Usage of same Number range for another warehouse

[shailesh_mishra5]

Hello Experts,

We have one EWM managed warehouse in Germany already running into production. Now, we are adding one additional EWM warehouse in China. Our requirement is to use the same EWM specific number range which is used in Germany like below

Warehouse Tasks/Warehouse Documents, Wave ,Warehouse Order,Consolidation Group, VAS Order, Physical Inventory Documents.

Can we use the same number range for this additional warehouse or will it create duplication issues or do we need to create a separate number range ? Appreciate your reply

Best regards

It all depend on your business,

Technically there is no issue having the same number range. Number ranges are warehouse specific and during search

of object(e.g. WT/ WO, PI e.t.c.) warehouse number will be the unique.

My experience with other implementation is to have a separate number range to easily identified the location where it is getting generated. In some case it was specific to internal audit requirement. They should have the continuous number range unique to the warehouse location but that was specific to document which were going outside the warehouse.

Hello Shailesh,

the number range intervals for some objects - like the warehosue order - are organization dependent. So number range interval 01 for WH 1000 is independent of numberrange interval 01 for WH 2000. There can be a warehosue order 1000 100000001 and a

2000 100000001.

The business objects used for integration processes (warehouse request, for example the inbound delivery) are using number range intervals without organizational separation. So here you use the same intervals, you can only have one 100000001.

Katrin
