Material Number Range

1283 Views

Dear Experts,

I need your advice regarding Material Number Range, Since I have set up my each material type is external numbering. Let say material number 111100001, in config is set 100000000 - 199999999 how ever system does not allow me to put numbers only. The following error;

With this material type, ext. material no. must not contain only numbers

Message no. M3565

Diagnosis

You have entered a material number that consists only of numbers.

However, the material type that you have chosen has been set up in customizing in such a way that external numbers are assigned without being checked. A purely numerical material number is not allowed for this material type.

I have set in material type attribute as external number w/o check. Moreover I need your suggestion, If have material type with number not consistent such as Material A 111100001 and material B 11AABB001, what suppose to be the range?

Best regards,
