OBR2 - Reset the number ranges if required

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I had created 3 accounts by mistake and I am trying to use transaction OBR2 to delete them.

When I execute the transaction I got the below error:

Message no. BL001 - Reset the number ranges if required

Even though there is not any posting on the accounts, I am not able to delete them.

Another point is that the company code is not productive. The test has been doing on Dev environment.

Does anybady has any concern about that?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Hi,

I have similar issue while deleting the 5 General ledger accounts created in chart of accounts in the Dev environment.

On the analysis , it is found that 5 General ledger accounts were Profit & loss account so, Cost elements were created automatically for these accounts. So, we have first deleted the cost elements in transaction KA04 individually and found that one GL was extended to company code. so, we deleted the same before deleting from the chart of account.

Hope this will resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

RF_BELEG object belongs to document interval number range.

Actually the needed object is regarding the chart of account group.

you mean the Account group of the chart of accounts?

try the following path:

spro - Financial Accounting (New) - General Ledger Accounting (New) - Master Data - G/L Accounts - Preparations - Define Account Group

Hi Carlos,

Actually I know about the definition related to account group, but the problem is how to reset the interval?

Finally i think i understood what you mean, by running some tests myself.

please after running tcode OBR2 check in tcode FS00 if the accounts are already deleted.

even though it displays that error, it still allows you to delete the master records, that is just a reminder for the customers and vendors deletion.

Hi Daniel,

System will allow to delete GL master through OBR2 if no value has been flowed in that GL.In Deletion depth tab you have to select with general master data in company code and give the company code in which you want to delete the GL first check in test run if data displayed is ok please execute for final run the errror coming to you might me a warning message

Hello Daniel,

Make sure you untick the "test run" box at the bottom.

the number range must be reset in case you want future accounts to be created "overwritting" the account numbers of the accounts you have deleted, although i don't think you need to reset them, moreover, because you are in a DEV system.

Hi Carlos,

Yes, the "test run" box is unticked.

How can I reset the number range?

Thanks

try transaction code SNRO and choose the number range object correspondent to the master data you want to clear, then just type company code and choose modify.

because it is sometimes difficult to know which number range object you should choose, you can also try to search where to change it directly in SPRO.

but before all this, i suggest you run program RSSNR0T1 through transaction SE38, it looks for inconsistencies in number ranges intervals.
