Define Number Ranges for Vendor Master Records

In this tutorial, we will learn how to define the Numbering range to Vendor master records.   When a vendor master record is created, a unique number identifying the master record is assigned. The number comes from the number range provided for the account group.

• Internal number assignment : Here the SAP R/3 System automatically assigns a consecutive number from the number range defined.
• External number assignment :  Here you specify a number from the external number range.
