2. Define Number Ranges

Transaction Code: IMG Menu Path: SPRO Cross-Application Components SAP Business Partner Business Partner Basic Settings Number Ranges and Groupings Define Number Ranges

In this activity, you define number ranges for business partners. The defined number ranges are assigned to groupings in the Define groupings and assign number ranges activity. Number ranges for business partners are valid throughout a client. Since we need to populate the same Customer Number (that is created in FI-AR) to the Business Partner, we should give the same number range here as that exists in the FIAccounts Receivable module. Note To check the existing number for the FI-AR customers, go to Financial Accounting (New) Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Customer Accounts Master Data Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data Create Number Ranges for Customer Accounts

Similarly check the Number range assignment to the customer account group
