SAP Note 1145088 - Number ranges of package numbers in service

Component : Procurement Document Methods - BAPIs

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1145088 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses an issue where BAPIs such as bapi_po_create1 and bapi_requisition_create fail to create purchasing documents with limits and/or services due to pre-existing package numbers in the database. The core problem lies in the use of dummy package numbers by the purchasing BAPIs, which overlap with real numbers stored in the database. The solution proposed is to ensure the number range for 'SERVICE' package numbers is configured correctly in the SNUM transaction, specifically keeping the reserved range (for instance, 0100000000 - 0199999999) clear for BAPI usage to avoid conflicts and errors in document creation.
