Vendor Master External Number range

Hi,
There is a single number range object for vendor account groups
you have suppose five different account groups
suppose
for LIEF i am using internal number range starting with 10..up to 10 digit
for Vedor i am using external say A to ZZZZ up to 10digit
Now i have a account group for which i want to use P1000 to P9999 (External)
when i do this system allows me to create vendor even if i put P100000 bcoz it also considers
the balance 5 blank spaces
I can not customize the object to use it up to only 5 places since other number ranges are using
10 digit i also tried to use P-1000 to P-9999 but no use
Anybody has solution on this,please advise
Best Regards
Diwakar

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your reply but client does not want to use it with
leading zeros
they want it like P1000 to P9999 Only
Please advise

Vendor Master Record number ranges

Hi,
We have one requirement . At present my client is maintaining the vendor master record number ranges with 4 digits. Ex. 0001 to 9999
His present requirement is that to maintain the number ranges with 4 digits .ex. 00001 to 99999. They want this should apply even to existing records. Ex: Old number 2345 , they want the present number should be 02345.
Request you to please help in resolving the issue. Thanks in advance for the help. Matter is urgent
Thanks
D.K.Lakshmi narayana

Hello Lakshmi,
It seems to me these are your alternatives.
1) For each old vendor in the 4-digit scheme, create a new vendor master record in the 5-digit scheme with the leading zero. Then, transfer all open documents/master records (invoices, purchase orders, info records, etc.) from the old vendor to the new vendor. Then, block the old vendor.
2) Same as previous except instead of changing all open documents, only change the master data (e.g., info records or long term contracts or agreements) to the new vendor master record and continue to use the old vendor master record until the open documents are closed. Then, block the old vendor master record.
I think option 2 will be the "safer" choice. Plus, for reporting, you will probably need to continue using both vendor numbers for a while.
Maybe someone else has an easier way...
Cheers,
Larry

Gaps in vendor master data number range

Hi, we have noticed there are sometimes gaps (missing numbers) in the internally issued vendor master data number range. Does anybody have any idea why this happens and how to avoid this?
Many Thanks for your answers!
Lucie

Hi Lucie,
This happens due to buffering of the number range in question. You can go to SNRO transaction (object KREDITOR) and change the buffering options (deactivate them, actually). Please, consult your ABAP team before doing this. For more info, see note 62077.

Material Master External Number Range problem

Material Master External Number Range that allows numerics only and combo of numerics, Alpha and Characters
I have the following issue. My client wants to use a purely External Numbering System in SAP
- They only use one Material Type (HALB).
The range must be able to manage material numbers that:
1. Are up to 18 CHAR
2. Have Leading Zero's(Numeric Only) - example 0123, 0000223, etc
3. Purely numeric (no zeros) - ex 56788, 1235456
4. Have Leading Zero's with (Alpha Numeric) - ex 00A456
5. Alpha numeric (No Zeros) ex T123542
6. Leading Zero's with a '.' in the Mat Number
Four examples
005.009.23
0000A.123.5544 M1
000.593.33234
0.1234
I have the Lexiographical Setting Checked
Leading Zero's Checked
Range is - 000000000000000000 to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The issue I have is with the last two examples in 6 above 'Leading zero's with a '.' in the Mat Number.
It seems the system has an issue with zero's then a decimal point without having another number of letter in between. It will allow 00000002.1223 but not 000000.1223. The only way I can get the system to take the leading zero then '.' entries is to check 'X' the 'External Number Assignment w/o Check in the Material Type HALB. When I do that I am no longer allowed to create purely numeric numbers. Any help?
Creating another material type is not an option. Also the '.' can be in any position in the layout.
Thanks in Advance!

ASCII and UNICODE values of period (.) are lower that 0.
Solution: Change your number range like this
From
Range is - 000000000000000000 to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
To
Range is - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
(replace zeroes with hyphen, because the value of hyphen is lower than period)

2 external number range for vendor

Hello,
I am facing a problem when I try to replicate vendor from R/3.
I have 2 external vendor number ranges maintained in SRM, But only the last created external number range is taken into account when i replicate vendors from R/3.
Please could you tell me how can I maintain 2 external number ranges in SRM?
This is very urgent, I need to replicate vendors from R/3.
SRM 4.0 Extended Classic scenario.
Regards,
Shaiek

Hi Lina
You will have to combine all number ranges in R/3 and create one number range in SRM, if you want to retain the R/3 numbers.
e.g. If your R/3 number ranges are
100000 - 200000
600000 - 699999
In SRM, you need 100000-699999 as the external number range.
At any point of time, you can make only one no. range as default in SRM.
Best regards

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'.

External number Range with leading zeros for Handling Units

Hi Experts
    My requirement is to use the External number for the Handling Units provided by vendor.That number starts with 2digits"00"+18 for Example:00123456789123456789
I am Using HU_VEKP Object for no range and maintaining
External No Range From 00000000000900000000 to 00000000000999999999.
But When i am giving Number 00000000000900000001 its only taking
900000001.
Kindly suggest me the right way to take leading zeros.
Rewards for answer sure if it works.

Hi Laksmipathi
                      I am maintaining the number range for External number range coz its vendor supplied HU.
           But the prefix zeros has meaning for identifying the Handling unit Functionality.In realtime IF prefix contains Say "0000" it refers to carton
If prefix contains say "0010" it refers to pallet.
           So i need to satisfy there requirement.For example If it is for material number we can maintain In OMSL by check box of leading zeros.
            But i am not able to find any setting for this Handling units.U can check this object HU_VEKP in SNRO tcode where i am maintaining Number range.
Thanks give suggestion

Bapi with external number range

i am using bapi_goodsmvt_create.i want to assign external number range.how it possible?

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 Int Orders

We want to define statistical internal orders employee-wise. For each employee, we want to define statistical internal orders with the same employee number for monitoring the low-valued assets given to them.
My query is can we have external number range assignment for intrnal order type for this purpose ?

Hi Niki
The common practice is to Define the IO as the Employee No with a prefix of E.. It helps you to search the IOs easily as E*
If the employee is also given a Mobile phone, Vehicle, laptop etc and you wanna track all of them and book all such relevant expenses in the same IO, then use exit COOPA003.. You can add Z fields in the IO Master for Mobile, Laptop No, Vehicle no etc
You can also ask your ABAP team to create a search help (F4 help) based on these fields so that you can search the IO based on mobile no etc
