Hi,

Defining number range comes under SAP functional configuration.

but try below tcode

OMH6 - Define Number Ranges

or just go through the following link

Hi Janice,

When you create a PO, SAP R/3 automatically generates a number ( If the BASIS has configured it to be so ), you cannot specify this number but u can specify its range.

PO number can be created externally if the configurations allow external number generation,

Hence the Profile of the user must be such that he/she is allowed to set PO number ( check your config. )

In case, a PO already exists and you have specified that same number, then your newe PO request be update the existing.

External number def for PO depends on the <b>doc type</b> also. it is not advisable to change it as it might afect the current business process also. might u can create a new doc type and then assign the number range for the doc type u have created.

i am actually on a test sap system doing research work. so no need to worry about current business.

i go into omh6 and i can see several intervals that have X in the column for EXT which i assume means external

the po's that are getting generated currently are in the 45000000000 block and there is no X in this column

what do i need to do to to start generating po/s in a different range that has an X in it

I tried to generate a po in one of these other ranges and i get document number not in defined interval.

where to i go to change the interval that the po's are using????????

thanks for the great direction
