In this IMG activity, you define the number ranges for reference numbers. In Intercompany Data Exchange, reference numbers are used to group account-based items that logically belong together.

Example

Distributors and suppliers must communicate in order to bill customer contracts, even more so if one of the two operates as a billing consolidator.

In electronic billing, the affected items must be grouped internally under a reference number. This is necessary to correctly process inbound payments or reversals. This takes place automatically and is not visible to the user.

The reference number is not to be confused with the cross refernce number. The cross reference number is an external number and is used for the unique allocation of consumption values, bills and payments between communication partners. If you use a cross reference number it is uniquely allocated to a reference number.

You must always assign the reference number whereas the assignment of the cross reference number is optional.

Activities

  1. Choose Change Intervals.
  2. Choose Insert Interval.
  3. Enter the data required.
  4. Choose Insert.
  5. To insert additional intervals, repeat steps 2 to 4.
  6. Save your entries.

Further notes

The reference number is stored in the ECROSSREFNO table. The system accesses this table upon receiving inbound IDocs (for a payment, for example). An entry is also generated in the same table in the recipient's system (supplier) so that the information can be cross-referenced.
