  The update group determines how the data from the document header is updated in the statistics file.

Standard settings

The following document types/number ranges are predefined in the standard SAP R/3 System.

SAP recommends that you accept the settings defined in the standard system. In this case, no action is required on your part.

Notes on transport

You transport number range objects as follows:

In the initial screen, choose Interval -> Transport.

Note that 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.
