Hi,

Yes, in SAP we have two type of number ranges - Internal and External.

Internal - Is used to generate the number (PO or PR) within the same SAP system. It could SRM or ERP etc.

External - For example when we are using Classic Scenario where ERP system(backend system) is the leading system. the number range in the ERP system defined with the External tick are used/copied in the SRM system for the creation of PO/PR in the backend system.

Please see the configuration and screen shot:

For number range object - SNRO is the transaction code

this is configuration in the ERP system

SPRO --> IMG ---> Material Management --> Purchasing --> Purchase req/Purchase order --> Define Number ranges

Hi,

the internal number range is used in SRM to generate a PO number in SRM itself. The external number range can be used to let another system determine a number and that is used during the creation of the PO.

So for example in Extended classic scenario, the PO is created in SRM - use the internal number range for this. In the corresponding backend maintain the same number range but as external, as the PO number is sent with the PO details from SRM.

You can use transaction SNUM, but I always go through the customising.
