Overlapping Number Ranges

What is the overlapping of number ranges?When it could happen?
Regards, Deepika

Dear Deepika,
Overlapping number range means the repetation of new number range with existing number range for material master.
For ex. you have already created number range 1 to 1000 & assigned to a group,You are creating new number range interval starting from 501 to 1500 then this is overlapping range & system will not accept this overlapping range.
I hope you understood this.

Overlapping Number Ranges for GL Accounts - does this allow duplicates?

Hi there,.
I am just-trying to understand GL numbering ranges.
If I create two GL account groups with overlapping number ranges, what (if anything), is stopping me from creating two GL accounts with identical numbers.
When l try to do this in fs00 I get a message telling me that the account already exists in the company code. Surely having the concept of an account group with overlapping number ranges implies that the account group forms part of the GL account's unique key and therefore allows duplicate GL account numbers.
Or does overlapping mean the ranges ovelap but the GL account numbers have to be unique?
Confused
Gerald.

Hi,
Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can
be grouped into different account groups. Usually, one account group groups
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, for example, cash accounts,
material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss statement accounts, and so on.
By assigning a number range to an account group, you can ensure that accounts
of the same type are within the same number range. Number intervals for G/L
account master records can overlap.
You must enter the account group in the chart of accounts segment; it controls the
appearance of the company code segment of a G/L account. For example, for all
of your cash accounts, you want to be able to display all of the line items. In
Customizing, you therefore alter the field status for your Cash Accounts account
group to make line item display a required entry field.
Thanks

Hi
In table NRIV, give object name as RF_BELEG, Subobject value as company code. Sort entries in ascending order of "From number" and check the overlapping entry.
In FBN1 when you add interval use F4 for "from" field there you will be able to see non-overlapping entries and available options. If this doesn't help you to identity overlapping number range, then select any available number range, save. Then go to added number range try changing it there, when you try to save it there, it will display all overlapping entries.

Number range Issue for Business partners

In our Feeder system (SAP ECC), the number ranges are over lapped for customers and vendors.
For example Customer master record : 100245 is for ABC customer and Vendor Master record: 100245 is for XYZ vendor.
When these records were transferred from ECC to GTS, both were transferred. When searching for a business partner using external number 100245 in GTS it pulls out two records.
First question: Will this be an issue?
Second Question: Is there any way, we can transfer Vendors and Customers which can use different number ranges in GTS?
Please help.

Hi,
1. As soon as we consider only one feeder system overlapping number ranges is not an issue. one external number can be assigned to two internal ones as business partners are having different roles. One as customer and one as vendor.
2. It is not possible to be done with standard functionality as business partners have only one common number range. It would be possible to do a bit of a coding mainly renaming/renumbering within transfer user exit.
Hope this answers your questions,
BR,
Gabriel.

HU and SU number range

Hello,
If storage location is HU and WM managed ( SU management active), is it required that for the number range of HU simialr overlapping number range has to be maintained for SU (assigned to the warehouse)?

Hi,
you activate handling unit management independent from storage unit
management.
Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed the storage
unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU
numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other
and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

CRM Business Partner number ranges

Could anyone comment on the following:
"The number ranges for Employees, Vendors and Customers must be different <in the backend>.
In ECC, these 3 are saved in different tables and this allows them to have overlapped number ranges.
But the CRM design is differs. The three of them are saved as Business Partners in one single table. Therefore you need to design and customize the number ranges in order to avoid the overlapping between these 3 in CRM"

That is correct. All types of organisations, internal organisations, and persons are saved in one table in crm, BUT000 using the so called SAP Central Business Partner (which exists also in ERP, but is used only for the ISU solutions, not in standard ERP).
Therefore the number ranges for these objects need to be non-overlapping. However, one needs to evaluate first whether all the objects you mention are really needed. It is also possible to see the original R/3 number in the identification tab (or in table BUT0ID).

Object Number range "DEBITOR": NUMBER_GET_NEXT error overlaps

Hello,
I have an error with one of the number range belonging to the standard object "DEBITOR".
When we try to create a customer the system gives a old number already saved for another customer in database KNA1.
I know that this number range is buffered and we have gaps in number range used but
Why the system gives number already used?
For example: we have a rumber range from 5000000 to 5000199 and the last number used is 50000040.
When you create a new customer and the system runs the standard function NUMBER_GET_NEXT, it assigns the number 50000036.
Please, could you help me?
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Check whether the number ranges in question were initially made external and lateron were made to internal number range assignment.

