Configuring Number Range

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to analyze the purpose and key components of configuring number range.

Introduction

You will learn how to configure number ranges in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution. This application lets you assign number ranges that can be used to record document numbers. You'll create new entries, specifying the entity, index, validity, range, and increment. You'll also learn to activate and deactivate these entries, providing reasons as needed.

Number Range

In the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution, this application can be found under the Configuration tab or use Configure Number Range in the open search section to access it. This application is to assign a series of numbers with in a range (From and To) and the corresponding object will consume this number ranges to record the document numbers.

The image shows the Configuration menu in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution, with two options: Configure Flow Section Types and Configure Number Range.

Configuring Number Range

Click on Create as pointed in the figure above on how to create a new entry.

The configuration is dependent on the Entity picked while number range entry creation.

Entity - Creation of a new number range entry requires the entity against which the range should be created
Index - Incremental number depending on the existing number range entries for the same entity
Valid until - A validity end date (year)
From number - the start number of the number range sequence
To number - the end number of the number range sequence
Increment - a numeric that drives the number range increment that determines the next available number

The image shows the Configure Number Range application in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution. It displays a form for creating a new number range object, including fields for entering the entity name, index, and valid until date. The form also includes a general information section with fields for the from-number, to-number, and increment. The application also provides a Create button for saving the new number range object.

Activation and Deactivation

When a new number range entry is saved, the status is set to Active by default. At any point in time, the number range entry can be deactivated by providing the right Deactivation Reason and optional comments. In the same way, deactivated entries can be activated by providing the right Activation Reason.

The image shows the Configure Number Range application in the SAP Cell and Gene Therapy Orchestration solution. It displays a list of number range objects, including details such as the entity name, index, and valid until date. The details of the Order number range object are shown, including its general information and change log. The application also provides options to edit and deactivate the selected number range object.
