Generating a sequence number in PI

[Former Member]

Hi,

A sequential Number that groups transactions together to form a logical group. In my interface the SAP PI will generate this sequence number. Each distinct order number will get another sequence number (so all Sales order header & detail records can be grouped together).

Can someone give me some idea as to how could i ac

Hi,

The best way is using number ranges on ABAP stack. Go to transaction code SNRO, define a custom number range. Then, wrap function module NUMBER_GET_NEXT_V1 with an RFC enabled function.

Hi Sahil,

You can generate sequence number using a RFC lookup.

Keeping information about the previous sequence number generated in a UDF will not be feasible.

You can use counter, message id, or UDF to generate sequence number.

Hi Farooq,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you pleae give some example for using UDF or message ID for the above requirement as to how to build this?

Thanks

It's better to maintain a table in SAP and use RFC / BAPI to get the sequence number. If you use UDF in PI, then you might be at risk or losing the seq num, because if the PI server is re-started, the sequence number will be lost.