Automatic update of number ranges in FBN1 is not getting processed

Automatic update of number ranges in FBN1 (current status) level is not getting processed.
Tried posting a customer payment document in the system though number ranges are maintained for the year 2015 the number ranges are not overlapped last year all documents are closed but still the numbers are not been picked automatically in FBN1 kindly help in this issue

Hello Rajesh
Please verify if number ranges are maintained correctly, verify same using transaction OBA7. Also ensure that external assignment is unchecked in FBN1. Share screenshots if possible.

Error during MIRO fpr number range .

Dear All ,
                                         Pl see the error below during Posting MIRO -->
In company code 1000, the number range 51 is missing for the year 2009
Message no. F5150
Diagnosis
The document type you specified has been allocated to a number range in fiscal year "2009" that has not been created.
Procedure
Check the configuration of the number range for the specified document type. Create this number range if it does not already exist or allocate a valid number range for the document type.
Note
Enter '9999' as the year if you want to use number ranges that are not dependent on a particular fiscal year. If you do this, the number range you allocate is then valid for the current and all following years.
If you want to use number ranges that are dependent on a fiscal year, you should create these manually for the years you require using the Copy by fiscal year function.
i m trying to maintain the same in FBN1 but an info displays as " Enter intevals without overlap "

Hai
Thats what i am saying change the before using inerval range
Ex : 51 2009   1    9999999999999
         Here u can reduce the above number range like 99999 then you will get free intervals
        Check it once............

Vendor number range issue in BUCF transaction

Hi,
We are implementing the SRM 5.0 with Extended Classic scenario. I my current SRM system is already connected with 3 SAP R/3 system and I am implementing and adding 4th SAP R/3 system.
I am having an issue to replicating the vendor master from 4th R/3 system to our SRM system due to wrong number ranges in BUCF transaction code.
Current Number Range in SRM systems are:-
01     0010000000            0014999999     10003009
AB     0001000000        0009999999                        X     --> (7 Digits)
My new vendor master from 4th R/3 system is:-
0080000001        to     0080029999    --> (8 Digits)
My new vendor master number range is overlapping with my internal number range 01. As we know that we cannot reduce the lower range of 01 from 0010000000 to 0000000001. Also I cannot increase the number AB higher value from 0009999999 to 0099999999.
Can you any one please suggest me to correct the number range?
Thanks,
Senthil

Hello Senthill,
The vendor replication to external number ranges works as follows:-
(1) Cross-Application Components SAP Business Partner > Business Partne
> Basic Settings > Number Ranges and Groupings > Define Number Ranges
Here you sould define an external number range which corresponds to
the R/3 numbers. You may want to have more than one external range
in order to replicate all vendors.
(2) Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Part
> Basic Settings > Number Ranges and Groupings > Define Groupings and
Assign Number Ranges
For each replication run, you can download the vendors which correspond
to the external number range / grouping which is marked as 'standard
external'.
So, you will have to replicate your vendors separately for each number
range:-
Select the correct grouping each time by marking 'Ext.Std Grping'
and then run BBPGETVD for the vendors to be assigned to this grouping.
As standard, the customized settings for the number ranges
would have to be changed for each run of BBPGETVD and BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
If you run the update or synchronization in combination with a
BADI the intervals could be taken into account.
The BADI is BBP_TRANSDATA_PREP
The methods are:-
Method: PREPARE_REPLICATION_DATA (intitial download)
Method: PREPARE_UPDATE_DATA (update)
Import data is stored in CT_LFA1 should be copied to an
internal table. There the required intervals can be determined.
This BADI is not assigned in the IMG but can be seen through SE18.
I hope this information is helpful.
Kind Regards,
Edel.

Document number range object

Hi
Please tell document number range object . T-code :FBN1
PLEASE URGENT
Thanks
Krishna

