Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to reset the number ranges for loaded materials into a DEV client? If so, how to do? Or, should we just refresh and wipe the already loaded materials?
Thanks,
Paul
What I wanted to do is reset the numbering within intervals. So, that if I needed to do a subsequent load I could start at the beginning of the interval. Generally, if you archive previous materials, then do another load, your internal numbering (within intervals) will start at the next available number (Not the lowest number possible within an interval)

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your responses thus far. I appreciate all of your input. I am working on a solution to my "problem."
Once I find it, I will share it with you all.

From technical point of view, material number is the primary key (unchangeable) and in most cases unique in all the material master tables(below).
Table | Description |
---|---|
MARA | General Material Data |
MAKT | Material Descriptions |
MARC | Plant Data for Material |
MBEW | Material Valuation |
MARD | Storage Location Data for Material |
MARM | Units of Measure for Material |
MVKE | Sales Data for Material |
MPOP | Forecast Parameters |
MPGD_MASS | Planning Data |
MLAN | Tax Classification for Material |
MLGN | Material Data for Each Warehouse Number |
MLGT | Material Data for Each Storage Type |
So, you cannot just keep the data and change material number for already loaded material. In simple terms the answer to your question is NO. As far as wiping the currently loaded materials is also not an easy task. It is normally done by BASIS administrator.

But, you can change the number range of material for future materials. Just change the group for the material type in MMNR.

Hi paul,
Reset in the sense are you going to change existing material if this is the requirement it is not possible.You can mark material for deletion.

If you are asking about changing of material master number (which is already created) then it is not possible. But you can delete the material & archive and create new material master with new number range.Use MMNR t-code for material master number ranges.
