Symptom
- Configuring material number ranges with external number assignment and planning to use only one material type (for example, HAWA).
- Default number ranges in the public cloud system appear non-deletable; user wants to remove other number range types so material codes can start from 1.
- In SSCUI 102282 “Number Ranges for Each Material Type”, after selecting Intervals (change/pencil), the menu path to delete intervals is missing.
- Questions raised: whether predefined number ranges can be deleted, and whether multiple number ranges can be assigned to a single material type.
Environment
- SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the app “Manage Your Solution”.
- Search for the SSCUI “Number Ranges for Each Material Type” (SSCUI 102282).
- Click the “Intervals” (change/pencil) button.
- Observe that the menu path to delete intervals is missing.
Cause
- Standard system behavior: deletion of number range intervals is not available in SSCUI/Configuration Activity 102282 “Number Ranges for Each Material Type”.
Resolution
- Deletion of predefined number range intervals is not supported in SSCUI 102282; do not attempt to remove delivered intervals.
- To start numbering from a desired value (for example, from 1) or to apply your own format, create a new custom number range interval (for example, with a Z identifier) and assign it to the required material type.

- Ensure that a single material type has at most one internal and one external number range assigned.
- Make sure the new interval does not overlap with any existing interval; overlapping ranges cannot be saved.
- If needed, assign the same number range to different material types; that is supported.
