Next Number Maintenance fails to save with error message 1012

[MiguelSanchez]

System: SAP ME 5.2.2.0

I am trying to define the numbering pattern for SFC in Next Number Maintenance (Number Type = SFC Release). The online documentation describes the replaceable parameters that can be used as prefixes or suffixes.

If I use one of the following replaceable parameters:

%ITEM_GROUP_BO.(1)%

%ITEM_GROUP_BO.(2)%

%PARENT_SHOP_ORDER_BO.(1)%

%PARENT_SHOP_ORDER_BO.(2)%

%SHOP_ORDER_BO.(2)%

%SITE%

%USER_BO.(1)%

%USER_BO.(2)%

ME fails to save the configuration with the error:

You cannot enter the following characters in key fields: . (Message 1012)

Thanks for your help,

Miguel,

This looks like a bug. These replaceable parameters should all be allowed. You should log a support ticket for this issue to get an official investigation started.

There is a patch 1 to SAP ME 5.2 SP2 available on SMP that resolves this issue.
