Dep number range issue (External Assignement)

[Former Member]

Dear All,

i am getting error wile posting Dep (AFAB) for external number range assignment for Document type AF (Dep Posting in Current Year, but in last year it get posted with internal number range only)

See the error.

Create document number range 03 using external number assignment

Message no. AA759

Diagnosis

Processing had to be terminated, since you set up the document number range 03 for the year 2011 with internal number assignment.

System response

You should create a document number range with external document numbers for periodic depreciation posting, since the document numbers are not assigned from Financial Accounting, but by the posting program of Asset Accounting. The external number assignment, therefore, should not be understood as manually entering the document number. It is only external from the point of view of the Financial Accounting application.

Procedure

Change the number range 03 from internal to external number assignment in Asset Accounting Customizing.

Why system is behaving like this. It should be internal number range as i post the Dep in other clients and it is working properly with internal number range.

Kindly Suggest

Hi

SAP itself contradicting his own statement.

When i create external number range assignment in one of the other client system show me the message.

Create document number range 04 using internal number assignment

Message no. AA776

Diagnosis

Processing terminated because the document number range 04 for year 2011 was set up with external number assignment.

System Response

For periodic posting of depreciation, you have to create a document number range with internal number assignment, since the document numbers are assigned from Financial Accounting.

Procedure

Change the number assignment for the number range 04 from external to internal in Customizing for Asset Accounting. See SAP Note 890976 for more information.

Now what to do kindly advice.

Regards,

Hi:

Please check the settings in customizing. Please check AO71 which document type has been assigned to your company code. Now check that document type in OBA7 and check the number range assigned therein after that check that number range in AS08.The flag 'External' must be set for the number range for the depreciation postings.

I hope this will help you resolve issue.

Hi Atif

From Last 4 year this problem never come system always post dep with internal assignment only. Even i check in other client system posting Dep. with internal number only.

Document Type and Number range properly assigned.

AS08 is for Asset master number range, there is no relation with Dep. posting.

Hi Chinks,

I already gone through this mail before posting this thread.

My problem is that in last 4 year system never ask for external assignment then why now system asking to assign external assignment of number range.

And if i check in the server of some of the other client it is working properly with internal assignment.

I dont understand the reason behind that.

I can solve the issue by assigning the external assignment. But then not able to understand the reason behind this. Hope you understand my concern.

Regards,

Shayam

Hi Shayam,

I agree it is strange. Alternatively, create a new number range for e.g. 99 with internal number assignment > then assign to document type AF replacing the existing one if internal number assignment is preferred and you should test it first.
