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 material documents

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can anyone please advise if we can reset number range for material documents once it reached to last number for existing number range ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi,
    If material numbering  reached to last number for existing number range, you can create Number Range Text Group and assign to your material type in following path
    IMG -> Logistic ->General -> Material Master ->Basic Settings ->Material Type ->Define Number Range for each Material Type
    OR
    T.code:MMNR
    Lets example you have now:
    Number Range Text Group:01
    From Number:     1
    To Number     :19999999
    Now you can create Now One Number Range Text Group
    Number Range Text Group:02
    From Number:20000000
    To Number     :29999999
    Now assign Number Range Text Group to your material type in MMNR , {{by clicking group in menu, select maintaion->group->insert
    Number Range Text Group:02
    From Number:20000000
    To Number     :29999999
    and save}}.

  • "Alphanumeric" number ranges for material matser

    Hi all,
        What are the sequence of steps needed to create "Alphanumeric" number ranges for material matser. Can anyone explain me the steps.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    To add to what Sridhar has said ....we have got 2 number ranges only...
    either internal or extenal.....
    Better idea is to have internal only untill or unless it is at all required so.
    It all depends on material type....
    In internal it is more easy to maintain the ranges....but in case of extenal....lot more precaution is required.
    Award if any thing answer you query .
    Thanks

  • Number ranges for material document (migo) and inventory  documents

    Hi Gurus,
    We need a different number ranges for goods receipt documents  and inventory documents because we have different company merged in to one box.Can any body tell me on what basis we differenciate the number ranges how to configure it.
    If we take PO, we have different doc types and we assign number ranges to those documents. in case of Miro , it  is the single transaction code used by different companies and how to give different number ranges.
    Regards,
    Sri........

    Hi,
    I think number ranges of inventory documents are on client level not on company code wise . because even though  your creating new document and assigned different number ranges for the documents but  these while assigning  ranges to T codes (MIGO or MIRO) you dont have option like company codes ( tcode OMBA) so number ranges for inventory documents are at client level  not at company code level.

    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.

    What do you mean by same number range?
    As for as i know number ranges are application specific so you cannot have both SD and FI documents in a same number range.
    What you can do with userexits is to assign a number range based on a condition. For example Plant based Billing number range, even you cannot have same number range for Sales order and billing.

  • External number range for GR document

    Hello,
    1.  Is it technically possible to create external number range for GR document (material document) - Note, PO is also having ext number range
    2.  Is it adviseable to create ext num range for material docs?
    Thanks
    Regards

    hi,
    1. it is possible to create external number ranges for GR document.
    in spro config settings:  use transaction OMBT and in that enter a number range and check that external number range check box.
    2. it is not advisable to have external number range for material docs --> because for every movement of the material end user has to giva an entry for material document.
    hope this may help you,

  • Separate number ranges for GR against PO and GR against Production Order

    All SAP Gurus,
    Is it possible to have Separate number ranges (for Material Documents as well as for FI Documents) for GR against PO and for GR against Production Order?
    Regards,

    Hello Anusha,
    Basically you need to maintain the confirmation control key in the Info record or the vendor master in order get the option of doing an inbound delivery and not a rough GR. in info record in purchasing screen and also the same screen in vendor master.
    The above is a permanent setting for a vendor, if you want to do it temporarily, you need to go to the confirmations tab in PO item details and change the control key in there.
    I hope this is what you are looking for

  • Number ranges for PO and GRN

    Hi
    I wanted to define 3 plants in SAP. Can we have separate number ranges for Purchase order and GRN as plant specific. PLs let me know if it is possible through user exits. This number range i wanted to define year specific.
    I have searched for the user exits,but couldn't find any. Pls help

    Hi,
    Separate number ranges for Purchase order is possible if you have separate PO Document type which represents different procurement processes.
    As needed by you ,can control form basis side( by having authorization matrix) for specific PO creation with specific PO document type with a specific plant. For example:
    You have PO document types: NB, ZNB, YNB, FO,UB,ZSNB
    You have three plants... P101,  P102 and P103
    From basis side( by having authorization matrix) allow users to create
    1. To Create PO with ZNB ,YNB and ZNB PO types for Plant P101
    2. To Create PO with FO and ZSNB PO types for Plant P102
    3. To Create PO with UB  PO types for Plant P103
    Also you can configure PO number range W.R.T. Company Code by User Exit,check User Exit M06B0003 & M06B0004.
    For having number range for GR which is WE for year specific, check link:

  • Sync of Material document and accounting document during MIGO

    Hi Friends,
    Can we synchronize the Document numbers between Material document (WE) for GR (101) and Accounting documents created for the MIGO transaction????
    We have 50 is assigned to WE. But, we have a gap in numbers of Material document number and Accounting document numbers??? though the document type WE is common for both.
    I have seen that "Buffer" is the culprit. But, not sure how to fix that.
    Appreciate your help in this regard.
    Dev.

    When the document type is same (WE) for both, how come the accounting doc has continuous numbers and Material doc has breaks ( from buffer)????
    document type WE is same for GR for material document and accounting docu but number range are stored diffrentely.
    OMBT is where u store the number range for material document
    and this number range is assigned to group of materia doc we wf wo ww
    OMBA is where u create diffrent number range for accounting document hear U assign WE to ur transaction code and in turn WE is assigned a number range what is created in OMBA, this number range is nothing to do with number range u have created in OMBT.
    when ever u post the docunemt in system
    SAp hav efixed the document type for GR that is WE
    it goes in OMBA in the group of Material documents for goods receipts
    check what is the year and number range assigned and current number so it assignes this number first
    than it go to OMBA  cheks what is the Tcode u are using and what is document type u have assigned to that tcode and it can be any WE or what ever u have assigned to that tcode
    taking that doc type it goes and see what Number range is assigned say 50 and then checks company code and year for this 50 and get the number for accounting doc
    so i think its is clear that material and account are 2 diffrent ranges
    skiping of numbers might be due to buffer
    also go throught following post it will be helpfull
    GR NO SEQUENCE - MISMATCH
    hope this helps
