Define Number Ranges for Each Material Type

In this step, you define the type of number assignment and the number range intervals for material master records. When creating a material master record, you must assign it a unique number. There are two ways of doing this:

• internal number assignment

In this case, a number within the number range interval allowed is assigned by the SAP R/3 System.

• external number assignment

Here, the user assigns a number within the number range interval allowed. You can define the intervals for external number assignment numerically and alphanumerically.

TATRA  uses external number ranges.
