GRN number allocation - reg

[Former Member]

Dear friends,

We are facing the problem on the GRN number allocation.

Presently we are having 3 legal entities (Companies) and approx 20 Plants. We are facing an issue on GRN numbers getting allocated across the group. (Eg GRN No #1 allocated to Plant I which belongs to Company A and GRN No #2 is allocated to Plant II which belongs to Company C).

Auditors are insisting on the GRN number based on plant or atleast for a legal entity (company).

Is there any feasibility to configure the GRN number range based on company / plant.

Hi,

It is not possible to configure the Material Document no renage with respect to Plant/or compant code..

The main reason is the the Tranaction elements like WE, WA are ited with material no range..

And the transaction elelments are at client level.

That is how the SAP has been designed.

We need to explain to auditorss..Material Doc no is the Just no. assignment...and it is unique no across the clinet...

And NO way the material doc no will miss lead the accounting practice..

---

one step ahead you can create your onwn transaction elelment XE,XA similat to WE and WA and split the no. ranges..

But all the std movement types are in bulit by SAP based on WE, WA etc....So it it very diffifult to think on this option.

Hope you got the point..

Thanks,

Kumar Arcot
