Sales Document Number -external- any user exits?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

My client needs the Sales document Number to be created Externally and automatically for a particular codification logic, but in SAP external number needs manual intervention.

Is there any <b>User Exit</b> to achieve this?

Plz help

Hi,

Please check this, USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE

Use this user exit to define the number ranges for internal document number assignment depending on the required fields. For example, if you want to define the number range depending on the sales organization (VKORG) or on the selling company (VKBUR), use this user exit.

The user exit is called up in the FORM routine BELEG_SICHERN.

Hi Ambu

well firstly there are no standard User Exits which SAP provides for your Query .

Now the question of having an External Number range in SAP itself says you Give the number Manually or externally , the system will not pick or create this automatically. so my question would be how will you create an External number range which is Automatic , i feel it should be internal number range for the system to pick it up automatically.

your Logic is Quite complex as the Business units can change any time and then you always will have to change your Code accordingly ... the year may also change here in your example ... so its gonna be quite complex even if you really want to code this .... have a thought over this...

Hope this helps ..

You can config the external numbering in txn VN01.

You can use an interface to create documents automatically, those 2 things are distincts.

Hope this helps,
