  Manage Next Numbers is a feature of SAP's Digital Manufacturing Execution (MFG-DM-ME) component that allows users to manage and control the numbering of production orders. It enables users to define and maintain a range of numbers for each production order type, as well as to assign the next available number from the range to a new production order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Manage Next Numbers, users must first define a range of numbers for each production order type. This can be done in the Customizing application by selecting the “Manage Next Numbers” option. Once the range is defined, users can assign the next available number from the range to a new production order. This can be done by selecting the “Assign Next Number” option in the production order creation screen. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a range of numbers for each production order type, it is important to ensure that there are enough numbers in the range to cover all potential orders. It is also important to ensure that the numbers are assigned sequentially, as this will make it easier to track and manage production orders.
