In this activity, you maintain the number ranges that are used for posting documents. In the "Maintain document types" activity, you assign the number ranges to the document types.
You require number ranges for individual processing as well as for mass processing. Because mass processing takes place in parallel processes that cannot access the same number range, you need more than one number range per document type for mass processing.
For processing types which take place in parallel processes you should assign as many number ranges for each document type for mass processing as the number of parallel processes which can be assigned. This is necessary, because each process needs its own number range. The number ranges should all be the same size.
The keys for the number ranges must be created according to the following rules:
- For individual processing, the first character has to be a number. Number assignment can be internal or external.
- For mass processing, the first character has to be a letter. Number assignment can be internal only.
Number ranges in contract accounts receivable and payable are valid throughout a client.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
The SAP standard system contains number ranges for standard document types.
Recommendation
For each document type that might possibly used in mass processing, you should plan for at least ten number ranges for parallel processing. Generally, processes for the payment run, payment lot, returns or for debit entry with high document volume are done in parallel.
Activities
- Analyze the documents you have posted up until now and establish how many documents were posted for each year and each document type. Then create number ranges accordingly, so that they cover several years.
- You may have to change the provided number ranges or create new number ranges.
- Only change a number range status if absolutely necessary. If you do, make sure that all numbers that have already been assigned are covered by the changed status.
Further notes
You transport number range objects as follows:
Choose Interval -> Transport in the accounting document Number Range screen.
All intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at the time of export.
Dependent tables are not transported or converted.
For the related number range object FKK_BELEG, do not configure buffering, since the accesses for assigning document numbers is optimized in another way in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
