Define Number Ranges

In this step, you set up the number ranges.

The SAP R/3 System manages quota arrangement records as documents.

You assign each transaction to a number range group. You define the number range interval for each group. In addition, you stipulate whether numbers are assigned by the user (externally) or by the system (internally).

Standard settings

The following number range is predefined in the standard SAP R/3 System:

internal number assignment from 8000000001 to 8999999999.

Recommendation

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

Activities

1. Check the number ranges.
2. Change the following in accordance with your requirements:

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.
