In this step, you define the number intervals of the number ranges for vendor master records.

When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number comes from the number range provided for the account group.

There are two ways in which numbers can be assigned:

  • Internal number assignment

    Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined.

  • External number assignment

    Here you specify a number from the external number range.

Recommendation

With internal number assignment, you can start search functions for vendor master records using matchcodes. This largely eliminates the need for mnemonic vendor numbers.

For this reason, SAP recommends that you use internal number assignment.

Activities

  1. To define a number range, you must insert a new number interval:
    • Specify an alphanumeric key with a maximum of two characters.
    • Specify the limits of the number interval. The individual number intervals must not overlap. Each number may therefore occur only once.
    • Mark the number range if it is intended for external number assignment.
  2. Then store the key of the number range in the account group table (see "Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Vendors").

Note on Transport

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.
