Hi,
From SAP Note;-452127
Summary
Symptom
In the conventional invoice verification (Transaction MR01) a document for which there was an MM view and an FI view was usually created. The document number was determined company code-specifically.
The Logistics Invoice Verification generates two documents: an MM document and in the standard case an FI document. The MM document number is determined company code-independently in the standard system and the document number of the FI follow-on documents are determined separately and company code-dependently. The document numbers of these documents do not necessarily have to agree with one another.
Other terms
RF_BELEG, RE_BELEG, MIRO, MR11, number range, number assignment
Reason and Prerequisites
In general, the number ranges for MM documents and FI documents are independent. In Release 4.6C and higher, however, you can make settings so that
the MM document number is copied to the FI document so that the MM and FI documents have the same number. This is possible for the MM document for both internal and external number assignment. The details are described below under "Case A";
the MM document number is automatically assigned by the system depending on the company code. This is possible for internal number assignment for the MM document. The details are described below under "Case B".
Combining both solutions, that is, copying a company-code-dependent MM document number to the FI document, is possible for internal number assignment only. The details are described below under "Case C".
Solution
Case A (parallel number assignment MM-FI):
If you set external number assignment for the number ranges of the document types of financial accounting, the number of the MM document is copied to the leading FI document. That is, the number interval set for the MM document must be contained in the external FI number range.
Case B (company-code-dependant number assignment MM):
Below, the required settings are shown using an example with three company codes.
For the Logistics Invoice Verification create a number range for each company code (Transaction SNUM, object RE_BELEG, 'Number ranges' pushbutton). Example:
No Year From number To number Current number Ext
06 9999 6000000000 6999999999 6000000000
07 9999 7000000000 7999999999 7000000000
08 9999 8000000000 8999999999 8000000000
The assignment of the MM number ranges to the company code used can only be effected via a customer enhancement (Transaction CMOD or in the Customizing of invoice verification: 'Develop enhancements for invoice verivication'). The corresponting SAP enhancement is LMR1M003, function module EXIT_SAPLMRME_003 (Include ZXM08U14). You can find sample source code in this note under 'Correction instructions". This source code can be adjusted to the customer's needs, if required. User exit LMR1M003 is only run during internal number assignment.
In the example, MM number range '06' is later to be assigned to company code '0001', number range '07' to company code '0002' and number range '08' to company code '0003'.
To avoid gaps in the document number assignment, deactivate the buffering for object RE_BELEG in Transaction SNRO.
Case C (company-code-dependent and parallel MM-FI number assignment): For this purpose, in addition to the settings described under "B", you need to create one FI number range with the same number range number in all company codes, where the number interval of the associated MM document must be included (Transaction SNUM, object RF_BELEG, button 'Number ranges'). Mark external number assignment. Example:
Company code 0001:
No Year From number To number Current number Ext
11 9999 6000000000 6999999999 X
Company code 0002:
No Year From number To number Current number Ext
11 9999 7000000000 7999999999 X
Company code 0003:
No Year From number To number Current number Ext
11 9999 8000000000 8999999999 X
Afterwards assign the newly defined number range '11' to all document types that are used in the MM invoice verification, using Transaction OBA7.
In the case of cross-company code invoices, only one MM document is generated with multiple FI documents (one per company code). To enable this, the external FI number ranges must be large enough to cover all MM number ranges. In the above example, therefore, the FI number ranges would have to be set in each case to the interval 6000000000 - 8999999999.
Due to the restriction described in "Case B", this scenario is only possible with internal number assignment for the MM document. If the number assignment for the MM document is to be effected externally, the MM number can be copied to the FI document as described in "Case A". The user should make sure, however, that he/she enters a number fitting the corresponding company code. An automatic check as to whether the entered number fits the company code is not possible at this point. Thus, the MM number range should be defined sufficiently large to include the intervals of all FI company codes. Entering a document number that does not fit the number range might lead to an error message during posting.
