Number range for business partner

[Former Member]

Hello

I am replicating suppliers from backend to SRM so I needed to set an external number range interval for this, in : SPRO - Cross-application components - SAP Business Partner - Business Partner - Basic Settings - Number Ranges and Groupings - Define Number Ranges.

The problem is thet when I need to create an organizational unit the system needs an internal number range interval to determine business partner number, someone could give some examples that how solve this problem.

Thanks

Hi Nilson

You have to define two different number ranges, one for the organizational unit and other for the suppliers, an example:

01 0000000001 0000999999 (internal)

AB 0001000000 0009999999 (external)

MD 9000000000 9999999999 (external)

take care that the suppliers numbers are in the range AB

I hope this help you

Hi Jose Luis

Thanks for your reply, I tried to do exactly as you mentioned.

I have one interval:

01 0000000001 0000999999 (internal)

And tried to create other as :

AB 0001000000 0009999999 (external)

But the system displays a message: (ENTER INTERVALS WITHOUT OVERLAP)

Do you have idea what I can do?

Thanks

Hi Nilson,

You have to take care of number ranges in R/3 and create one number range in SRM that help you, if you want to retain the R/3 numbers.

e.g. If your R/3 number ranges are

100000 - 200000

Set number range as follow:

01 0000000001 0000099999 (internal)

AB 0000100000 0000999999 (external)

I hope this help you.
