How to have a custom Item Number in Sales Order Items

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are creating a sales order using IDoc, sales order gets created but, its not taking value what we are populating in Item Number field for Item. Defualtly its filling 10,20 and so on...

Is there any thing that I need to maintain, so that SAP accepts the custom number for Item number.

Please help,

Thanks,

Hello Raja,

I have maintained it as 50000, When I try to create a sales order with Item number 50012, its not taking that value, but defalutly fills it with 50000. we are getting this number from external system so need us the same number what they sent to us. The number what they send is sequential number. Is there any option to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Suma,

In VOV8, you can see the fields Number system..here u can see sub item increment u can enter 12 here then the next item number will be 500012, 500024 and so on. But if u want to maintain external number range then follow this steps.

Determine which external number ranges are provided for the relevant

document type. Choose the function "Maintain number range" of the

document type (for example: Purchase order -> Maintain number range)

for this purpose.

Choose a number range and note its number.

Enter the number of the desired number range.

Hi

I believe this issue is not related to Number Ranges. This is related to Item Number and Item number increment.

Thanks,
