• Key Concepts:
  Number range objects are used in SAP Auto-ID Enterprise (AIE) to define the range of numbers that can be used for a particular purpose. This could include product numbers, customer numbers, or any other type of number that needs to be tracked. The number range object defines the start and end of the range, as well as the increment size.
  
  How to use it:
  Number range objects are used in SAP AIE to define the range of numbers that can be used for a particular purpose. To create a number range object, you must first define the start and end of the range, as well as the increment size. Once this is done, you can assign the number range object to a particular application or process. This will ensure that only numbers within the specified range are used for that application or process.
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  When creating a number range object, it is important to consider how many numbers you will need for your application or process. If you overestimate, you may end up with unused numbers in your range; if you underestimate, you may run out of numbers before your application or process is complete. It is also important to consider how often the numbers will be used; if they are used frequently, it may be beneficial to set a smaller increment size.
