Separate number range for billing

[Former Member]

Hi all,

There is a following requirement in a pharma product environment.

One of the distribution channel requires a separate billing document number range. This is because then the tracking receipts of payments from the Govt customer of this channel would be easier. The customer gives cheque without any reference. The accounts have to break their head to find out against which invoice the cheque has been sent. if 1,2.3,4...like this separate series is there for the billing document for this channel then tracking would be easier.

How does one accomplish this ideally?

Hello Raj,

The number ranges for sales document is depends on the Sales Document type.

The standard way is :

- First you define the number ranges in VN01 (SPRO-> Sales & Dist -> Sales Doc -> Sales Document Header -> Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents

- Then Assign this number range to document type in VOV8 (SPRO-> Sales & Dist -> Sales Doc -> Sales Document Header -> Define Sales Document Types

For your requirement, you can use the userexit,

USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ)

The internal number range used in the standard system is specified in the billing type table and can be changed in this user exit. This user exit is only called when the billing documents is created.

Hope this helps.

Hi Arif,

Thanks for your reply.

I just want to avoid using any user exits. Can it be possible if I create a different billing type for this distribution channel by copying F2 and then give a range from the internal range which is not being used by other billing types?

Has anyone tried this? I would like to have advice on the same.

Hi Raj,

If you want to avoid the use of User Exit use a separate billing document type.

Assign the the new number range in the definition of the new billing type.

Speak to your Business Process Owners (BPO) if they are fine with different billing type for the specific distribution channel.

If the BPO dont aggree you can use the user exit in RV60AFZZ which is very simple to code.

Award points if this helps.

Hello,

You can have your own number range which u can create with t-code [VN01]

Next attach this number range to the billing document type [t-code VOFA].

The usage of the Userexit, USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE (Module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ) can be used in case you want something like specific number range for each year, the configuration of which is not possible in IMG.

Hope this helps.
