You have two ways of assigning number range :
Internal number assignment
In this case, a number within the number range interval allowed is assigned by
the SAP R/3 System.
External number assignment
Here, the user assigns a number within the number range interval allowed. You
can define the intervals for external number assignment numerically and
alphanumerically.
You can assign one or more material types to each group.
If you assign just one material type to a group, you can define both an
internal and an external number range interval for the material type.
If you group together more than one material type, you can define an internal
and an external number range interval here too. This allows several material
types to have the same number range intervals.
