So, Can Any body suggest me how I generate same number form Business Contact and workflow.
Regards,
Khurram Siddique

Hi,
Actully I am Attanding the complaint from the Front office and For Every complaint there is a workflow
eg. I attand a complaint form the customer for bill problem .When agent recieve this complaint the first step for recieve the complaint is to create a Business Contact and save Business contact then Business contact generate a unique Number like 223 .Whenever I save the Business Contact it go to the Inbox of Billing Department' Agent for solving the complaint but the Workflow ID is not same as Business Contact.
So, If I want to give the complaint number to customer then my Bcontact and Workflow ID is different I want that they shud same or any other solution.

Workflow number ranges

Dear Expert,
Can i know which tcode i can maintain the workflow number ranges? I suppose this is only 1 time setup right?
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hi
The workflow prefix number it should be mandatory of workflow , with out prefix we can't do workflow ,
The Number range should be 8 character, transaction code is oo4w or you can get the same transaction throufh SUW3.
i hope it will help you .

Number range for Workflow in SWU3

Hi,
The workflow numbers are client independent and will work for other client as well, the why we need to maintain number range for all other client(so may be for customer task which is client dependent).
And when will go for customer task? I am not clear on this number range definition.
Regards,
Vadamalai A

You don't need to maintain number range for all other clients. I normally maintain the number range for only the client(s) where I am developing. It just means that when you create new workflow templates or tasks (or workflow rules or whatever WF object), they will get the number from this number range. If you would develop in two different systems/clients, then it is necessary to have different number ranges so that you don't "overwrite" any objects if you happen to transport them into a same system.
Kind regards,

Inspection lot number ranges skipping

My inspection lot number ranges are skipping, those are std number ranges like 01 origin, 04 origin etc, what could be the reason for that.
Inspn lots are getting generated and I took UD also. But certain numbers in the range got skipped.
Eg:- Incoming inspn lot 010000000041 then it comes 010000000045
Lot numbers 01/42, 01/43, 01/44 does not exist in sytem.
Please suggest a way out
Thanks

Craig,
But expert suggestion says, not to switch off buffer thru SNRO as it may affect fuctionality as you said early in this discussion.
But I believe, this is to be relooked by SAP as number range skipping is not good (My case its skipping 5-7 numbers at a time). But I am not convinced with the reply from SAP also.
Anyway thanks to you craig for your advice.
SAP Note on this matter for reference of all. Thanks
================================
Note: 62077
Summary
Symptom
Gaps (jumps) occur when allocating internal numbers.
The status of the number range interval does not match the number that was last assigned.
The number assignment does not reflect the insert sequence.
IMPORTANT: Read Notes 504875 and 678501.
Other terms
Document number, number range, number range object, buffering, current number level, trip number assignment, number interval, CO document, CO actual posting, inspection lot, material document, physical inventory document, production order number, planned order number, process order number, maintenance order number
FB01, VF01, KO88, KE21, KE11, FD01, FK01, XK01, XDN1, MB01, MB0A, MB11, MB1A, MB1B, MB1C, MB31, KANK, KB11, KB13, KB14, KB41, KB43, KB44, KB21, KB23, KB24, KB31, KB33, KB34, KB51, KB53, KB54, PR01, PR02, PR03, PR04, PR05, XD01, VD01, MK01, SNUM, SM56, SNRO, VL01, VL02, CO01, CO40, CO41, VA01, MR1M, MIRO
Reason and Prerequisites
A large number of number range objects are buffered. When the system buffers a number range object, it does not update numbers individually in the database but reserves a preset group of numbers (depending on the number range object) in the database the first time a number is requested, and makes these numbers available to the application server in question. The following numbers can then be taken directly from the application server buffer. New numbers are not used in the database until the application server buffer has been used up.
The effects described under "Symptom" are a direct consequence of this:
If an application server is shut down, the numbers that are left in the buffer (that is, that are not yet assigned) are lost. As a result, there are gaps in the number assignment.
The status of the number range interval reflects the next free number that has not yet been transferred to an application server for intermediate buffering. The current number level therefore does not display the number of the "next" object.
The current number level (for each server) can be displayed using Transaction SM56. Call transaction SM56 and choose the menu 'Goto' -> 'Entries'. In the dialog box, enter the client, the affected number range object (for example, RK_BELEG) and possibly the required subobject (corresponds to the controlling area for the object RK_BELEG).
If you use several application servers, the numerical sequence will not reflect the (chronological) insert sequence because the numbers are buffered separately on the individual hosts.
Buffering the number range objects has a positive effect on performance, because the system no longer has to access the database (number range table NRIV) for each posting. Furthermore, a serialization of this table (database locking) is prevented to a large extent so that posting procedures can be carried out in parallel.
Solution
Since number range buffering does not cause any expressly assured qualities to be lost, no correction is required.
If you still require continuous allocation, you can deactivate the number range buffering specifically for individual objects.
Proceed as follows:
- Start Transaction SNRO and enter the affected object.
- Choose 'Change'.
- Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
- If you want to change the buffer size only, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
- Save the changes.
Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered - in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import a release.
In particular, read Note 678501, bearing in mind that changing the buffering type - if not explicitly recommended by SAP - constitutes a modification. For other possible solutions, refer to the following notes:
179224, 599157 and 840901.
For the the following number range objects, gaps may cause users to have doubts since they are 'expecting' a sequential numbering:
Area CO:
- RK_BELEG   (CO Document)
CAUTION: Note that the problems described in Notes 20965 and 29030 may occur if you deactivate buffering.
- COPA_IST (Document number in actual posting)
- COPA_PLAN (Document number in planned posting)
- COPA_OBJ   (Profitability segment number)
Area FI:
- DEBITOR    (Customer master data)
- KREDITOR   (Vendor master data)
Area HR:
- RP_REINR (Trip numbers)
Area PM, PP, PS
- AUFTRAG    (Order number, production, process, maintenance order, network number)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
Area MM:
- MATBELEG   (Material documents)
- MATERIALNR (Material master)
Area QM:
- QLOSE      (Inspection lots in QM)
- QMEL_NR    (Number range - message)
- QMERK      (Confirmation number)
- QMERKMALE (Master inspection characteristics in QSS)
- QMERKRUECK (Confirmation number of an inspection characteristic in QM results processing)
- QMETHODEN (Inspection methods in QM)
- ROUTING_Q (Number ranges for inspection plans)
- QCONTROLCH (Quality control chart)
Area Workflow:
- EDIDOC     (IDocs)
Number range buffering can be activated or deactivated at any time.
Number range objects that have to be continuous due to legal specifications (for example, RF_BELEG, RV_BELEG), or due to a corresponding application logic must not be buffered using the buffering type 'Main memory buffering'. See also Notes 37844 (for RF_BELEG) and 23835 (for RV_BELEG).

