Serial Number In Device Object

Former Member

Hi,

The serial number field SERNR, in Emigall is by default a generate and required field.

But according to my requirements, I have to get it generated internally because of which the processing rules are only Generate. But if i keep it only generate and initial, SAP does not generate the serial number automatically.

Also if i keep it as Generate I cannot specifiy Initial as a processing rule. Transfer is also not an option as i am not providing it in my input file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Karan

If you use standard internal numbering for the serial nr, try putting the emigall field on "KSM key", as if it was any other object using internal numbering. (It's just a guess, haven't done this myself)

If you're using custom code to do the internal serial numbering, insert that code into the emigall field and leave put on "rule" and required.

Good luck!
