Vendor Number Range relation with account group.

Dear All,
I have one more doubt. Kindly clarify.
I know that account group and vendor number range and linked with each other. Number range can be assigned to one or many account groups. Let's consider a case where 3 Account groups (assume X,Y & Z) have one common number range. When we create a vendor, in an account group (for example, X) vendor code assigned internally is 100000.
Subsequently if we create another vendor in the account group Y, will the vendor code assigned intenally be, "100001", considering intervals to be of 1 or any other number falling in the number range assigned to this account group?
Does there lie any rule or method which assign the code in this manner or any other...?
EnjoySAP,
Thanks

Hi,
When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number comes from the number range provided for the account group.
Internal number assignment
Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined, irrespective of any number of account groups attached to which the number range has been assigned.

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.)

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

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

Having Two GR/IR account based on Vendor Number Ranges.

Dears,
Requirement of our client is to maintain Two GR/IR accounts based on Vendor number Ranges. I explained, as per standard functionality of SAP we can not have 2 GR/IR accounts based on vendor number ranges since system is checking the valuation class of Material but we can have 2 GR/IR accounts based on the Materials.
Please suggest me if there is any possiblity of having the above scenario so that I can add more points.
Thanks,
Omprakash

Hi Shahin,
You can do this using,
Material master QM view : Set the control for inspection lot creation as each material document,batch, storage location.
Inspection plan: Use the dynamic modification at characteristics level.
DMR: Create a DMR(lets say every 5 deliveries, assuming PO delivered in 5 delieveries) and assign it to each and every characteristics which you want to skip.
Please let me know whether it helps.

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.

Vendor Number Range Assignment

Hi All,
I have a question... when we create a vendor using XK01 it automatically takes the system generated Vendor number, can you please tell me how can I manually enter a vendor number for a particular vendor. Also is there a way if we can keep both the ways working i.e. we should have a capability to create a vendor using the system generated number and at the same time we should also have a capability to do it manually also.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Raj

Hi
Which number can be assigned to a vendor depends on Account Group.
In customizing it's assigned for every Account Group if the range is internal or external.
So if u need to have vendor with an external range u need to define a new account group.
I don't think it's possible to use both kind of range for vendor belonging to the same account group, but in your system u can have account groups with external or internal range.

Missing Vendor Number Range

Dear Expert,
By mistake while uploading FI Vendor master to system we had given the Vendor Number in the template.
The vendor number range is maintained as internal.
All the vendor was updated and it is showing also.
But when in system we try to create new vendor it is showing account already exists.
We checked the number range the current Number is still zero.
Is there any program or any method that we can bring this current status sync with existing vendor master we had uploaded into the system.

Hi,
check T-code XKN1, tick "status", update the current number to the needed one.
Best regards, Christian

I want help from Experts how to create last two scenarios in RE? What configuration is need?
What is Tcode to create only customer?????
Thanks in Advance...
Manzoor

Hi,
Goto SPRO\Cross-applications components\master data synchronization\synchronization control
check whether is it activated from cutomer --> BP
And also check the following setting
Goto SPRO\Cross-applications components\master data synchronization\customer&vendor integration\business partiner settings\settings for customer intration\define BP role for direction customer to BP
might be it will give some solution to your 2nd problam and finall fir 3rd issue you can use XD01 to create customer and don't assign these account groups in "Define BP role for direction customer to BP"

Gaps in vendor number range

Hi SAP Gurus,
I need your help in understanding the gaps in vendor number range,
I have created an internal number range for a vendor account group and created many vendor for the same.
However when I see the sequence of the vendors for that account group, I found gaps, can you please advise me why this gaps are generated by the system and where I can see the corresponding gap numbers in SAP.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply,
Can you please advise me in which SAP table I can find all gaps whcih occured due to deletion.

Vendor Number Range Conflict SAP ECC and CRM 2007

I need to load SAP ECC Vendor data from SAP to CRM and have setup most of the configuration as required. However I have an issue, the vendor number range used currently in our SAP system is already in use in our CRM system and has been for some time (for Prospects and Contacts). What is the best approach to dealing with this issue...
My initial thought was to see if we could have two different numbers for the same vendor in ECC and SAP CRM
eg SAP Vendor "50000001" equates to CRM "VEN50000001"
Is such as approach supported? Can you point me to the documentation that shows how such an approach could be implemented. What approaches have others done to address similar issues?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
By the way we are on CRM 2007 sp4

Hi Eddie,
SAP Note 1044637 - Customize Vendor Numbers
Implement the code present in the attachment. You can
change it according to your own requirements. The example code
suffixes 'VEND' before the first six digits of the vendor
number before it is downloaded to CRM.
Thanks,

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.

External number ranges in asset accounting

Hi All
Why we need to select external number range for asset accounting number ranges why not other sub modules?
useful answers will be rewarded with points
Regards
Prasad

hi hariprasad,
you only have to do that for depreciation posting. the reason for that is the way the program which posts the depreciation is designed. it creates a batch input with the opstings adding the doucment numbers as well and saving these document numbers into a table. when you want to post the depreciation for next month (period), first it will check if documents are already posted for previous period (or forgotten there in the batch input session). this is only valid before 4.7 (or 5.0?), from that release depreciation is also posted with internal numbered documents.
hope this helps

Reset of vendor number range

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in which we can reset the vendor number range? We have already created vendors but some numbers were skipped. Is there a way in which we can re-use it?

no you cannot reuse the skipped numbers. Do not reset the number range.
You will certainly hit the situation that next number would be a number for which you already have a vendor, then SAP cannot save and not proceed further, until you are chaning the number in the range again.
But you can change the buffer setting, then SAP will not skip numbers in future.
execute SNUM, enter KREDITOR, click change and set buffer to 1

Material document number range to matchthe accounting doucment number range

Hi all,
SRM 5.0 ECS.
We have a reqt to match the material document number range and the accounting doucment number range for goods receipts in ECC ...Is this possible???If so,how??
Thanks.

It may not workout .
Material document number range configuration should be unique other wise lot of confusion.
since material docuemnt and account documents uniquely identified by Year and Number.
some times one material number and two accounting documents can be created while doing good receipt.
