Define a number range and use that to supply unique numbers.

Have a look at transaction SNR0

Hi,

On one way you can create unique number by selecting the maximum employee number before creation of a record and then increment one to assign to the new record.

The other way you can create a number range in tcode SNRO and use FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT to get the next number from the number range.

Search SDN with NUMBER_GET_NEXT, you will get example codes.
