Assign Number Ranges to Company Code

From the IMG screen: Financial accounting è Financial accounting global settings è Document è Document number ranges è Define document number ranges

Triple click on Define document number ranges and when this screen appears enter your company code, then click on the interval button with the pencil. Enter 01 in the number column, the year in the year field and a range of 1 to 0099999999 in the appropriate from and to fields. SAP will use these number ranges as areas to store accounting actions. For example, to post a payment, a number range 15 must exist. Any posting action will be assigned a number within the number range you designate for range 15. It is recommended that the following number ranges are created: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, X1, and X2. Keep in mind that the actual range of numbers can not overlap. For example, you may want to set range number one at 0000000001 to 0099999999. Number range two can then be 0100000000 to 0199999999. Range three would be 0200000000 to 0299999999 and so on. Different ranges can be used, but make sure they do not overlap, and give sufficient space for a years worth of transactions.

After creating the first number range, click save. To enter another number range, click the insert interval button, and enter the information for the new range. Repeat this process until all necessary ranges have been created. If you discover that you need additional ranges in the future, you can return to the create ranges area and insert the new ranges.
