Number range number in Transaction Types

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

A basic level question...

In SRM.SRM Server.Cross Application Basic Settings.Define Transaction Types...then...Transaction object type.Transaction types we can see that,

1st coloumn Trans. Type.

2nd coloumn Description

3rd coloumn No

4th Coloumn No

5th Inactive

6th schema ID,

7th statprof

The question is why there are same two columns (3rd and 4th)?

I understood that 3rd is for internal number range, 4th is for external number range. Is it correct?

Hello Ganapathi,

Yes, your understanding is correct.

Indeed, to assign a number range interval to a transaction type, it has to be defined in IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Number Ranges.

While doing this, you define also if this is an internal or external number range using check-box "Internal or external number range flag".

So, if you define an internal number range interval for a document category, there is no sense to assign this interval as an external one for a transaction type making part of this document category.
