 Reservation of Number Range Intervals

Use

If you identified inconsistencies (overlapping) as a result of the number range check, you can use reservations in the systems involved to plan the allocation of number range intervals centrally and to check your planning.

Based on this planning, you can then adjust the number range intervals in the systems involved using the central checking system as a basis (only for intervals from which no numbers have been used).

Prerequisites

You have run a number range check .

Features

In the central checking system, you can propose number range intervals for all the systems for the checked combinations of number range object, subobject, and number. The system displays the number range intervals that are free currently.

The system checks the number ranges again to check whether your planning is consistent (does not contain overlaps).

Activities

You are working in the Central Number Range Check application (t ransaction /ISDFPS/GNR_CHECK) and have called up the results log for a number range check.

  1. Select a row and choose Choose NR Object .

    The results log is restricted to the rows that relate to the relevant number range object.

    The system also displays the following intervals in the lower screen area:

    • Intervals that are currently free in the system landscape

    • Intervals that are free, taking account of existing reservations

  2. To make or change a reservation, select a row in the results log and choose Change Reservation .

  3. In the Reservation fields, enter the required interval limits. Take account of the information displayed in the Free Interval - When Reserving section.

  4. To check the reservation, choose Check Consistency.

  5. To accept the reservations you have made, choose Save .

    The results log is displayed again. This reservation is checked in the next complete check.

  6. Repeat this procedure for other rows until you have used reservations to correct all inconsistencies.

From the central system, you can now adjust number range intervals in the systems involved, if necessary.
