hello, friend.

you first define your number ranges using VN01. you can specify internal or external number ranges.

then, you assign the number ranges using VOV8 and selecting your document type. inside the document type you will see 'Number systems'. assign the number ranges to the appropriate field or fields, taking care that only internal number ranges are entered in the field for internal assignments, and external number ranges for external assignments.

Hi,

I )T.code VN01 is used to Display, Maintain and check status of Number Ranges for

a) Order types ( returns, orders, credit requests, sdf's etc)

b) Delivery types

c) Billing types

To maintain click on change intervals

II) Number Ranges can be maintained both internally and externally depending on the requirement.

The number ranges already maintained are displayed as

No From number To number current number Ext

No : Here is to identify the total from and to number ranges

From number : Here is the starting number of the document

To number : Here is the end of the number range.

Ext : if checked should maintain externally otherwise it is treated as internal number range.

To create new number range can click on the tab with + symbol on right corner of the screen. once entered into Vn01 screen.

system warns if the number range you desired to use is already available and also proposes available number ranges.

once this step is done.

III) Can Assign the No which was maintained against the from number and to number to

a) Order types in T.code VoV8 Select the order type ( enter the No maintained in Vn01 in number system tab of order type which ever is applicable internal or external number range)

b) Delivery types in T.code 0VLK Select the Delivery type ( enter the No maintained in Vn01 in number system tab of Delivery which ever is applicable internal or external number range)

c) billing types in T.code VOFA Select the Billing type ( enter the No maintained in Vn01 in number system tab of Billing type here you can maintain only external number range)

Kindly award points.

Number Ranges In Sales Order

This is regarding number ranges defining and assigning tips which you can follow as below:

Whenever there is a new Sales Org being created, you will be required to maintain Number Ranges for Sales Documents which are allowed for your New Sales Area.

Number Ranges can be maintained Internally by the system, however it can be maintained externally also if you customize it accordingly.

In Standard SAP the Transaction code for Maintaiing Number ranges externally is VN01.

Defining - The same can be reached through in IMG as : Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Document Header-->Define Number Ranges for Sales Documents.

Here you provide the system a specific Number range as follows:

Number range Key Start Number range End Number Range+Current Number

For Example: If you want to propose the following Number Range

*1 9000076000 9000076999 0

The Current Number field will be kept zero as you are proposing new number range and no sales documents have been created on it , Obviously..

*1 is a Unique Two digit Alphanumeric Key, while proposing your key, you should ensure that it should not be there in the system as existing.

If you propose a key that is there in the system or if the Number Range (Start and End Series) is there in the system already, the system will throw a message that Interval already already exists. So choose a key that is unique, and which is not there in the system.

Here , by making this , you are assigning a Key to a Number Range Series.

All the symbols can be used along with numbers from 0 to 9 and Alphabets from A to Z and in any order. For example: !1, ^A, BB,Z*,M2.........

Assigning - In Assigning, you assign the particular Sales Document to the Number Range you have already proposed as above.

The Assigning Part is done as follows:

The Two digit Alpha Numeric Key is maintained or Assigned to the respective Sales Document type in V0V8.

This can also be reached in IMG by:

Sales & Distribution>Sales>Sales Document Header-->Define Sales Document Types

Locate the particular Sales Doc Type, and double click on it to display it configuration. Here you put the Two Digit Number key in the Field- "Number range External Assignment"

Besides this:

If a new Shipping Point is created then Delivery Number ranges are required to be maintained.

Similarly,

If a new Plant is created then Billing Number Ranges are required to be maintained
