Number Range Issue in production

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We are facing a number range issue in production.

Order type PM01 is assigned interval 5000 to 5999. Last number 5999 has been reached.

Order type PM02 is assigned interval 6000 to 6999. Current number is 6200.

Please let me know how to approach this issue for type PM01.

Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj,

Your number range interval is very small.

We normally use intervals like 1000000000 to 1999999999. If this is done, we need to go by creating a new number range.

I guess you need to define a new number range.

Wait for others reply and see if they have a different opinion and flexible solution for your issue

Thanks Maria..... You are right the existing interval is very small.

so how the process would be.....

1. I need to create a new fairly large interval....say 1000000000 to 1999999999.

2. Remove the order type from existing interval

3. assign the order type to new interval.

Is that correct !

If thats the correct approach, I want to know, will it have any impact on the already existing orders in system, which lies in 5000 to 5999.

Hi Raj,

I dont see any impact. When you run report, these old orders will look odd, nothing else.

Do the same in DEV or QAS, test it and then do in PRD

HI Raj,

Yes.There wont be any impact on existing orders. One recommendation, While you change PM01 number range, its better to change it for PM02 as well to maintain the consistency and avoid this issue in coming future.

Terence....

I am trying to create a new interval.

But Interval > Maintain option is disabled, in all systems. (dev, quality, prod)

Please let me know how to proceed.

Hi Raj,

Please follow the below steps:

1. Remove the order type from existing interval.

2. Assign the order type to old/new interval.

It will not have any impact on the existing order which lies between 5000 to 5999
