Number Range - Toyear issues

[former_member192842]

Dear Experts,

I have created a number range object "ZDEMO" with the following properties.

1. Subobject - J_1IEXGRPS(Excise Group)

2. To year - 'X'

3. Number length domain - NUM4

4. No interval rolling - 'X'.

5. No buffering.

Then created a interval only for the year 2012 and ExciseGroup(sub object)  - 10 as

No     Year     From     To     CurrentNo

01     2012     0001     9999     0

After creating, i called the number range through report program using the FM - "NUMBER_GET_NEXT".

For the year 2012, number range is working fine. But when i call the same number range for the year 2011, instead of throwing an error, the number range

is generated from the interval created for 2012. Year validation is not happening.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Regards

Anand

Can you remove the To year check box and check?

[former_member192842]

On removing the To year check box, the year option gets removed while creating the Number range interval.

Seems to be the standard behavior, SAP look for the first range with year greater or equal to the requested year (so the "TO YEAR" name of the field)

-> Your created range is valid til 2012 so valid for 2012, 2011, 2010, etc. but not for 2013, 2014.

* From include LSNR3F01 / in NUMBER_GET_NEXT FG
      select * from nriv where object    = p_object
                            and subobject = p_subobject
                            and nrrangenr = p_nr_range_nr
                            and toyear   >= p_toyear
                     order by primary key.                "#EC PORTABLE
         g_found = yes.
         exit.
      endselect.

If you want to prohibit 2011 (and previous years) create range for 2011 with no free interval, (set current number equal to maximum number)

Thanks for the reply. As you suggested, problem solved when the previous years was set to the maximum current number. But please do clarify, on whether this is the right way or the only solution to overcome this problem.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

This is the correct and only way.

(the year is only a "to date", this enabled to manage year dependant range as not dependant creating a year 9999 record)
