PO Number ranges for each company

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I need your help in this question, please.

I need a number range for PO for each company, this is possible in SRM? For example, for company XPTO the PO number is 100000 - 199999, for the company YZT the number is 100000-199999.

On module MM exist one user-exit, but in SRM i don't find that user-exit.

Thank's for your help.

See if the BADI enhancement BADI_NUMBER_GET_NEXT can help you in any way.

Paulo,

Would you like to use the same number range in 2 companys?

I think its not possible, but you can create 2 transaction types with 2 diferents number ranges, like this:

BUS2201 - Purchase Order

Company A - ZTEST - 100000 - 199999

Company B - YTEST - 200000 - 299999

Hello Mr. Pedro Marques,

Thank's for your answer, but what we need is a diferent number range for each company.

We need a solution like the user exit that exist in MM (MM06E003) to assign a number to a PO by company.

Thank's in advance.

Hi. Are you using classic? If you are the easiest way to do this is to define 1 big number range on your PO type in the backend, say 1000000000 to 5000000000.

Then you can define lots of different number ranges in SRM within the 1 range in the backend, for example 1000000000 to 19999999999 as 1 range, then 2000000000 to 29999999999 and so on.

Then use BADI BBP_BS_GROUP_BE method GET_NUMBER_OR_RANGE to choose a differnet range in SRM based on whatever criterea you want.

When it passes to the backend it will all be within the 1 big range, but each smaller part of the range can be used to identify whatever.

Alternatively you could use the BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW BADI to have a different document type in the backend based on company code. This would mean checking your security and so on though and would be more work.

We had this same problem amongst many others with the PO module - in the end we put on a new web interface to pass the data back to SAP and it solved all of our purchasing issues including ease-of-use and training. We used the eProcurement tool from Mikrofax eProcurement Solutions at [www.mikrofax.com |http://www.mikrofax.com ] hope this helps.
