External Number Ranges for Legacy Data

[Former Member]

Hi Experts !

We have planned to perform the consolidation activities from balance carry forward  on 01/2014 and other consolidation tasks till 11/2014 in the new BCS system.

My client wants the same document numbers for the as in the legacy system for easy reference.

I suggested External Number Range so that the customer can give her own document number upon saving the document.

This process of external number range allocation will be done till 11/2014, and from 12/2014, it should become automatic document number generated by the SAP system.

Hence, my suggestion is to use external number range till 11/2014.

Find out the last document number posted for each number range as at the end of 11/2014 for example 10000560 is the last BCS document posted.

For 12/2014 - give the start number as 10000561 to 19999999 - switch over to automatic document number assignment by the SAP system.

Please suggest, if there is a better and easier way of doing this....
