Hi,

Number Ranges are maintained in T.Code: SM30.

Provide the Table/ View, say Bill_Num for example.

In Tab: Restrict data Range, Click Radio button: No restrictions and Click Tab: Maintain.

In new window, maintain all the combinations for Columns: Sales Org, dist. Channel & Bill type and no values in IntNR.

Save the data.

I hope this will work.

Invoices number range is always internal in the standard system. If you want to change this then you need an access key from SAP to do so. For this you need to raise a message to SAP who will then send you the access key and then you can make the change, But remember this shoould be a customer requriement, If you are however working on an IDES system at home you cannot.

Hi,

Try this..

T.code: VN01

Click Tab: Intervals (Change Mode)

Click Tab: Interval (Insert Interval)

A new window will pop-up. Simply Click Field: Ext (External Assignment).

I hope, This will help (if i have understood the question correctly).

Good Afternoon Prathima.

Use tcode OBA7

Look for Doc type RV Billing Doc trn.

This doc is generally used for posting Billing doc to accounting.

Here you would find Number range as external.

Reason: As per standard, the Accounting doc number is similar to your the Billing account.So, that there would not be any difference in numbers of both, therefore for accounting doc - Billing doc trnsfer (RV) the number range is Internal number but the Billing doc type will havre internal number range.

And as you are FI consultant, I don't feel I need to explain why or purpose these numbers should be similar from accounting point of view.

Hope it solved your query. Kindly reward.

Take care. JP.

As per Standard SAP : The RV document type is internal with range 90000000 to 999999999 and it repeats every year, unlike SD billing document which can not repeat unless archieved.

But, depending upon accounting practice it can be made external. Even that condition alone will not ensure that it will take the SD number range. The second condition is that the document number of SD should fall within the specified limit of the number range assigned to RV.

MORALE OF THE STORY : Billing document and Acounting Document (whether or not you assign external no range to it) will always take internal number.

You can however, assigned different number range for different Plant/ Co Code using the userexit.

Agreed. As you mentioned are standard number range rules and those are to be followed and kept in mind by consultant on defining a number range for any doc.

I'm very much aware of that and number range defining is not that easy task.

Thanks. Take care. JP.

as per my knowledge invoice is always internal but the financial document is a external one.

RV is the doc type for FI people oba7 is the tcode.

Assigning "external number range" to SD billing document is NOT possible.

However, you can assign "external number range" for the accounting document number that is generated. In this scinario the accounting document takes the SD invoice number.