Prefix Number range: Transport number range

Hi All,
Here is the situation. there are 2 dev servers. the prefix number range in both are maintained as 901 . The workflows will be trasported to a single prod servers. Now as i understand this will create some trouble in prod coz two workflows in two system might have the same number.
Now I think maintaining different number range might help. but when transporting to prod how willl this number range will be taken into account. I mean how to make sure that 901 will be transported as 901 and same as 902 range? Do i need to maintain some config in prod system or just reserving both the number ranges 901 and 902 in prod will solve the issue? Just need some confirmation ..
Thanks in Adv !
Anuj Sethi

Exactly. The numeric ID that is assigned to your workflow template follows it through the transport system in the same way that the include for a function module follows it.
The difference between workflow templates and reports (in this matter) is that you are not allowed to define the program name of the workflow template. Instead it is composed from the prefix and the next available number in that prefix range.

Excise invoice and domestic invoice sharing same number range

Hi,gurus,my question is addresed to the sap cin gurus
Scenario:-- Normally sap has provided provisions that the domestic invoice and the excise for the export will have different number range object
Transaction-snum or snro(As per the rule the no range has to be approved by excise authorities)
Requirement:--The present requirement of the client is that as per their requirement they will be using the same excise number range both for domestic and the export(They have got the approval from the excise department as per the amendment,that specifies the same)
so i request you to pls guide me as how can it be done in sap that two different business process will share the same number range.
as per my knowledge local excise number range is-J_1IEXCLOC
and for exports is-J_1IEXCEXPand the both will use the same number range and,suppose 1 local invoice is created and say if the no is 1,then if the export excise invoice is created the number will be 2,pls guide me how is it possible that the same number range should be used.
Thanks in advance---Anshuman chakraborty

Dear sir,Thanks for attention towards the issue,but still i need to clarify some details-
the number range forJ_1IEXCLOC are already configured .It is not the case like i have to configure it for the first time however ,so the issue remains how shall i proceed in this case
Sir,i have already checked the transaction j1iin,it does not give any such box to check the-use local no range
infact the error message which the system was throwing to the user that-number range object not assigned for Object: J_1IEXCEXP.
The question remains from my side is what are the complete configuration steps I need to do ,to make the check box appear so as to select-use local number range,and is there any thing to be conveyed to my developer,so that the same appears,
or is it the case like the anything should earlier have been done before the number range for J_1IEXCLOC was created.i would request u to pls guide me giving the complete details of the step to be followed.
Thanks in advance

Urgent : Unable to maintain the Number ranges for Excise Groups

Hi CIN experts............
In Development server I created 3 excise Groups (E2,E3 and E4), the same I was transported to Production.
J_1IRG23A1, J_1IRG23A2 object number ranges are Excise Group specific.
When I go to Tools - Number Ranges to maintain number range for J_1IRG23A1, J_1IRG23A2 objects I didn't find these excise groups.
Im able to see these Excise groups in Tools - Number ranges in Development server, but not in Production.
Can any one guide me something to resolving the issue ?

