Number Range Object

By Suresh Kumar Parvathaneni

 Creation of a Number range object:

1.      Go to transaction SNRO (Simple way to remember is SapNumberRangeObject).

 

 

2.      Enter the number range object name and press CREATE.

3.      Enter the description, Long text and Number Length domain andWarning % as shown below:

 

 

Warning% à Assume that an interval is defined from 1 to 1000. If you want to issue a warning at the number 900, enter 10 (%) here.

4.      Press SAVE. You would get a prompt as shown below:

 

5.      Press YES and assign the object to a local class.

6.      Now click on “Number Ranges” button on the application toolbar.

 

7.      Click on “Change Intervals”.

 

 

 

8.      Click on “Insert Interval”.

9.      Enter the values as shown below:

 

10. Click “Insert” and then SAVE. The number range object is generated. 

Testing the Number Range Object: 

We can use the function module, NUMBER_GET_NEXT, to get the next number of any number range object. 

Following is a test program to get the next available number of the object created above:  

REPORT zsnro_test.

DATA:
NUMBER TYPE I.

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
