The external number range for Equipment master

Dear Experts,
My client has requirement to use KKS code as Equipment number as they want to create Notification and Maintenance order using the KKS code.
For example 10H, 10BEB, 20BHB04, 10LBG10AA001, 10HLA13AA001A, 10ETG10AN001-E etc.
All these KKS codes has different character length hence it's not fit in any number range.
can anyone suggest the external number range that I can use for above requirement?
Thanks.

Parag,
I have checked again. It is working correctly. Remember that the following setting the check box below the column A should be empty. This allows Alphanumeric characters in the numbers.
SPRO Path to above setting
My Equipment category of External Numbers is 'A'.

Alphnumeric External Number range for Equipment category

Hi,
Is there any other option that I can restrict length of external alpha numeric number range except that exit IEQM0003? This exit only applicable or restrict when you save the equipment.
Requirement is like external number range should be like AAA-000 to ZZZ-999. System must not allowed any other equipment number which is out of this range. ( must be 7 character)
As far as my understanding , system use string comparison once you use alphanumeric number range and you can create equipment with 18 char length except special character if above range is maintained.
Please correct me if i am wrong and suggest.
Thanks
Anish Ahya

Hi Zenith,
Its not available in Standard SAP, please use the user exit and tell the ABAPER to check the Equipment numbering (count) before entering into Creation screen. In IE01,entering equipment Number, Category and date after completion of this activity when we enter continue icon there u can put a condition to check the length of equipment number. I implemented that user exit and i got the result. its working fine. User Exit: IEQM0003.

External Number Rane for Equipment using Serialization

Hi All,
I have following requirement.
I need to give the external number range to equipment, at the same time this equipment is serialized. How can it be achieved?
Description: Materials are purchased and at the time of GR material is serialized. I dont want to use the internal number range for equipment, so I am not using equipment number range creation at the time of GR.
Also I can't use the change serial number & activate equipment funcationality. ie. IQ02. (Beacuse here again internal number range for equipment is used)
Sundar

Hi Pete,
I can use the external number range at the GR/GI if material serial number and equiment numbers are synchronus.
But in our case both serial number and equipment number are different.
How can I achieve external number range for equipment for the material and serial number which are already in store. I have to activate the equipement view after the GR for same serial number....OR.....I have to create the equipment seperatly with external number range with same serial number which is available in store.

External number range for service items?

I want to create Purchase order with services using BAPI. Is it possible to set external number range for the extrow / introw, so that if I need to change a service line item, I will be able to find out which service item needs to be changed.

It depends on whether you have a service master or not.
1. If you have service master, then there will be a service number (just like a material number). You can use that identify which one has to be deleted.
2. If NOT, then they would still send the text for the Service lines (I guess this will be unique for each line item). So, you will have to identify the line to be deleted by that.
Makes sense?
A question - You are saying you will get information to update the PO, but how does the system know which PO to be updated, how are you going to identify which PO needs to be changed?

Ravi

External number range for measuring point

Hi experts,
How to assign external number range for measuring point ?
Regards
Shashi

I have just checked and the measurement point number is linked directly with tthe object for eaxample equipment and when I tried this I got the same result the system defaults the number based ont he internal number range.
This being the case what is the business requirement that you need to use external numbering as this may help and someone may be able to assist either with an answer to the problem or an alternative solution.
SAP documentation as follows:
Create Number Ranges for Measuring Points
In this step you define number ranges for measuring points.
Notes
As the numbers for measuring points are assigned internally, you should work with the standard settings. If you want to make changes, you should always use number range 01.

Change from Internal to External Number range for customer account group

Hi,
We would like to change the number range assignment for a customer account group from internal to external. The external number range assignment check box is greyed out as a few numbers in the range have already been used up. We want to do the internal to external assignemnt change, create a customer of a specific number, and revert the range back to internal assignment. Is this possible?
Appreciate your help.
Ram

Hi,
Please do the below steps:-
(1) Go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain status" button. Note down the current status and change the status to zero. Save.
(2) Again go to SDN1 and click on "Maintain No. Range" button, and change the no. range to external. Save. (if that number range is maintained for multiple years, then make it external for the first yer and for the subsequent years, it will become automatically.)
(3) Then create your customer with specific number.
(4) Then go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain No. Range" button, and change the no. range to internal. Save. (if that number range is maintained for multiple years, then make it internal for the first yer and for the subsequent years, it will become automatically.)
(5) Again go to XDN1 and click on "Maintain status" button. Maintain the current status as the number noted down in step (1) above. Save. (In case number created in step (4) is greater than the number notes in step (1), maintain the number of step (4) in current status.)

External Number Range for Invoice

Hi All,
If we use USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE - RV60AFZZ to specify external number then can we enter alpha-numeric or only numeric value.
regards
Debasish

Debasish,
Few things a wish to suggest you,
1. SAP always says try to avoid External number ranges for invoices, as it has legal as well as technical compliances.
2. By using user exit, even though you will enter the external numbers but in case of several and multi user systems there may be chances of inconsistencies.
Anyway if you have decided to do this then Yes its possible you can use Alphanumeric numbers also
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Felix
I think the similar requirement is in Venezuela also.
So pl. check the SAP Note 849438 . As per the note :-
The solution is delivered in the indicated support packages. In case you can not implement the correspondin support package for your release immediately, please follow the procedure described below:
1. In the Data Dictionary Editor (transaction SE11) please open the definition of domain J_1AOFFNREL, go to the fixed values and add value 'P' with description 'Number Assingment using Prenumbered Forms' in a position so that the possible values remain sorted alphabetically.
2. In the Message Editor (transaction SE91) please go to message class ICC_CN and add the new message 837 with text '&1: Official doc. numbering is not available for delivery documents!'.
3. If you are implementing the note in release 4.6C, please create the following function modules:
o     OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_ASSIGN_VE in function group FIN2, and then copy the interface (all parameters and exceptions) of the function module OFF_NUMBER_LOCAL_ASSIGN_TW

After the installation of the corresponding support package the customizing node for Venezuela can be used.
1. Enable the use of business place for country Venezuela as described in the OSS Note 726537.
2. Define the necessary document classes and configure the document types you would like to get an official document number as relevant for official document numbering in the desired mode. Please check the OSS Note 571376 for some explanations about the meaning of the different settings.
3. Define the necessary number ranges and intervals and assign them to the combination of company code, business place, document class and validity period. If you use the customizing activity for Taiwan, then please leave the prefix field empty.

EXTERNAL NUMBER RANGE FOR INVOICES

Dear Gurus,
Plz tell me how do we put external number range for billing documents.
this option is not there in VOFA.

Hi Anil,
Hi,
Number Ranges are maintained in T.Code: SM30.
Provide the Table/ View, say Bill_Num for example.
In Tab: Restrict data Range, Click Radio button: No restrictions and Click Tab: Maintain.
In new window, maintain all the combinations for Columns: Sales Org, dist. Channel & Bill type and no values in IntNR.
Save the data.
I hope this will work.
Regards,
Amit
