Alpha numeric number range configuration is possible in S4 HANA ?

[former_member1261536]

Hello Gurus,

I want to define material numbering schema in alpha numeric format.

For Ex: For Raw Material number range should be from RM000000 till RM999999. Similar way, for Packaging Materials, I need number range from PM000000 till PM999999.

My last number was RM000123. So, can system automatically assign RM000124 as number to the next material.

Is it possible to configure in S4 HANA ?

My consultant is saying that alpha numeric numbering system is possible but automatic assigning the next number to the material is not possible in SAP.

Pls guide.

Regards,

Rohan

I'd say your consultant is right based on what I know from R/3 and ECC, but I didn't look if there was a new feature in S/4HANA.

It seems an MM question, you should better tag it with "MM (Materials Management)".

(with ABAP you can create material with BAPI and passing material number as you wish via external numbering + your own number range for 000000-999999 and add the prefix "RM")

Look at following Customer Exits

MGA00002 Number Assignment

• EXIT_SAPLMG02_001 Internal Material Number Assignment
• EXIT_SAPLMG02_002 External Material Number Assignment

Thank you Sandra.

Let me see if I can tag MM to my query.

Anyway, Raymond has indicated an MM ABAP user exit, so both ABAP and MM are valid.
