Define Number
Ranges for Actual Postings
In this step you define a number range to be
used for actual line items.
You can specify whether the numbers in the range should be assigned internally
or externally. If you choose "internal", the R/3 System assigns numbers
automatically.
Number ranges are valid for a specific concern.
You can assign one or more
record types to each number range.
Prerequisites
- You must have system authorization for number
range maintenance.
- Your operating concern must be defined
completely.
- The record types must be
maintained.
Actions
1. Decide which
record types you want to use in this operating concern.
2. If
necessary, define new number range groups to meet your requirements (function
"Maintain group", then function "Insert group").
3. Enter
document number ranges in the number range groups. When doing so, do not
forget to take existing document number ranges into account.
Note that automatic
(internal) number assignment is mandatory for data which is transferred to
CO-PA from other R/3 application components (such as direct postings from FI,
cost assessment from CO-CCA, or order/project settlement from CO-OPA and
PS).
4. Assign the
record types to the number range groups.
Notes
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.
