External number range for purchase order response?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is it possible to use an external number range when creating purchase order responses (BUS2209, PCO, POR) manually?

If I transfer the POR from an external system like SUS via XML, can I use an external number range?

I'm using SRM 4.0 (EBP 5.0) in standalone scenario with Business Connector 4.7 as XML interface.

Any help is appreciated,

Hi

No need to maintian Internal number range.. Yes you need to use an external number range

Only the PO, RQ & RS are sync and therefore must correspond with the R/3 number ranges.

The rest, Shop Cart (SC), Local PO (EBP), Confirmation, Invoice, Bid Inv and Bid, aren't synced and can be assigned to any number range. (FYI- using ECS)

Hello Atul,

for PO<b>R</b> I have both internal and external number ranges in the system. But the system uses the internal number range when I create a POR manually in the system. (I cannot delete the internal number range because there are already documents in the system.)

How can I use the external number range?

Will the external number range be used when I transfer a POR from another system?

I found no customizing settings in SRM to tell the system to use external number ranges only.

Best regards

Karsten
