SAP internal number series gaps

Dear All
I am creating service notifications to resolve complaints of our customers. We are using this notification from last 2 years but it happens now that i have seen number series gaps in Notification numbers. We are using internal number range which assign unique notification number internally with a sequence. But now it started creating gaps for example last notification i saved was 300046560 and after that when i save next notification it is 300046568. from 560 to 568 are missing and they wont remain unused. System will assign these numbers later on in the same date or might be in next date.
It is creating miss understandings for our customers and our service team.
Please suggest any solution that why it started now and how can i stop this disturbance.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Check note 504875 where explains how to de-activate the number buffering so that is possible to have a continuous numbering.
Kind regards,
Bruno

Internal number creation in IDOC

hi friends,
if i use idoc/bapi for material upload.will that create material number internally.is it possible
thanks in advance

raj

Hi Raj!
You can't use internal number assignment directly. Either you fill your numbers in the input file or you can use a separate function module to use SAPs internal number assignment. Use BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBERRET for Retail materials (MM41) or BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBER for standard materials (MM01).

SAP Message No-KL 294 Network Activity with invalid Internal Number

Hi,
I am getting System Error:NETWORK ACTIVITY WITH INVALID INTERNAL NUMBER" while doing MIGO.
I have checked network activity assigned to PO is exist but this shows some internal Number "Plan no.f.oper." which does not exist.
Please let me know how should i solve this error.
thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil.
Did you get any response from SAP?
I have as similar or maybe the same problem.
And I found out:
When I create the purchase request out of the Project-Builder (CJ20n) - SAP seems to lose the entry of the field 'AUFPL' in the table 'EBKN'.
In these rare cases (this problem is only in about 2-3 % of our purchase requests) the network elements still exist - so they are not deleted or something like that.
I created a routine, in which I read the entry of 'AUFPL' with the corresponding network number out of table 'EBKN' as key, to correct these wrong purchase requests.
But I didn't find the reason for the problem, yet.
Every advice would be great,.
Best regards,
Marc

Error in SAP HCM OM No valid interval found (internal number assignment)

Hi Experts,
I am facing a typical problem. When ever I am trying to create any OM Object from any transaction say PO10,PO13,PO12 what ever the system is giving an error "No valid interval found (internal number assignment". I have check every thing i.e. Number Range, PLOGI PLOGI in T77S0 but the situation remains same. It seems any how the system is not at all picking up any number range at all. Please suggest.
Samrat Sarkar

Hi Samrat
Reading the above posts I think you are trying to create the number range as "01S". The reason that you may not be allowed to create a number range is because your plan version might be different.
Check the below node to see what is set as your active plan version:
Personnel Management --> Global Settings in Personnel Management --> Plan Version Maintenance --> Set Active Plan Version
Then while creating your number range subgroup you would have to create as PlanVersionObject type:
Example: Number assignment for plan version 10 / object type S then Subgroup 10S
Try this out.

Numbers skipped while creating a new position (Internal number range)

Hello,
We have internal number range set up starting with 20000001 in PROD for Positions under OM.
The last number used for position was 20000693. But while creating a new position, the end user got the new number as 20000705. I checked the t-code OONR and it shows the current number as 20000729.
I have no idea why the numbers got skipped. Can anyone please let me know why this could have happened and how to correct it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Donnie,
The solution suggested by SAP lies in the SAP OSS Note 87865 - Buffering number ranges for personnel planning.
Which says -
''During buffering of number ranges, gaps can result during number assignment. If you require a continuous number assignment, you must deactivate the buffering for the number range object 'RP_PLAN' in Transaction SNRO.
However, this can affect the performance during numberassignment.''
So the only way to get continuous number range assignment, the buffering option needs to be set to 'No Buffering'. But it can affect system performance and is considered a modification. So we decided to go ahead with the buffering option set in the standard configuration and not to deactivate the buffering for the number range objects.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Madhu

Subject changed to reflect the issue- by: Jürgen L

Hi
The error is probably caused because T161-NUMKI = <BLANK>. Please fill in the valid T161-NUMKI.
This needs to be done in customising

Hope this information is of help.

