ALE migration and number range

This is the first time I'm using ALE (Application Link Enabling) as a tool to migrate data from one SAP client to another SAP client.

After finding the trouble i mentioned on my previous post. I decided to check the number range on vendor and customer master data. Result : the last number on the number range status didn't match the last number created in real. This conclude that ALE treating the document or master data's number as an external number and did not create any update at the number range status.

This can lead to an error during operational transactions. Be sure to check and update the number range status manually after you migrated data using ALE.

I'm not really sure if this applies to every ALE program, but at least i checked on Purchasing Info Record, Customer Master Data and Vendor Master Data. If you have time, better go and check on yours too ;)
