Number ranges skipping for travel expenses

Hi,
What could be the reason for missing numbers in the expense notes document range?
Sometimes the gap between 2 numbers is 10.
Thank you fro giving your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
I have the solution:
SAP reserves a buffer for the document numbers.
Tcode SNRO - object RP_REINR.
If the application server shuts down, the numbers which are in the buffer (not assigned numbers) are lost.
This explains gaps in the number range.
The buffer can be removed, but this could influence the performance.
Kind regards,
Linda

SAP buffer for Customer Account Group (number range skipping)

Dear Experts,
When creating new customer for Account Grp = TRDL for my company, I find out that the number range always skip and this problem continues. Someone told me to check it out if the problem might comes from buffer. In Tcode = SNRO (Object = DEBITOR) I find out that buffer setting = 5.
The Question is how can I check if this buffer rate is compatible with my SAP environment? or which rate is more compatible and help solve the problem of number range skipping?
If anybody have some suggestion please feel free to contribute it.
Thank you very much

Hi,
in SNRO, take out the flag for
"Main memory buffering".
SAP recommends:
Dependencies
When buffering number intervals, gaps may result in number assignment. Buffering is therefore not possible for applications, which require continuous number assignment.
What happens is that the system loads consecutive numbers into the buffer, in your case these are five consecutive numbers. When you create customers and do not use all the numbers already in the buffer, the numbers remain open. Example: You start XK01 for customer creation, create three customers and then logoff. You have two open numbers remaining. Numerical example: 1, 2, 3 have been used, 4 and 5 have been reserved, but are open.
When invoking XK01 again after subsequent log-on, the system pulls the next five numbers into the buffer. Since 1,2,3,4,5 were already taken (for the previous buffer), the next buffer goes from 6 to 10.
Numbers 4 and 5 will never be used, the practical consequence of that are the number gaps that you have noticed.
Hope this helps.

Inspection lot number ranges skipping

My inspection lot number ranges are skipping, those are std number ranges like 01 origin, 04 origin etc, what could be the reason for that.
Inspn lots are getting generated and I took UD also. But certain numbers in the range got skipped.
Eg:- Incoming inspn lot 010000000041 then it comes 010000000045
Lot numbers 01/42, 01/43, 01/44 does not exist in sytem.
Please suggest a way out
Thanks

Craig,
But expert suggestion says, not to switch off buffer thru SNRO as it may affect fuctionality as you said early in this discussion.
But I believe, this is to be relooked by SAP as number range skipping is not good (My case its skipping 5-7 numbers at a time). But I am not convinced with the reply from SAP also.
Anyway thanks to you craig for your advice.
SAP Note on this matter for reference of all. Thanks
================================
Note: 62077
Summary
Symptom
Gaps (jumps) occur when allocating internal numbers.
The status of the number range interval does not match the number that was last assigned.
The number assignment does not reflect the insert sequence.
IMPORTANT: Read Notes 504875 and 678501.
Other terms
Document number, number range, number range object, buffering, current number level, trip number assignment, number interval, CO document, CO actual posting, inspection lot, material document, physical inventory document, production order number, planned order number, process order number, maintenance order number

