External numbers for billing

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

Can we create billing numbers manually. I need external number range for billing documents. Is it possible? If so tell me the procedure with object name also.

Hi,

External no range for invoice documents is not possible through std SAP. If you want to do that, you have to only enable it through userexits meant for number ranges USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE

Hi Rama,

It's not possible for us to assign an external number range to a billing document.

If you go to transaction VOFA, and choose billing document type 'F2' for example, you can see that under "Number Systems", we only have "No.range int.assgt."

This is different from the sales document type where you can define both internal and external number range assignment.

To compare, you can go to transaction VOV8, and choose sale document type 'OR' for example, you can see both "No.range int.assgt." and "No. range ext. assg." available.

Hope this help

The customization done through VOFA is actually stored in TVFK table. Check that in this table in addition to internal number range there is "external number range" (NUMKE). By default it is "20" for standard (those created by copying standard) billing types. In SNRO you can change the number range 20 to your desired range.

Hi all

Thanks for your reply. But when I have given the external number to the billing document type and creating a billing it is giving error message like ' Assign internal number range'.

That is why I am asking wether external number range is possible for billing documents?

Please suggest me

VN01 or SNRO (RV_BELEG object) is used to create no. ranges for SD documents which include billing document.

External number range is not possible for billing.
