Application Functions (CA-GTF)
Range of numbers that you can assign to
business objects - or their sub-objects - of the same type. Examples of such
objects are business partners, G/L accounts, orders, posting documents and
materials.
Each number range has one or more number range
intervals and a number assignment type.
There are two types of number
assignment:
When storing a data
record, the R/3 System automatically assigns a sequential number, which lies
in the relevant number range interval.
In this case, the
number is assigned by the user or by an external system, both of whom must
ensure that the number lies in the relevant number range
interval.
Example:
Domestic business partners:
- Number range 01, number range interval 100,000
- 199,999, internal assignment
Foreign business partners:
- Number range 02, number range interval 200,000
- 299,999, external assignment
