BADI or other solution to automatically assign object id number for Object

[siowfong_chen]

Hi! When we create an IBase via IB51 and assign individual object, the standard system will require an object id to be assigned. This has to be an external number. We are exploring the possibilities of automatically assigning a number range for it. I know what functional module to generate the next number range. However, I have more problem at the transactional level, as in while assigning an object, I must enter a number and I do not know whether there is a way to do the automatic assignment at that point in time. Has anyone tried to do something similar?

Any ideas are welcomed.

Cheers!

SF,

We had exactly similar requirement as yours, but unfortunately we did not find any solution then. So to meet the client's requirement, we created a custom program to create IObjects. It was a manual process and the users used to assign the Iobject number created to the Ibase using IB51 transaction manually.

Did you check if BADI_IBASE_ADDINFO work for you?

Hi! It looks like it may be a bit too late as the BADI is called only after the object is created.

Has anybody else tried to automate the object id creation in the IBase?
