The number range interval must be external

Former Member

Hi all,

I've defined a number range for a new material type.

When I try to create a material within the new material type, I get this message : "Internal error in the number range, check for the material number".

Then when I go to check the customizing via SPRO transaction, I get this message : "The number range interval with number 15 must be external".

Does anyone know the solution for that ?

Thank you.

Hi

If you are sure that your settings are correct in MMNR

Then do this and check and reply back

IMG-L.G-MATERIAL MASTER-BASIC SETTINGS-MATERIAL TYPE---DEFINE ATTRIBUTES OF MATERIAL TYPES

in this choose yuor material type and click on its details

in the general data tab there is a external no assignmentw/o check a check box is there

Pls tick that and try to redo your process by giving external no

Hi

I beleive that you are doing it in T code MMNR

Then when I go to check the customizing via SPRO transaction, I get this message : "The number range interval with number 15 must be external".

Check the no range interval 15 and it will be external ticked

Hence you are getting this message

For this remove the tick the external no check box from interval 15 this will give internal no when you save the MM01 transaction

Or otherwise create the material by giving external no in MM01

Thank you for you answer RAJA.

Yes, I'm doing it through Tcode : MMNR

You're right, the no range interval 15 is external ticked. This is because I need to keep this external numbering for this material type.

I've tried to create a material by giving external no in MM01 and this is leads to the first error message : "Internal error in the number range, check for the material number".

Bahia.

Hi

Check your number range settings for material number to see if there are overlapping ranges and their settings.

try with t code MMNR

Thank you for your answer.

The number range that I've defined is : from M-000001 to M-ZZZZZZ

I think that there's no overlapping in it. Am I wrong ?
