How to create a sequence in ABAP?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

we have a requirement to create some data in a FM and every document must have a unique sequential number. How to achieve this?

Numbering should be in a format 0009561544 (so 10 chars) and should start from 0001000000.

One option would be to create a table with one value and read and increase it's value each time it is called.

Is there any other option how to achieve it?

Thank you,

Number ranges - transaction SNRO.

Hi Rob,

thank you for the answer.

Can you please tell me more details about it? When I create a number range object, how can I retrieve a current value and increase it from a FM?

Thanks,

Create a number range object using transaction code SNRO.

Then in the program use function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT to get the next number by passing the above created number range object.
