.e for Returns Vendor Delivery Excise Invoice(MM side-OTHR) and Outgoing Excise Invoice(Sales Side-DLFC).
Pls guide me..
With Regards
Azeez.Mohd

even when you sell SFG / Trading goods -( HAWA / HALB) , then also you have to update RG1, though they are not FG materials.
Material type in terms of excise, but not in terms of SAP.
eg:
When customer returns the goods, you can process it in 2 ways-
either by creatign Excise JV - J1IH
or by following MM route, nothing but by creating Incoming excise Invoice wrt:inbound delivery-LR in Tcode:J1IEX-
where in excise tab, material type will be defaulted as "F-RG1", but it has to be changed to "Raw Material".
similarly, Vendor returns also treat as the same,
for your info, adjustment of excise duty for vendor returns will be routed through excise JV in J1IS & mov type:122 -ret to vendor is activated for RG1.

Issue on Number Range for MRP Purchase Requisition

Hi Gurus,
Please help me on the issue explained below.
We are already using SAP ECC 6.0 and SRM 5.0 and now we are implementing Plant Maintenance Module.As a result of this implementation ,we have created number of PR document types and assigned to unique number ranges in ECC. One of these document types has been maintained for MRP group for a material type in order to identify the MRP purchase requisitions created on the shortage of the materials for these material types.
This functionality is working fine. MRP run for the materials is picking the appropriate PR document but number range of the document is not the same what was assigned to the linked document type.Some other number series is getting picked by system .
There is setting under SPRO Consumption Based PlanningNumber RangesPurchase Requisitions
Here, number range assignment is against plant. This is the same number range which is being taken by system on running MRP. But the desired number range is the one which has been linked to PR document type.
If I change the number range above then number range for MRP PR in present system will get affected..
Can you please advise me on above so that PR generated on MRP run should have appropriate number range?
Thanks & Regards,
Niti

Hi,
As per my understanding, what you have mentioned above is exactly the way SAP is designed. Its SAP Standard behaviour.
But if you check your PR document type - no:range & the CBP no:range both will be same only since both refers to the same object.
Please check the PR document type that you have assigned in the CBP & its no:ranges.
Thanks & Regards,
Ram

OMX4 - FBN1 - Number range for Material document and FI document

47 - is for FI document number range in Material ledger FBN1. OMX4 gives number range for Material document. My question is how big the number range must be? Since thousands of Materials involved, I couldn't imagin this?
Anybody knows, how to determine the size of no. ranges in Material Ledger configuration? SAP simply says, check no. ranges whether it meets the requirement....
I don't expect an answer again, just check your business, how many transactions would be in a period, which is not quantifiable now?
I would like to understand this from somebody's experience of using insufficient or excessive no. ranges, especially in this area.
Cheers,
Ashok

What is the number range you are using? Year Dependent or Independent?
When you don't know the document number consumption pattern you should use Year dependent number range in both OMX4 & FBN1. Observing this for a month will give a rough Idea and observing for a Quarter will give you a fair Idea and the result for a year gives almost near to accurate consumption of number ranges.
The generation of documents is dependent on the number of materials and Profit centers involved. As much as possibe use Summarization at profit center level when posting to FI. This will reduce the number of documents and line items that are getting generated.

Number Range for Returnable Gate Pass.

Dear All,
We Issue an Returnable Gate Pass with Material .
These RGP has common series for all the plants.
For example, in 1200 plant we have issued RGP with series number 4900003295 dated 21.07.08 and in 1400 plant we have issued RGP srl no. 4900003235 dated 03.07.08. The system is generating the number from one Number series only.
This is serious problem.
My Client wants to get the different Number Range for RGP issued from Different Plants.
Points will be awarded .
Please reply.
AV

Hello,
Please note that Number Range is at Client Level hence you cannot have different number range for different plants. Th same is not possible in SAP.
However there is a workaround, in MIGO we have GR/IR field. In this field we can go in for automatic number range based on Plant. By doing this you can explain you client that though the Material Document number range will remain the same but still by looking at the GR/IR number you can easily differentiate as to which Plant.
You can define the same in Materials Management>Inventory Management and Physical Inventory > Number Assignment > Define Number Assignment for Goods Receipt/Issue Slips

Hello,
You can define number range for Purchase requistions in OMH7 transaction agaist each number range number and you assign can assign these number range number to your purchase requistion document types in SPRP >> Materials management >> Purchasing >> Purchase requistion >>Define doucment type.
E.g for NB doc type number range number is 20
and in OMH7 number range number 20 has interval from- 2000000000 to 2099999999
same way
for RV doc type number range number is 21
and in OMH7 number range number 21 has interval from- 2100000000 to 2199999999

Number Ranges for Purchasing Info Record

Dear Guru's
Number range interval for Purchase info record can be created and assign to group and there are two group for Stock and Non Stock materials.
Now my query is how the system pick the number range ??? Since we don't have any assignment like PR,PO
My requirement is we have 3 company code - I need to have different number ranges for purchase Info record for each company . Guide me to achieve ...
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anand

