Hi,

In most cases we use Internal No. range only.

This is the option given in SAP.

We can give external number range if client requires, but is recommended to give internal only.

Number range in the case of external number assignment

Number that determines how documents are to be numbered by the user. It indicates which number range is relevant for a document type.

Use

When creating a document with external number assignment, the user must enter a document number that lies within the corresponding number range.

Procedure

1. Determine which external number ranges are provided for the relevant document type. Choose the function "Maintain number range" of the document type (for example: Purchase order -> Maintain number range) for this purpose.

2. Choose a number range and note its number.

3. Enter the number of the desired number range.

Best regards,
