External Number Assignment in Vendor Account Group

[Former Member]

Hey,

I haved checked the External number assignment option in Number range for the Vendor Account Group.

Defined number range is Numerical(ex.000000001 to 0000000100 ) and however i need to create Vendor externaly and system in not considering the external vendor number .

Assigned the Number Range to Vendor account group.

I need to create the vendor externaly(eg: SLogistics )

Pls advice.

Regards,

Jurgen,

I understand that we need to give external number assignment from the defined range only,

but how ever i need to create with alphabets for the particular vendor...

Tried to create a differnet Vendor group with different number range like AAA....to ZZZZ... but system needs only Numeric numbers..

Message " Please enter Numeric Number "

Any advice..

Hi Nani Y ,

Have you ticked the check box of external number range while defining the number range.

This msg " Please enter Numeric Number " usually comes if the checkbox has not been ticked.

did you enter the vendor number or did you leave the vendor number field empty when creating the vendor?

in case of external number ranges you have to enter the number yourself, SAP does not pick the number itself from this number range.

if you left the number empty, then SAP pulled the new number from internal number range

Jurgen,

I have entered external Vendor Number as "Slogistics" but getting error message as

"Enter a number between "000000001 to 0000000100"

Again the external option is ticket for the number range and assigned to Vendor group.

Since in External range you have given all Numeric, that's the reason it is not accepting 'Alphabets', Try maintaining the No. range as "00000.. to ZZZZZ...' or "AAAA... to 9999...."