SAP has provided only Two standard document Types for Pur. Info Records.
IL for Stock Material ( with matl No.)
IN For material Group (w/o MMR).
By default, if you enter Matl No. in the initial screen, system automatically picks the doc. type IL and the no. range assigned to it.
If you're not entered matl. no. in the initial screen, and proceed the Transaction further, system picks the doc. type IN and prompts you to enter Matl Group.
In the second case, the system picks up the no. range as per assignment.
Here in your case, you want create a new no. range and assign to your IL/ IN.
For this, you go to the transaction Define No. Ranges in Inforecord, from menu bar, choose Group-> maintain. Here you maintain your new no. range with a name. Now your new group is created with your required no. range.
Then select your new group ( Check box), select, IL, and click assign button and save.. Your IL is assigned to your new group and system picks the new No. Range when you are creating a Inforecord with Mat No. Similarly, you can change No. range for IN also.
or one more option you have.
In the first screen of No. Ranges Transaction, select change intervals tab button, you'll be goto intervals screen. There, from Menu bar, choose Interval-> change current No. Then you reset your current no. to Zero, save it. The again choose Change Interval, then in that screen, change the Interval with your new no. range.
Here in the second case, u need not maintain new groups. Just changing the Interval for the existing group.
You can adopt any one of these options.

Number Range for PO based on company code and document type

Dear All,
I've a requirement to assign a separate purchase order Number Range for a company code for the following document types.
ZNB         Standard PO
ZRB         Return PO
ZUB         Stock transport ord.
ZLPA       Scheduling agreement
ZLU         Transp. sched. agmt.
(Number Ranges are different for each of the doc types mentioned above)
Is it something like I've to create 5 different Number Range objects and then provide the condition in the corresponding user exit , so that the appropriate document could pick its corresponding Number range.
Does anyone have any specific advice / experience on this , I am new to SAP and please advise me as how to go about this requirement. Thanks !!
Srinivas G.

Create the five different number ranges via configuration the configuration for PO. Usually a user exit is not needed. You've really posted in the wrong forum.
There is a lot of work involved in creating a different PO types. It is usually done in materials management.
If everything is done:
In spro go to materials management -> purchase order -> define number ranges.
Once they are defined they should work automatically or be entered manually depending on how your number range is set up.

Number range for trans./event type WA in year 2006 does not exist

hi
while posting stock in MB1C screen the following error has been faced by me, i hope a answer from any one of u.
thankyou
venuprasad

Hi Venu,
In the sytem there is no number range assignment for event type WA (Goods issues)in the year 2006. In SPRO -- Materials Management -- Inventory Management -- Number ranges for material documents -- Number ranges for Goods Issues/transfer posting -- For WA insert year 2006 and assign the number range for the year 2006.
Number ranges for material documents will be maintained year wise.
Hope this clarifies. If you have any issue. Post it back.
Thanks,

Number Ranges for the Serial Number Profiles

Hi All,
We wanted to trace the Goods movement based on the serial numbers. we could make this possible by attaching the serial number profile with relevant procedure (Stock Chk) to the Material.
Now the issue left out is of Number range and the pop-up for the existing serial numbers for the material. Is it possible to define Number Ranges (Ext. / Int) to the Serial Number profile ? Also, to get a pop-up for the serail numbers of material currently in Stock, which can be issued. Currently, I have to get the detail of sr. No. thru' IQ09 / IQ03.
Pls advise.
Shekhar.

Hi,
Yes. In IMG under Plant maintenance -- > Technical objects -->Serial No profile.
Here you can create diff profile with difff procedures.
And mention the properties of each.
There is a material master record for each type in the system. For control purposes, the company wants to know which customer received which collector type, and which serial number(s) of the collector type were supplied to the customer, when the individual solar collectors were delivered.
It is therefore necessary to assign a serial number to the customer delivery in addition to the material number.
A serial number master record is created with the assignment of the serial number. You can maintain data fields specific to the serial number in the master record.
At a later date, it may be necessary to enter equipment master records for materials that have already been serialized and delivered to customers, for example, if the producer of the solar collectors also has to perform maintenance activities for the customers and therefore wants to use all the functions available in the equipment master record for a serialized material.
In order to keep this option open at any time, you must define a number range for serial numbers. The numbers assigned from this number range are not the serial numbers but reserved keys that stand for the combination of material number and serial number and the equipment number that may possibly be assigned.
You can also define one or more serial number profiles.
The serial number profile defines how and under which conditions a serial number is assigned for a material.
Note
A material can only be assigned serial numbers after the required serial number profile has been entered in the material master for a specific plant.

Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number?

Hi,
Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number assignment?
For example, we are doing packing, then a Handling Unit number has been generated. So where to define this number range of the HU number??
Is it from the SPRO or controled by programs.
Thanks.

