Hi

If u want to have ur own number for PO then u can use external number range

but . The number you enter needs to be between the from-number and the to-number.

Hi,

When the process of the procurement is different and how material behave, you use ducument type.Lets have examples,,,,,Local Purchase and import.For Local Purchase the ducument type is "NB"and import ducument type is "ZNB".Your company procure materail maximum quantites from domestic market ,so you have internal number range for document type"NB" and here the system auotomatically number the PO.Rarely your company import material , so you have external document type"ZNB" and during creation, you have to enter the PO number mannually.

But it's depends on business requirement.

The above is just a example, but u can have internal number ranges for "ZNB" also.

Hope the above is helpful and reward.

Regards,

hi,

It purely depends on the business to go for external or internal PO number.

Normally businees uses internal PO number ranges.

I am not getting any cases where business can use external PO numbers.

POs are legal documents and buyers should not be allowed to use their own numbers.

Traceability will be losing if you are using external PO ranges.

Hi

eventhough we have option to use external no. range we won't use it for 99.999 % of the business scenario. In very rare accations if they want to keep a track of very rarely and high value item procured , then they will go for External no. range with the different document type.
