Documentation
Definition
Key used to define a parallel number range for the document number assignment for individual postings.
Use
For frequently used transactions that post individual documents and for which you usually use the same document type, the user may have to wait during the document number assignment, since all users access the same number range.
To avoid or reduce this problem, you can assign several number ranges to one document type even for individual postings.
Dependencies
If you have specified several number ranges, the selection for each posting is made using the random principle, which ensures that all number ranges are used equally.
If you want a user to always have the same number range, define a value for the parameter 8NR in the user master record. This procedure is explained using an example.
Parallel number ranges must be internal number ranges.
Example
You have assigned 5 number ranges to a document type. If you set the parameter 8NR in the user master record to 2, a number from the second number range specified is always assigned to your postings.
If you have assigned too large a value to parameter 8NR, this is reduced by the number of number ranges specified until an appropriate value is found. Therefore, if, for 5 number ranges, you have specified the value 13 in the parameter 8NR, the result is first 13-5 = 8, and since this value is still too large, 8-5 = 3. Therefore, a number is assigned from the third number range specified.
The number range defined for the document type and the additional number ranges defined are considered together for the selection. If you want to assign the number ranges 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 to a document type, assign one number range directly (for example, 11), and then specify the others as additional number ranges. In the example above, the third number range would be assigned, and according to the sort order, this would be number 13.