Hello
A number range must be assigned to each document type in the SAP System. Via the document types, you distinguish the postings according to the different business transactions, for example customer payment, vendor credit memo, and so on. To store documents separately according to document types, you must assign a separate number range to each document type, for example to invoices or to credit memos.
In the following activities:
You define your document number ranges.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one company code into another.
You can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another.
Define Document Number Ranges
In this IMG activity you create number ranges for documents. For each number range you specify (among other things):
a number interval from which document numbers are selected
the type of number assignment (internal or external)
You assign one or more document types to each number range. The number range becomes effective via the document type specified in document entry and posting.
You can use one number range for several document types. This means you can differentiate documents by document type but combine them again for filing the original documents, provided you store your original documents under the EDP document number.
Note
The type of number assignment is of special importance. For each document type you should check whether a separate number range must be used and which type of number assignment is most appropriate.
One example of a case where external number assignment would be suitable is when you transfer documents into your SAP system from a non-SAP system. The numbers must be unique. The number range is not displayed with external numbers. You must therefore ensure that you do not skip any numbers when entering numbers manually (for organizational reasons).
You should use internal number assignment if the original documents do not have a unique document number. This is the case, for example, with vendor invoices.
Number ranges for documents are company code-dependent. You must therefore create your number ranges for each company code in which the document type is used, namely with the same number range key.
The number intervals must not overlap. If you use year-dependent number ranges, you can specify the same interval with the same key several times for different to- fiscal years (the limit up to which a number range is still valid). If you want to define number ranges which are independent of the to-fiscal year, enter 9999 in the to- fiscal year field.
Caution
For sample documents, use a number range with key X2, for recurring entry documents with key X1. These keys may not be used for other number ranges.
Recommendation
Store your original documents (paper documents) under the EDP number of the SAP System. You should write the EDP document number on the original document. In this way, the original document for a business transaction can be found at any time.
Activities
1. Determine how document filing is to be carried out in your company codes.
2. Define your number ranges accordingly.
3. Make sure that the number ranges are assigned to the corresponding document types.
Copy to Company Code
In this activity, you can copy intervals of document number ranges from one company code to other company codes. To do this, you have to store the following information:
Intervals which are copied
To fiscal year(s) (validity limit up until which the number range is valid)
Company code from which you copy (source company code)
Company code(s) into which you copy (target company code(s))
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the number ranges.
Note
The number ranges are only copied into a target company code if no number ranges exist there within the selected "To fiscal year" interval.
Notes on transporting
The documentation for the step "Define document number ranges" describes how to transport document number ranges.
Copy to Fiscal Year
In this activity, you can determine which intervals of document number ranges are to be copied from one fiscal year into another per company code. To do this, you have to define the following information:
Company code(s) within which you copy
Number range number(s) which are copied
Fiscal year from which you copy (source fiscal year)
Fiscal year into which you copy (target fiscal year)
Activities
Make all necessary specifications for copying the fiscal years.
Note
The number ranges are only copied per company code into the target fiscal year if no intervals exist there for this fiscal year.

Document Number range restart

Dear Experts,
Our FY is from Jan-Dec. therefore, we will be starting New FY Jan 2010.
Please help me and let me please know, whether to start a New FY with restarting FI document number range.
I check in SPRO settings for most of the document number range interval ID the year against it, is mentioned as 9999.
is it fine if i copy FY 9999 to FY 2010, i hope it will not overlap while posting any documents.
please help me.

Hi,
    The Year is always a TO-Year.
What you should have done is either:-(While no one else in the system to avoid inconsistencies)
    a) Create a new line with Year 2009 and the current values of 9999, then set 9999 to initial values.
         This way the numbering is reset to initial from 2010 onwards, and old year postings continue to use the non-initial range.
or b) New Line 2009 like above, delete 9999 entry. Then before each year starts run the above mentioned copy year function.
         This way each year will start initial.
Kind regards

Reg: Vendor Account Group Number Range

Hi Guru's,
I have created 3 Account groups for vendor -
MV- Material Vendor , SV - Service Vendor , Ov - One Time Vendor
And i need to number range (external) like this for MV- MV10000 to MV19999 and SV - SV10000 to SV19999
i tried by XKN1 but the system says Enter the intervals without overlap .
Guide me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Anand

Hi
Thanks for your solution.. It means my intervals falls under a to zzzz.
i have a query A to ZZZZZ is alphanumeric or alphabetic?
Can we set the range only as alphabetic .. that is no numeric is allowed .

Xkn1 creation of vendor number range doubt

hi
In xkn1 vendor number range,
I want to insert the interval, as 02 10000 to 30000
when I try to save or insert , it is not saving,
A popup as "enter intervals without overlap "
if i try to change it to 2 or 20: its not accepting it, a message popups as existing number,
how to come ovr this problem,
before inserting number range, should we enter company code , please help me.
warm regards.

The reason you are getting that error message is that, that number interval is already used by another number range. Check the existing number ranges and choose an interval that is not used yet. Or you can assign an existing number range to the vendor group that you have created if that range satisfies your requirements.