Create vendor in ERP R/3 with internal number range

HI,
When I create a new vendor from MDM in R/3 with internal number range ADRMAS is processed OK but CREMDM is in status 51 because of missing address data.
According to sap note 1052964 (se below) ADRMAS must be the first IDOC and it should contain the vendor number, but this is not possible with internal number range. How do you overcome this problem and how do I get the vendor number back to MDM?
ALE inbound needs the customer / vendor account number within the ADRMAS IDoc to link the ADRMAS IDoc to the follwing DEBMAS / CREMAS IDoc correctly. Therefore field <OBJ_ID> in ADRMAS segment <E1ADRMAS> must contain exactly the same value as fields <KUNNR> / <LIFNR> in the corresponding DEBMAS / CREMAS IDoc. If this value is not provided, the Business Address Service stores the address but is unable to link the address later on to the corresponding Customer / Vendor.
Kind regards
Jonna

We have worked around these problems in the past. These are the steps we took:
1. We created a custom program to process a CREMDM IDOC. This custom program was pretty simple. It called the function module to process a CREMAS IDOC (IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR) then did a committ. The program captured the vendor number and then called the function module (IDOC_INPUT_ADRMAS) that processes an ADRMAS IDOC (It plugged in the previously captured Vendor number in the ADRMAS).
2. Using this custom program, it is not necessary in PI to split the CREMDM into a CREMAS and an ADRMAS.
3. The last step in the custom program kicked off transaction MDMV to trigger an outbound CREMDM IDOC back to MDM. This was necessary to update the vendor number in MDM.

Internal Number Range in Vendor Master(XK01)

Dear Gurus,
During the Initial upload of vendor master in SAP the vendor codes around 3000 vendors were uploaded with an External Number range between 1000000 to 1999999 with an defined group. Now i want to deactivate the External Number range and move on to internal Number range.

Hi Siddarth Poste,
In OMSJ T- code you can give the vendor no range as internal or external

Vendor Creation (Internal Number Range)

Hi,
My client was creating a new Vendor. The same has an internal number range.
However, the last vendor created was 110016...... while creating a new vendor, the system assigned vendor 110020 as the next internal number, instead of 110017 to be assigned.
Kindly assist as to why has this happened and where can i check the same?

Thanks.......
However that number range has not been assigned to other vendor group....
Also, I have heard of number range buffering in SAP......What is that? How it works? Is there any T Code to check this buffering or any additional configuration is required?
Kindly assist on the same........

Gangadhar reddy

Hi Gangadhar,
after 4.6C the Internal Number Range was changed into external Number Range due to technical requirements.
As the error messages due to posting manual into the affected number ranges could not be hindered in this case with ERP2005 the desicion was made to rechange to internal number range. Note 890976 describe what to do here.

Assingment of Internal Number Range to different type of Maintenance Order

Hi..
      We are implementing SAP Plant Maintenance. We have created 10 order type. We want to assign 10 number ranges to the order types. During "Configuring of Number Range" t.code OION , when I am inserting new groups for all 10 type of order, it is not accepting by the group name. Number range which i am giving to the desired group is saved in other groups.
       Can anybody help to adopt the right process sothat I can assign the correct internal number range to different order types.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
TP

Hi Pramod,
               Please follow the procedure mentioned below:
              Configure number ranges.
              1. In the menu bar go to Group & Insert
              2. Enter the Text & the interval i.e number range.
              3. Now add the new group using the symbol ( + )
              4. once this is done the new group will be reflected.
              5. Then select the element ( order type) i.e to be assigned using F2 key.
              6. Enable the check box against the new group ( respective group)
              7. Now in the menu bar press Element/Group tab ( or Use F5 key)
              8. The selected element(order type) will be assigned to the particular group that you have
                  selected.
              Hope this will help you resolve the problem.

Internal number assignment for object AUFTRAG

Hello,
Previously with SAP PM module we had configured the maintenance work order number range for internal assignment to a narrow range of numbers i.e. 12000000 to 12999999.
Following rolling out the functionality to other sites, we required to extend the internal number range (to accomodate the volume to be produced) and have updated this in configuration i.e. 300,000,000,000 to 399,999,999,999.
We are now experiencing an information message each time we Save a new maintenance work order;
Internal number assignment for object AUFTRAG (numbers are in critical area)
Message no. RU 153
When the user clicks Enter to continue a warning message is also displayed on the status bar;
Number XXXXXX for order type XXX within critical area
Message no. CO 395
However, we have investigated this and the work orders are creating normally after this. We have created in the system, the work orders with the prevous number range and also hunders of work orders with the new number range, we do not appear to be experiencing our buffer.
I have check the settings in SNRO config setting. The settings appear as standard with a warning buffer of 5% and the No. of numbers in buffer = 20.
Please can anyone advise how to remove this information message or how to update the system to resolve.
Regards,
Hayley

The message is given by the number range function, according to the configuration of field percentage. You have entered 5% - which means when you reach within 5% of the end of the numbers, you should get the warning. Your range is 300,000,000,000 to 399,999,999,999 My calculation that you should get the warning around 395,000,000,000
I suspect that the issue is linked to buffering of the numbers. Is it resolved??

"Format of external NF number/series is wrong"
Can anyone please tell me where this format is defined??
Many thanks...

Hello,
This issue is related to the localization Brazil process. I know that exists some SAP notes to similar issues. But I'd recommend you to check the SPED & NFe forum in the SDN portal.
They can advise you better in this area since it's not related to FI.