Reason and Prerequisites
A large number of number range objects are buffered. When the system buffers a number range object, it does not update numbers individually in the database but reserves a preset group of numbers (depending on the number range object) in the database the first time a number is requested, and makes these numbers available to the application server in question. The following numbers can then be taken directly from the application server buffer. New numbers are not used in the database until the application server buffer has been used up.
The effects described under "Symptom" are a direct consequence of this:
If an application server is shut down, the numbers that are left in the buffer (that is, that are not yet assigned) are lost. As a result, there are gaps in the number assignment.
The status of the number range interval reflects the next free number that has not yet been transferred to an application server for intermediate buffering. The current number level therefore does not display the number of the "next" object.
The current number level (for each server) can be displayed using Transaction SM56. Call transaction SM56 and choose the menu 'Goto' -> 'Entries'. In the dialog box, enter the client, the affected number range object (for example, RK_BELEG) and possibly the required subobject (corresponds to the controlling area for the object RK_BELEG).
If you use several application servers, the numerical sequence will not reflect the (chronological) insert sequence because the numbers are buffered separately on the individual hosts.
Buffering the number range objects has a positive effect on performance, because the system no longer has to access the database (number range table NRIV) for each posting. Furthermore, a serialization of this table (database locking) is prevented to a large extent so that posting procedures can be carried out in parallel.
Solution
Since number range buffering does not cause any expressly assured qualities to be lost, no correction is required.
If you still require continuous allocation, you can deactivate the number range buffering specifically for individual objects.
Proceed as follows:
- Start Transaction SNRO and enter the affected object.
- Choose 'Change'.
- Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
- If you want to change the buffer size only, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
- Save the changes.
Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered - in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import a release.
In particular, read Note 678501, bearing in mind that changing the buffering type - if not explicitly recommended by SAP - constitutes a modification. For other possible solutions, refer to the following notes:
179224, 599157 and 840901.
For the the following number range objects, gaps may cause users to have doubts since they are 'expecting' a sequential numbering:
Area CO:
- RK_BELEG   (CO Document)
CAUTION: Note that the problems described in Notes 20965 and 29030 may occur if you deactivate buffering.
- COPA_IST (Document number in actual posting)
- COPA_PLAN (Document number in planned posting)
- COPA_OBJ   (Profitability segment number)
Area FI:
- DEBITOR    (Customer master data)
- KREDITOR   (Vendor master data)
Area HR:
- RP_REINR (Trip numbers)
Area PM, PP, PS
- AUFTRAG    (Order number, production, process, maintenance order, network number)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
Area MM:
- MATBELEG   (Material documents)
- MATERIALNR (Material master)
Area QM:
- QLOSE      (Inspection lots in QM)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
- QMERK      (Confirmation number)
- QMERKMALE (Master inspection characteristics in QSS)
- QMERKRUECK (Confirmation number of an inspection characteristic in QM results processing)
- QMETHODEN (Inspection methods in QM)
- ROUTING_Q (Number ranges for inspection plans)
- QCONTROLCH (Quality control chart)
Area Workflow:
- EDIDOC     (IDocs)
Number range buffering can be activated or deactivated at any time.
Number range objects that have to be continuous due to legal specifications (for example, RF_BELEG, RV_BELEG), or due to a corresponding application logic must not be buffered using the buffering type 'Main memory buffering'. See also Notes 37844 (for RF_BELEG) and 23835 (for RV_BELEG).

Adobe Interactive Forms - for Travel Expense Booking

Hi:
We are implementing Adobe Interactive Forms for Travel Expense Booking integrated with Portal (where user would download the form from portal locally to work offline and then upload it later when connected).
For the form to function properly, our consultants has asked to make following changes in the Adobe Reader settings on user machine:
1. Under Edit -> Preferences -> Internet -> Check "Display PDF in browser"
2. Under Edit -> Preferences -> JavaScript -> Check "Enable Acrobat JavaScript"
3. Under Edit -> Prefenences -> Security (enhanced) -> Uncheck "Enable Enhanced Security"
All the above three changes are opposite to our current settings. And our IT group is seeing a major secutity threat to company network on making the above changes.
I wanted to check how other companies with Adobe implementation are handling the above changes? Is there any work around to these changes?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rahul

you have to get really creative when trying to dynamically control the form without javascript / formcalc.
One of my little secrets (you owe me big points here) is that I prepare my output in a series of tables when possible.
For instance, in SAP i'll fill an internal table with
Customer | Sales Order Number
12345 | 80002038
Date | 09/15/2011
Special Instructions | Deliver around back
something like this... then I drop this table where I need it. However, if there are no special instructions, I simply do not fill that info out in my internal table. This has the effect of "hiding" the field.

Number range skipping & getting reassigned

Hello All,
I am getting a situation where the number ranges are getting skipped & then later the skipped number ranges are getting assigned again to new documents. This is happening for excise documents, customer master & material number. When i checked the number range objects in SNRO, there is no buffer assigned. What is confusing to me is that the number ranges once skipped should not get re-assigned to new documents.
request you to please give your expert comments on this issue. Thanks in advance.

