hi all,

consider 2 sales org under one comp code

How can we assign same number range to invoice documents under different sales org.

[Former Member]

Yes. We can have it. It depends on the number range object maintained in Billing Type (T.Code: VOFA).

Hi Mithun,

Invoice umber range is assigned to the billing document type.It can be either internal or external.

If the two sales organisations are using same billing document type then it will be taking the same number range interval which is assigned in VOFA.

Now it is always better to have billing document seprate for different sales organisation.Just for the reporting purpose.

Because since both sales org will use the same number range then for a particular sale sorg if you run the report you will find random number for each sales org.This might create confusion.

hi,

the system takes the numbers in continuation for both the sales organisation.

Suppose in sales org. 1 sales order created was 001. Then next if you create a sales order in sales org. 2 then the number will be 002.

Hope this answeres your query. Reward points if solution helps.

Number ranges are not specific any documents, let alone sales organization. They can be applied across the board.

Let me explain it to you with this example. Suppose there are 2 sales org. ABC and DEF, and they are using Sales documents IN, QT, OR, BV etc. in common (i.e. both the using the same sales documents) and have been assigned the same number ranges ex. 1001 - 2000.

Suppose sales org ABC gets an IN - OR document flow

IN - 1001

QT - 1002

OR - 1003

Then if the sales Org DEF gets an IN - OR document flow, it will be as

IN - 1004

QT- 1005

OR - 1006

and if it back to ABC, it will be

IN - 1007

and so on.

So we can see that having same number ranges will not have any effect as the numbers will be assigned in the order in which documents were generated.

Hopefully I was able to explain it clearly.

Number ranges are independent of any organisation structural entities. So you can use the same number range for the invoice documents for different sales org of same company code.

Rwd if this helps.
