Chapter 14 ■ Defining FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
■■Note
The SAP system does not allow number intervals to overlap. If your number interval does overlap,
the system will issue a warning that the interval is already available. Find another number range that does not
overlap.
It is also possible to choose from existing number range intervals instead of creating your own.
To create a number ranges for the domestic and foreign vendor account groups that you created earlier,
following this menu path: IMG: Financial Accounting (new) ➤ Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
➤ Vendor Accounts ➤ Master Data ➤ Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data ➤ Create Number
Ranges for Vendor Accounts. Or use transaction code XKN1.
The Vendor Number Ranges screen is displayed and contains three buttons. The first button creates
new number ranges, the second button displays existing number ranges, and the third button displays your
number range status. To create number ranges, click the
button on the screen. This will take
you to the Maintain Number Range Intervals screen. Click the
button at the top of the screen. The
Insert Interval screen pops up. This is where you create the number ranges for your vendor account groups.
Using the following information, specify your vendor account group number range intervals.
Using the following data, create another number range:
No: Enter a number, such as 03, that defines your number range sequence.
From Number: Enter a number, such as 03000000000, that you want to use to
start a number range.
To Number: Enter the number, such as 03999999999, that you want to end the
number range you have defined.
After specifying your number ranges, click the Insert button on the bottom-right side of the Insert
Interval screen. This will move your number range to the Existing Number Range section onscreen.
■■Tip
If you are having problems specifying your number range intervals because of overlap issues, skip
this section and go to the next section, entitled “Assign Number Ranges to Vendor Account Groups,” to assign
an existing number range to your vendor account groups. This action will allow you to carry on with your
configuration.
Save your number range intervals. The Transport Number Range Intervals screen pops up with a
message. Ignore the message and click the Insert button on the bottom-right side of the screen to confirm
your number range intervals.
As part of this exercise, repeat the steps in the section entitled “Create Number Ranges for Vendor
Accounts” to create another number range interval using the following information:
No: Enter a number, such as 04, that defines your number range sequence.
From Number: Enter a number, such as 04000000000, that you want to use to
start a number range.
To Number: Enter a number, such as 04999999999, that you want to end the
number range you defined.
