Hi,

You can surely have a different number range per Sales Area. For this you will have to make use of a User Exit (which would surpass the standard SAP functionality). Try USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE.

Maintain the desired range in VN01 with the respective Range Keys.

Make a custom table comprising of Sales Area and Number Range keys (same keys which you maintained in VN01).

Now everytime, the system will check which sales area is used and accordingly, it will fetch the Number Range Key~Sales Area combination from the custom table, and will pick up the number range from VN01.

Coding should done by a good technical guy to make this work nicely.

Hope this helps you.

There is a user exit that you can use. As far as I remember it is the user exit SAVE_DOCUMENT PREPARE.

From here you can override the number range that is assigned tou your order type. I would recommend not to hard code the number range, but to maintain it in a user defined table (e.g. sales area - order type - number range). The number range itself has to be maintained as a regular number range, it is just not assigned in customizing.
