How a document number is Generated.

Former Member — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 10:38:28 GMT

Hi,

When I park a document using FV60, how the document number is generated?

I want to know the program name and function(subroutine) which will generate this number.

If any one knows please let me know.

It will be very helpful.

Thank you in advance,

With Regards,

Vimal

SAP uses number ranges. So you need to find out the number range object and interval (transaction SNRO).

With function NUMBER_GET_NEXT a new number is taken from the number range object and interval.

Hi Vimal,

Try below logic!!!!!!

Create your number range through transaction (SNRO / SNUM). Over there in the domain level pass the variable (say vbeln) and give your interval.

Now in your report where you want to generate a new document number, use the FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT .



DATA: l_no  TYPE inri-nrrangenr,
            l_obj TYPE inri-object    VALUE 'ZSDIDA'.

   CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
     EXPORTING
       nr_range_nr             = l_no
       object                  = l_obj
     IMPORTING
       number                  = g_number
     EXCEPTIONS
       interval_not_found      = 1
       number_range_not_intern = 2
       object_not_found        = 3
       quantity_is_0           = 4
       quantity_is_not_1       = 5
       interval_overflow       = 6
       buffer_overflow         = 7
       OTHERS                  = 8.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.

     MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
             WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

   ENDIF.

Over here l_no is the range sl no. & l_obj is the name of range which is created through transaction SNRO/SNUM.

Hope this will help you to resolve the issue & close the thread.

You will find the call in function PRELIMINARY_POSTING_FB01 which in turn calls RF_GET_DOCUMENT_NUMBER. The number range object is RF_BELEG. Normally, I would tell posters to use SE30 to find it but SE30 doesn't do a very good job of capturing the FV60 transaction completely.
