hello, friend.

for invoices and other billing types, the use of internally assigned number ranges follows accounting and legal requirements. this enables your company and the taxman to follow all billing documents created. in many countries, you are required to issue numbered billing documents in consecutive sequence.

Dear Mohan,

As per the standard SAP process internal number range is recomended for the billing type.

Becasue the billing document is one of the integration area with the finance so the number should be in the sequence manner.

You can get your requirement through User Exit but that is not advaisable.If you put external number range there will not be any control on the document sequence.

I hope this will help you,

Regards,

Murali.
