Alternative Accounting Document Type during Invoice Posting

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two queries which could resolve our clients specific requirement. It is required that for a specific customer we need to have 8 digits invoice number. We have attended this through SD user exit. However the Accounting document number range is external and hence same billing number gets generated for Accounting Document. This is conflicting with previous num range which is 10 digit. We have two alternatives to solve this as given below. Pls advise.

1) Please let us know if we can determine different Accounting Document Type when posting Invoice to Accounts. This has to be different from what is maintained in VOFA.

2) Is there any user exit or BADI which can determine separate number range for Accounting Document Type determined during Invoice Posting to Accounts. Probably this query is more relevant in FI Forum , but please suggest if anybody has ideas on this.

Hi Sasikanth,

Actually we had a similar requirement so have a look at our solution.. Hope it will be helpful..

Actually it was related to MM Module and we used user exit so i think that user exit will not be helpful to you so you can search for the relevent user exit..

What we did was.. we kept the same number range but we added some 2 digits padding.

For exmple if number assigned by number range is 12345678 then we made it like..

99 + 12345678 = 9912345678

This was just for spcific case and for rest of the case it was as usual.. we had to create one Z-Table also for maintining all numbers and referances..
