Customer to BP Number Range

[Former Member]

I'm trying to synchronize customer to BP within R/3 system financials.

The existing customer numbers are not sequential, meaning there are missing numbers in the sequence. For instance the customers are created like this.

1

2

3

9

10

When I synchronize business partner, the BP creates the respective customer data but with sequential number range.

1

2

3

4

5

Note: I have set the external flag in the BP number range. and assigned the account group with the respective number range.

Please advise.

Thanks.

You also have to check the configuration under IMG -> Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Number Ranges and Groupings. "Sold To", "Bill To" and / or "Payer" Groupings should be aligned to the same Number Range in table TB001 (V_TB001) as the Customer Account groups and in your case, marked as "external" where applicable. Then go through the steps in IMG -> Cross-Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization for "Synchronization Control" and "Number Assignment" entries.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your answer. I had issue with the numbering. I undid the above-mentioned config changes and maintained them again.

Only the number assignment for Customer to BP needs to be set with the checkbox "Same No" and it works perfect.

Cheers.
