S4HANA : Data Migration of Business partner in 1610 - Upload Template and determination of Number Range


  Migrating Business Partner in S/4HANA ,  we use a tool called LTMC.  In this blog , i would like 

to highlight the Content of Upload file in S/4HANA 1610 and how Number Range is determined .


above is the file Content which is Upload template. In-fact this is template from 1610 version of S/4HANA.

Now if you see, we can enter the Customer number ( either for GreenField Implementation/Brown Field Implementation) and Account Group.  We dont have any field in S/41610 to enter Number Range Or BP Grouping.

Only option we have is, Once is file has uploaded to the Migration Project and once you start the Project, in the next step system prompts to select either Internal Number assignment Or External Number assignment.


Based on the Option, we have chose system will get the number Range from the Configuration of BP Grouping

Let us see how the Number Range is Configured in Business Partner Approach

IMG--->CROSS APPLICATION COMPONENT--->BUSINESS PARTNER--BASIC SETTINGS-->DEFINE GROUPING AND NUMBER RANGE ASSIGNMENT



we have a number Range option as INTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING & EXTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING

When you select internal number assignment in the Upload file, system will take INTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING--> BP Grouping assigned to it


When you select  External Number Assignment in the Upload file, system will take EXTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING--> BP Grouping assigned to it

always, there will be one Grouping assigned as INTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING and one for EXTERNAL STANDARD GROUPING

please test from your end and put your comments

this setting is valid till 1610 and 1709.  Later there is a change in the file, which we will discuss separately.

thank you