Hi,
For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
SE11 >>> table PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

CRM ISA R/3 Edition on AP 7.0 Pricing Routine Number range error

Hi Experts,
For our R/3 ISA Secenerio I have developed a Pricing Prepare Routine (PRP). I have uploaded this routine into AP 7.0 ( which runs my IPC 5.0). Now when I try to register my PRP routine I'm not able to do so because of Number range not defined for Application V Scenerio A and Routine Type PRP.
My question are:
1) For a PRP type Routine( Multiple Implementation) is it important to assign a
routine number? ***( according to pricinguserexit manual dummy routine no
has to be assigned)******
2) If yes then how can i assign Number range for this combination.
NOTE: AP 7.0 has SP 7 ( So it fullfills requirment for Special scenerio)
I have never recieved a reply for my query from this forum... hope someone helps this time. :)
Regards,
Dipender Singh

go to http://www.configuration-workgroup.com/ and find technical doc about IPC 5.0 that i presented at Marco Island in 2006.

How to assign numbers in external number range?

Dear experts,
Since NUMBER_GET_NEXT can only be used to assign numbers in internal number range, how to assign numbers in external number range?
So far, I only know the NUMBER_CHECK function module to deal with external number ranges and it only check a number whether it lies in any external number range or not, but it doesn't update any number range status. What I need is a function module like NUMBER_GET_NEXT that supports external number range.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Haris
Edited by: harissahlan on Oct 19, 2011 5:44 AM

With external number range, there is no updating of the number range objectt. The only thing you need to know is whether the number you wish to assign is allowed according to the external number range. And also check if there isn't already an object/document with the same number in the database.

Number ranges for material document (migo) and inventory documents

Hi Gurus,
We need a different number ranges for goods receipt documents and inventory documents because we have different company merged in to one box.Can any body tell me on what basis we differenciate the number ranges how to configure it.
If we take PO, we have different doc types and we assign number ranges to those documents. in case of Miro , it is the single transaction code used by different companies and how to give different number ranges.
Regards,
Sri........

Hi,
I think number ranges of inventory documents are on client level not on company code wise . because even though your creating new document and assigned different number ranges for the documents but these while assigning ranges to T codes (MIGO or MIRO) you dont have option like company codes ( tcode OMBA) so number ranges for inventory documents are at client level not at company code level.

Number range purchase requisitions at storage location level

How can I define a number range for purchase requisitions at storage location level? I have one plant with several storage locations and I want a number range for purchase requisitions per storage location.

what is the background to this request?
I guess that the requestor can easily identify their own requisitions among many.
I dont think that this is necessary with SAP, do not put to much importance in numbers, there are many other options to meet the users requirements.

Billing doc external number range

Hi Guys,
As per my knowledge billing doc uses only Internal number range but when i check table: TVFK i can see No. range external maintained (XX) same maintained my company where shall i config this please give me idea and steps.
Regards
JACK

Hi Jack
In VN01, number ranges for all will be maintained wherein you can see on the right side a tab "Ext". If you tick in this box, assign to your billing types in VOFA, then whenever you do billing, external numbers will be generated.
Reward if this helps you.

Accounting Document No Number Ranges

I have got a requirement wherein the client has asked for the Accounting Document Numbers has to be at Plant Level, & not the Company code level...
Kindly inform me is it possible to allocate the different Number Ranges for Plant Level

hi ASHWIN,
how many plants are there? If not too much, say less than ten, you can create separate document types for the plants. To the different document types you can assign different number ranges. On the other hand you have to write exits, that the proper document type is used in case of MIRO posting for example. You need to create validations as well, that a specific document can only be used for a specific plant (in case of manual posting).
hope this helps

Number range of accounting document for different plants

whenever a billing document is created in SD (using the T-code VF01); an accounting document will be simultaneously created in the FI module. one document type(TS,number range---60:1 to 9999 ) have four plants .different plants have own number range and sequential document number .
eg: doc. type   num.range    fr       to           plant cty       co code
         TS           61            1        1000       PLANT_1      3100
                        62           1001    2000       PLANT_2      3100
                        63           2001    3000       PLANT_3      3100
                        64           3001    4000       PLANT_4      3100
How can that carry out this function ?
thank you for your help !

Hi leung,
As Mr.Rohit has mentioned it has to be done with the z table and the available user exit.
Wht we have done is.we have created no ranges in obj rv_beleg.Eg
AA   0000000001 to 0000099999
AB   0000100000 to 0000199999
AC   0000200000 to 0000 299999.
Using the user exit we have created a Z table.And assignd for this ombination in the Ztable.
Plant X   Billing type A   AA
Plant Y   Billing Type A AB
Plant Z    Billing type A AC
Once this combination matches the appropriate invoice no range gets picked up.

K.Vivek
