Hi Ramkumar,

1. Number Ranges for Inspection Characteristics&Number Ranges for Inspection Methods can be maintained at plant level (Internal or external )

2. Number Ranges for Inspection Plans is predefined in SAP for various tasklist types, u cant maintain plant wise

3. Number ranges for inspection lot is at client level maintained for various inspection lot orgin

Hope this clarifies

As suggested vemu for inspection lot we can maintain number range client wise not plant wise,

For 01 inspection type Number range would be - 010000000000 to 019999999999

this would be applicable for both plant.

Thanks!!!

Dear Nehal,

As sugguested by you and Venu for the two plant i will have maintain number ranges for Inspection lot in following way.

Inspection Lot Plant 1

for 01-010001000000 -

---

010001999999 Plant 2 for 01-020001000000----020001999999

for 02-010002000000---010002999999 Plant 2 for 02-020002000000--020002999999

Ram,

As per SAP standard Inspection lot number range we can not maintain plant wise.

Please follow following path to get idea:

SPRO --> Quality Management --> Quality Inspection --> Inspection lot creation --> Maintain Number ranges.

Here you would see this number range are stored in inspection lot origin, they apply to the entire client. So it would be applicable to client wise not plant wise.

So if you maintain number range for "01" like From 010000000000 to 019999999999, then this number range would be applicable to all plant of client for 01 origin.

If you still want to assign number range plant wise then you can maintain custom table for number range inspection type and plant wise, but to define number range externally plant wise is not advisable.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!!!
