External number range for storage units

[Former Member]

I have been trying to set this up without success.

1. If I set up an external number range and assign it, then the system tells me to set up an internal number range.

2. If I set up an internal number range the system does not allow manual input (external assignment from internal number range not allowed).

I have allowed internal and external assignment for the warehouse.

This is the error that I get when trying scenario 2.

"External assignment of numbers from an internal number range not allowed

Message no. L3212

Diagnosis

The external storage unit number to be issued is in an internal number range.

Procedure

Unlike other applications, external number ranges in the WM system are not explicitly defined. Instead, they are taken from the unused numbers in the internal number ranges when the "Issue type" switch in the Customizing application allows external numbers to be issued for the warehouse number."

So does this saying that external number assignment is not possible? Or is it saying that I have to use internal range even for external numbering? What is the solution?

Thanks, that works. So external numbering is allowed but you must give a number that is not in any of the defined number ranges.

Please have a look at OSS note no. 14881.
