Hi All,

By Using the Tcode VN01or by using the

path Sales and Distribution Sales Sales Documents Sales Document Header Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents.

But after making the number ranges how should i assign it to different documents like Invoice , delviery , picking , packing .

What is the procedure to assign these number ranges.

Rakesh,

Number ranges are used to identify the document and used for tracking purpose. in SAP They have provided us with enpough flexibility to create no ranges at each level. Say at Order level, Delivery Level, and Invoice level.

We can create no ranges as per our requirement but in an orderly format without overlapping one another.

Number Ranges can be classified Internally or Externally depending on the scenario.

Since we rae creating customised documents we tend to create no ranges as per customer requirement and based on our logic.

Tcodes used in creating no. ranges for respective documents are as follows.

Sales Documents - VN01

(In Sales documents we will have carious document types like Domestic, Export Scrap, Free Samples.... so care should be taken when you assign the two digit numbering)

Create

NO From No. To No. Current No External

01 0005000000 0005999999 Blank Activate it if you want it to be external

After Creation you should mention "01" in customoised sales document details screen under "Nember systems" depending upon your classification (Internal or External) you will assign "01" in the required field

Similarly you need to follow for other Document types.

Delivery Documents - VN01L - after creation of no. ranges assign in Delivery doc details screen OVLK

Picking - SDPI

Packing (IF you are using HUM) i.e, No ranges for shipping units - VNKP

Billing Documents - VN01F- after creation of no. ranges assign in Billing doc details screen VOFA

For Account Groups wherein you classify Customer

Create no ranges for cust. accounts - XDN1

Assigning it to Cust.Account groups - OBAR

Hi rakesh,

VOV8 - sales document types

0VLK - Delivery document types

VOFA - billing document types

You can see internal and external no ranges.

Here

Maintain internal no ranges, save.

Hi,

for the documents the assignment part is given in the definition of that document iteselt, say for example OR/TA-standard order, go to VOV8 and give internal and external number range seperately. at the time of sales order u can select external number also or if u want system to give the number then dont select it system will give in a sequential manner.

hope this will help

Dear Friend,

Its very simple.

While creating Number Ranges in VN01 you have to ti give two digit or character identification to the Number range.

All you need to do is assign this key (identification of the particular number range) to the relevant document.

Say, for example you want to assign number range to Invoice document, then go to VOFA, select the required Invoice type & assign the number range key at the No.range int.assgt Field.

This would ensure that when you create the above Invoice type, then system would the mentioned Number range.

Hope this helps...

Hi

for invoice (billing document) - assin in the billing type

for excise invoice (CIN) - use t.code SNRO & select object J_1IEXCLOC for plant domestic.& D_1IDEPINV for depot or select the object as per your requirement from the list.

For Delivery : assign in the delivery type

Vn01 is used for assigning number range for billing documents.

There is common transaction code SNRO which you can use all the number range objects.

Go to T code SNRO

Enter the Object ( select the required object)

Click on the CHANGE INTERVALS tab

Click on Insert Interval

Enter the range that you want to use.
