Error Message in Subcontracting challan processing

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Here i am facing problem in processing Subcontracting challan. As per clients organisationsl structure we have two company codes and one plant for each company Code.

As per excise registration, here two Subcontracting series groups are maintained. Number range maintained for the object - J_1i57FC for two series group is same.

The number range is - 0000020001 to 0000029999.

While day to day processing of subcontracting challan, challans are created with same number for two different series group. For example challan number 20001 is posted, Fully Reconcilled and completed for series group - 44.

But again the challan number 20001 is created for series group 64 as per number range assigned to series group 64.

When i am trying to refer the challan 20001 for different company and series group in Goods receipt, it issuing the message - Challan quantity has been fully reconcilled.

If i will check status of subcontracting challan 20001 for series group 64, it shows status posted only.

Please guide me, whether we cant assign the same number range for two different series groups or there is any mistake in Challan processing or any note is available on the issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

As per SAPNote 542862 - FAQ: Country Version India (CIN) General MM queries;

QUESTION: - In the Subcontracting Challan, How should I maintain number ranges for each series group?

ANSWER: - Subcontracting Challan number ranges should not overlap between series group.

For e.g it should NOT be as follows:

Series Group S1 : 000010000 to 000050000

Series Group S2 : 000020000 to 000050000

You should have it like below;

Series Group S1 : 000010000 to 000050000

Series Group S2 : 000060000 to 000090000

So you should always have different no. range for Subcontracting Challan as per Series Groups. Same No. Range should not be used even for two different Series Groups.

Very helpfull answer Pankaj, Thanks.

If it is so, then system should not allow the overlap number range between series groups, within different Company Codes.

But system allows to assign same (overlap) number range between series groups.

As per my query, the same (overlap) number range between series groups has been assigned. Also there is no problem to create (post) Subcontracting challan.

For Example, Series Group 44 and 64 (within different company codes)

Number range assigned - 0000020001 to 0000029999 (same)

1) Challan 20001 created, referenced, Reconcilled and completed for series group 44.

2) Challan number 20001 created (posted) for series group 64.

while referencing the challan 20001 in Goods Receipt,

It issues error message - Cannot Reconcile:Challan is fully reconciled, close the challan.

infact the challan is fully reconciled for series group 44 only not for series group 64.

please provide me solution.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Its a Limitation in SAP as per the above mentioned note, you cannot have the number range between different series groups same (overlapped) even the company codes are different.

Change the Number Ranges of either one series group and carry on.

Cheers,

Hi,

Yes u r right, but SAP suggests to maintain seperate number ranges for EX: series group s1 : 000001 - 100000

series group 2: 100001 - 150000

no over lapping takes place, if it is solved make it answered,