You may need to refer OSS 1817764 - Number range skip in Customer / Vendor Master Data
and 1646025 - Material number skipping while creating material in transaction MM01

Mass deletion of document number ranges intervals for several company codes

Dear experts,
We are running version ECC6 and are about to go-live a lot of company codes simultaneously. We would like to delete satndard number ranges intervals for these company codes.
Is there a way to delete the number ranges intervals (which have not been used) for several company codes at the same time ? I'm looking for a transaction or a program similar to OBH1 (used for the creation of number ranges ).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Steven

Hi
I am also not aware of such T.code to delete number ranges for a company code.
Alternatively, you can go to FBN1 in change intervals mode.
From the Menu Select all and Press Shift + F2 (Delete interval).
Ofcourse, this have to be done individually for each co. code.

Two bank accounts for travel expenses

Dear all.
We would like to have two bank accounts for the travel expenses for one employee.
For example:
$ 500.00 of the Travel Expenses should go to bank account 12345
The remaining amount of the Travel Expenses should go to bank account 67890
I can enter one bank account in Infotype 0009 for Travel expenses, but it seems the field u201CStandard valueu201D doesnu2019t work for subtype u201CTravel Expensesu201D.
SAP creates only one payment with transaction PRDX.
Does someone know if itu2019s possible to create to payments for one employee?
Thanks.
Edited by: Fluff on Feb 14, 2012 10:22 AM

It is the case that PRDX is designed to take the valid IT009 account defined at system date - see here:
The bank data is read with the TRMAC Makro rp-provide-from-last:
        rp_provide_from_last p0009 '2   ' sy-datum sy-datum.
        IF pnp-sw-found NE '1'.
          rp_provide_from_last p0009 '0   ' sy-datum sy-datum.
PRDX is designed to handle only one account (note 90320 gives more info)

Travel management-- Control Parameters for Travel Expenses-- Define global

We have setup provision variants for:
India, UAE, Africa (since travel expenses in these countries need to be settled in the local currency).
For each of the above variants, we have done the following settings in IMG node:
Travel management-->Control Parameters for Travel Expenses --> Define global setting
I have selected the respective country for the "Country grouping" field. i.e. for India Variant, it is set to India and similarly for UAE etc.
Is this correct? What is the impact if in India variant this field ("Country grouping) is set to UAE?

hi
the settings which you set is right.
you will have inconsistency between the settings you made in the other areas.

Facing problem in Number Range Allocation for Objects in OM

Hello Friends,
I have couple of questions in setting number range for Objects OM :
1) Can we set one single number range for the objects in all planned versions or do we need to set different number ranges for varous planned versions?
2) If we are already using existing Internal Number Range in $$$$ for Objects in OM, how do we set number range External Number range to use it for forthcoming object creation?
3) If we set the External Number Range, will the system use the set num range combinedly for all object types or individually for each object type (Ex: If we have an external num range 100~200, then while creating Org Unit the system may take 100 after that if we try to create another Org Unit the system may take 101 in seqeuence. After creating these two Org Units, if we try create an Position object will the system start allocating the number from 102 or will it again start from 100)
4) Can we default number ranges for various Object Types Planned version wise? If YES, what feature is used to default this number range?
Regards
Tharak

Hi,
For 1). Yes you can set number ranges for all plan versions.
2. You can devide like this.
IN - 00000001 to 49999999
EX - 50000000 to 99999999 - EXT.
3. In my view it is applicable to all Objects.
4. Don't know.
Reward me if helps.

Event for travel expense work flow "WS90000050"

Hi All ,
I am trying to configure standard travel request and travel expense application on ESS.
I am using two standard templates WS90000040 for Create travel request
and WS90000050 for Create Travel Expense.
But problem is that both workflows start with same event "REQUESTCREATED" of business object "BUS2089".
Since standard process says that once employee's travel request is approved then only he/she can apply for
Travel expense . But in this case both wf gets started through same event "REQUESTCREATED".
Is there any other event for create travel expense application ?
Thanks in advance
Abhay

Hi All,
The event that is triggered when travel expense is saved is CREATED.
