SES numbering in ML81N

[Former Member]

Hi All,

While creating SES through ML81N, when we select create button SES number will be generated (eg: 100012000). If you donu2019t save the document and go out of transaction this number will be lost. Next time when I create SES itu2019s the subsequent number is generated (eg: 100012001).

But in ESSR table, there is no SES number with value 100012000. This is standard SAP setting. Is there any configuration in MM -External services that SES number will only be generated upon saving the document (like PO, PR, Contract etc)

" The scenario is indeed part of the normal system behaviour and cannot

be changed easily. The system design implies that with the initial

creation of such a service entry sheet, a number is assigned, even if,

e.g., the entry sheet is not saved.

Please keep in mind that the service entry sheet is NOT an official

financial document, it is therefore only intended for internal purposes.

As a consequence, this allows gaps in the number sequence, in contrast

to, e.g., invoices where continuity has to be preserved. By the way, the

affiliated OFFICIAL document is indeed the goods receipt documemt. "

There in no such configuration. SES number creation is defined by SAP. we can not able to change it.

if SES is saved then only you can see the SES in the table

Hi,

Yes, I agree to you, so there is no configuration and this is standard SAP.

SES number will only show in table if its saved.

Now , the auditirs are catching us and we can explain this, but what solution can be used to avoid this even a technical solution.
