Check CO Posting Number Ranges

In this step, you define number ranges for activities in Controlling and assign the activities relevant to actual postings to a number range group.

Prerequisites

Note

You define the document number ranges in CO independently of the fiscal year.

Recommendation

We recommend that you create separate number range groups for plan and actual activities, so that you can reset the number ranges separately when running reorganization programs which run separately for plan and actual data.

Activities

1. Check whether the standard settings for controlling area "0001" are sufficient for your requirements.
If you are not working with controlling area "0001", you can use the "Copy" function to copy the number ranges to your controlling area.
2. Create any new number range groups you need.
3. Maintain the number intervals for the number range groups you have created.
Make sure that the number intervals do not overlap with other groups.
4. Assign the activities you want to use to number range groups.
