As SAP Expert has already emphasised several times, aligning objects in different SAP systems is a very important part of the multi-system landscape maintenance.
We have discussed the fact that the transport system is the most usual way to move configuration changes throughout the landscape, and how you can align certain master data.
However, some objects in SAP require “special treatment” when moving them across. One of them is tax code, and you can read about the process of moving Tax Codes and Substitutions / Validations across the landscape.
Today we will discuss another “special treatment” object – number range.
Number range is an object in SAP that is assigned to another object that requires automatic or manual numbering. A good example is document number range. You specify different document types, and assign number ranges to them. Then you need to maintain number ranges separately â assigning lower and upper limit of each of them, splitting by company code, year and assigning other parameters. You have an option to edit “status” of number range too â the last used number for automatic numbering. Opposite to many other configuration objects, you will not be asked for a transport request for number range when saving data in Development system. It means that you have 2 options to maintain number range:
You need to decide yourself, based on your project needs and approaches, what is the best option for you. If you decide to use transport requests, SAP Expert can give you some recommendations.
Next time we will talk about other objects with “special treatment”.
