Set Number Range Intervals

This step must be performed for every client in the system where SAP Profitability and Performance Management is used.

Before operating SAP Profitability and Performance Management, set the number range intervals for the following number range objects using transaction SNRO. Ensure that you enter “01” in the No. column (not just “1”).

For the Process ID object, maintaining the number range interval is optional. It is only required if you want the system to suggest the process ID automatically during the creation of the process instance.

To ensure that you understand the implications of maintaining number range intervals correctly, see the Transport section.

You can enter function IDs when you create or copy a function or environment. Modeling users can enter the identifier of the functions in the same way as they do in Customizing rather than a generated number from the configured number range interval. The system makes a suggestion based on a new reduced length number range interval (new reduced length number range object /NXI/NFID). The modeling user can replace this with another value, as required.

In SAP Profitability and Performance Management, the environment ID is three characters long and has to be entered manually (for example ZCA, ZFT, and so on). The version ID is also mandatory and has to be entered manually (for example 1, 2, 3, and so on). The function ID is now five characters long. A function is now uniquely identified as a combination of environment ID, version, and function ID.
