Dear Sasi

Whatever number range you maintain for billing document in VN01, use the same range in FBN01 also and assign it to RV document type in OBA7.

Dear Sasi,

It would not a good idea to maintain same number ranges for BIlling & FI documents.

Because, FI number ranges are year specific, meaning they have to be updated / changed every year fiscal year. While Billing number ranges have no such restrictions.

Thus if you have same number ranges then you will have to change / update every fiscal year.

Still, if your client insists on the same then you may do the needful as suggested by experts above.

Hope this helps...

GIve points if useful...

Hello,

Account document numbering has year dependency. I mean when you maintain number rangers for Accounting docs you will do it per year. However Billing number ranger has no such option, billing number range can be used till completes.

So once the year cross system will checks for new number range for accounting docs and for billing docs same old one is used till it completes.

Yes it is possible to have. For RV document maintain the same number series as your billing document type and check the checkbox external. After this any billing document release to accounts will have the accounting document number same as the billing document number.
