branchwise invoice numbers

[Former Member]

Dear friends,

We want the billing number ranges branch wise.we have 24 branches and 8 billing types and all the branches require different billing number ranges.so to sum up 24x8= 192 number ranges just for the billing documents.

We know the user exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE which can be used.

Forum tells about the same user exit,but some alternative solution should be there.

But just want to know if there is any other solution as we have fall short fall of the number ranges as there are other sales documents also for which number ranges have to be configured.

Thanks

Hi,

The user exit you have mentioned is correct and that SHOULD be used for custom requirement on number ranges. I think the same numbers can be used for different number range for different number range objects. That should not be a problem.

Thanks,

We have to check if it can be done and would not have legal implications

Hi,

This requirement is relevant in some of the companies in retail industry.

You maintain a Z table and enter all relevant branch ids here depending upon the invoice document type, maintain number range interval. Please maintain the interval in SNRO for billing document type.

In User exit - USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE call the Ztable and respective number will be assigned to processing document in VF01.

Hi praveen,

Thanks for the reply.

As you suggested a Ztable can be made based on the required combinations but our question will there be plenty of ranges for us to assign to the billing types as there are 24 branches and 8 billing types so the total comes to 192 number ranges.

And also many branches to come in future.

Please suggest solution

Hi,

Why you require different billing range for each bill type, Legaly the authorities max to max ask for total bills from a branch and hence it would be better if define one number range for each branch for all billing types.

Hi,

You may use one number range interval for all Sales invoices, two for return invoices and for all other complaints use the third one. Suggest the users to minimize the number range intervals or else the system will go into redundancy for maintaining more data in ztables.

And since Returns and other customer complaint documents will be less in number, use the number range which have less numbers.

Try to convince the user...your issue will be resolved.
