Alfa Numeric document numbers

[Former Member]

Hi All

The client wants to use Alfa numeric doc number. eg AK1000.

The system does not allow above. Does any one know a work around for this.

The client wants to maintain this number in the system as well as use it as the invoice number when printing

Thank you

Hi Apsara Senaratna,

To achive this you have to use Prefix OR Sufix option in Document Numbering Series

Other wise you have to create UDF for printing.

Hi Apsara......

Document No. Series always in Numbers.

You can set the Prefix or Sufix and can get it print into the Print Format.

If you still want to get it on the screen then you can manage the same in UDF by FMS for BeginStr and EndStr........

Document numbers are alwyas saved in SAP as numeric fields. You can set prefix in document numbering series to show it as alphanumeric on reports such as PLD or crystal.

or as a work arround if you want to have it on document , create UDF (alphanumeric type) on maketing document header level, apply FMS , concatenate aphnanumeric text with document number.

hope this will help.

Hi Apsara,

In Document numbering try to use prefix. Like AV and enter the first number last number.

hope this will solve ur problem.
