Excise invoice number range assignment

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

This is with regarding Excise invoice number range assignment (J_1IINTNUM, J_1IRG23A1, J_1IRG23A2)

For the financial period April 2011 to March 2012, following number ranges exist already in SNUM.

01---- 2011--5007393-5999999

01---20125016369-5999999

Till 31st March 2012, excise number ranges doesn't change. But for the next financial period from April 2012 to March 2013 there would be a new set of number ranges.

At the time of April 2012, I will have to change the number ranges as per the new financial period. In such a case, I would be unable to change the number ranges for the financial year 2012, as the system would throw an error as "Lower limit can only be changed during initial entry"

How to change the number range for the financial period April 2012 to March 2013, in this above scenario?

Also can you please guide me on how to map the number ranges so that from April 2012, the system would start taking the new number ranges instead from January?Thanking you in advance..

Regards,

Vijay N

As for as CIN number ranges are concerned, no need to decrease the number range interval. You can maintain the same number range for 2012 also.

In your case, it would be

01---- 2011--5007393-5999999

01---20125016369-5999999

Also till March'12, system will consider the first one and from April'12 onwards, system will consider the next one.

Dear Mr. Lakshmipathi,

Thank you for your reply.

Currently, system consider the 1st one till December 2011 and for the upcoming months from Jan 2012 to March 2012, it takes second one. This is my problem here.

01---- 2011--5007393-5999999

01---20125016369-5999999

I want the system to consider the 1st one for the period from April 2011 to March 2012 and 2nd one for the period from April 2012 to March 2013. Right now, it takes for the period Jan 2011 to December 2011. Since Jan 2012 has been initiated, system is throwing an error stating to create number ranges for 2012, hence I have created the second one.

Thanking you in advance.

No it depends on your company code settings at IMG.

Go to Logistics-General > Tax on Goods Movements > India > Basic Settings > Maintain Company Code Settings. There select your company code and execute. You can see a field "First Month". If 4 is maintained, then no need to worry about the number range. System will take care of new number range in April.

Dear Mr. Lakshmipathi,

Currently in the company code settings, January month has been maintained as first month. If I change it to "April", what are the impacts that would occur?

Will the change affects any other settings? What are the things I should look into, if I make changes as April?

Regards,
