Maintain the number range intervals for the HU identification and indicate whether the interval is an internal or an external number range.

Step 7.1.	Assign Number Range Intervals to Packaging Material Types
IMG	SCM Extended Warehouse Management- EWM-Cross Process Settings-Handling Units-External Identification-Assign Number Range Intervals to Packaging Material Types

For each warehouse number, assign relevant intervals that you have previously defined (Step 8) to the packaging material types that are numbered by means of the number range interval.
