Define Number Ranges

In this step you can define the number assignment category in the step equipment categories . You must allocate a unique number for each equipment master record.

You have the following options:

In this case, the SAP System assigns the numbers.
In this case, the user assigns the numbers.

You can define both an internal and an external range for each equipment category. The same number ranges can be shared by several equipment categories.

Recommendation

SAP recommend that you use internal number assignment.
As you can select pieces of equipment according to different criteria using matchcodes , you do not need to use a descriptive external number as a general rule.

Activities

1. Define the number assignment category (internal and/or external) for each equipment category.
2. Set up a group for each different number interval.
3. Define the number interval for each group.
4. Allocate each equipment category to a group.

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.
