SD Document number range - current number not changing

[former_member496861]

Hi Gurus,

For sales order (OR), the number range is 1 to 4,999,999. The current number is 995301. In Production system, the current number changes when orders are created. I want to get assurance that when the order becomes 999999, it can go to next number of 1 million. Based on the range, it should be ok.

In DEV system, with the same setup, i change the current number to 996000. Created 5 orders but the current number stays the same.

Shouln't the current number change ? Then i change the number range from 1 to 996000 with current number as 996000. Created few orders in DEV but it still allows me to create these orders. I would expect error. Do anyone of you have experieces with this as described in DEV ? Based on setting in PRD, would it go to 1 million ? Tere is no user-exit used for the number range. Pls provide any suggestions you have. Thank you..Joyce

HI Jaya,

I changed the status and put in a new number for the current number in VN01. However, the current number still do not change after creating a few sales orders.

Thanks

Ensure that the number range what you have maintained in VN01 is assigned to your sale document type in VOV8

Hi Lakshmipathi,

The doc num range is assigned to the correct doc type OR.

Hi Abhishek,

The number range is already assigned to 01 for the OR doc type.

Joyce, have no fear, your numbers will go to 1,000,000, even all the way to 4,999,999

What Wolfgang explained is true, there is a "buffering" thing going on. I wouldn't even bother trying to trace the details out.

If you have a bunch of app/servers each one of those can grab a group of numbers (buffered).

Hi Bill,

I believe that the range will go to 1 million when the times comes in PRD system. Somehow i just don't know why the current number in VN01 did not change. Maybe i need to create more orders.

Thanks

Hello Joyce,

gues that you try to change the number ranges to number range object 'RV-BELEG'. But that one is normally buffered. Means the transaction VA01 .. read the memory buffer and not the table itself.

you could ( in a DEV ) system reset the number range buffer via SM56. Or simply wait until your DEV System gets restartet.

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for your reply. Where in SM56 do i put the current number ? Once added an entry in SM56, i assume i see the current number updated in VN01 ? This is for object RV-BELEG.