Hi,

A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Figure 1: Handling unit example
Structure
The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
     Identification number
     Dimensions
     Weight
     Volume
     Status
     Materials and quantities
     Packaging materials
     Packing instructions
A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
Handling unit header
The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
     General data
     Means-of-transport data
     Additional data
     Output determination procedure
For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
Status
The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
Handling unit item
The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto  Detailed HU data  Contents.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.

Number range for trans./event type WE in year 2008 does not exist ?

Hi,
When I post goods receipt ( MIGO) I got the error :
Number range for trans./event type WE in year 2008 does not exist
When I modify with OMBT ==>
1999 0002000000 0002999999 0
2008 8000000000 9999999999 8000000000
But I still get the same error , So Could you please help me this ?
Thanks

Hi
With the present settings, you can post the docuemnt in the year 1999 witout any error. But, if your requirement is to post to the current period then you have to maintain the company code for materials for this period.
To maintain the company code, go to transaction MMPV and enter the company code as 0001, posting period as 05 and year 1993. Once the transaction is complete, again enter for 06/1993. You need to execute the transaction month wise from 05/1993 to 06/2008.
Alternatively, you can create an LSMW for the same and maintain the company code.
Finally check whether the period 06/2008 is appearing in OMSY transation.

How can I setup different number range for each company code?

Dear GURU,
Is it possible to setup different number range for material document by company code? If yes, what should i do.
Thank you in advance.
Thammarit

Hi,
you maintain the number assignment for the following documents:
material documents
physical inventory documents
The number assignment for these documents is not to be confused with the number assignment for accounting documents . The number assignment for accounting documents depends on the document type which is allocated to the transaction.
The number assignment for material documents and physical inventory documents depends on the transaction/event type which is also allocated to each transaction in Inventory Management. The transaction/event types are divided into groups of number ranges. A number range interval has to be defined for each group.
You cannot change the transaction/event types. However, you can change the number range intervals or you can allocate transaction/event types to new groups.
Caution: Change in the Fiscal Year
If, at the time of a fiscal year change, you reset the number range in the new fiscal year, separate number range intervals for the previous year and for the current year must be maintained for one month to allow postings to the prior period.
Example:
Interval for 1995: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900451234
Interval for 1996: 4900000000 to 4999999999 status: 4900000000
If only one number range interval exists for both years and you make any postings to the previous period, the system will assign numbers that already exist in the previous year. This would lead to an update termination.
In the standard system, the transaction/event types and number range intervals are preset for Inventory Management as follows:
Physical inventory documents
Number range interval from 0100000000 to 0199999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- IB Physical inventory documents
- ID Physical inventory documents for counts and differences
without reference
- IN Physical inventory documents for recounts
- IZ Physical inventory documents for count without reference
- WV Physical inventory documents for difference postings in the WM System
Material documents for goods movements and inventory differences
Number range interval from 4900000000 to 4999999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- WA Goods issues, transfer postings, other goods receipts
- WH Goods movements for handling units (HU)
- WI Material documents for inventory adjustment postings
- WL Goods issues for delivery documents (SD)
- WQ Goods movements for usage decisions (QM)
- WR Goods movements for completion confirmations (PP)
- WS Goods movements for run schedule headers (PP)
- WZ Documents for batch status changes
Material documents for goods receipts
Number range interval from 5000000000 to 5999999999
This group contains the following transaction/event types:
- WE Goods receipts for purchase orders
- WF Goods receipts for production orders
- WO Subsequent adjustment of subcontract orders
- WW Subsequent adjustment of active ingredient materials
Inventory sampling numbers
Number range interval from 0200000000 to 0299999999
This group contains the transaction/event type SI.
SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.
Note
For performance reasons, 10 document numbers are buffered on the application server. In this way, gaps in number assignment can occur.
Actions
Check whether you can use the predefined groups and number intervals.
If you want to change any groups, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
b) Select the transaction/event type that you want to re-allocate.
c) Place the cursor on the new group and choose Edit -> Assign element group).
d) Save your settings.
If you want to define new groups, proceed as follows:
a) Select Group -> Maintain.
b) Then select Group -> Insert.
c) Enter a text for the number range group.
d) Maintain the number interval for this number range group.
e) Allocate the transaction/event types to the number range groups (see step 2).
If you want to maintain new number range intervals for an existing group, proceed as follows:
a) Choose Group -> Maintain.
b) Select a group and choose Interval -> Maintain.
c) Choose Edit -> Insert year.
d) Maintain the number interval for the new fiscal year.
If you do not want to use the year-related number assignment method, enter 9999 in the field Year.
Note on transport
You transport number range objects as follows:
In the initial screen, choose Interval -> Transport.
Note that all intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at the time of export.
Dependent tables are not transported or converted.
Thanks and regards
Rajesh
