Hi PS Experts,

I need that default WBS which are created should appear with separation of - by default.

EG-

For exmaple now when i am creating wbs for project G-shift name is coming like (Default)

1)G-shift1

1.1)G-shift11

2)G-shift2

2.1)G-shift21

I need it to be like

1)G-shift-1

1.1)G-shift-1-1

2)G-shift-2

2.1)G-shift-2-1

Thanks

Suraj

Hi Suraj,

Change coding mask in Tcode : OPSJ   G-XXXXX-0-0-0-0-0

It will work for your requirement.

Hi Narsimha ,

HI Suraj,

Then its no clear how you want to structure your project.

The other way to handle this situation is to insert validation rule such that the user is not allowed to save WBS element until they use this structure the way you want.

Or you need to use some user exits to achieve this functionality.

But still using OPSJ as standard functionality, will be suggested and you can standardized the naming conventions in business process, such as "X" is fixed.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Suraj,

With out coding mask for G you cannot create the project definition starts with "G" ,then what is requirement.

Define Project Coding mask  in OPSJ

like earlier said, G-XXXXX-0-0-0-0-0

XXXXX Length 5 - Shift is 5 characters

EX : If you create project like G-shift

                                   level 1           G-shift-1

                                  Level 2           G-shift-1.1

                                 Level 1            G-shift-2

                                 Level 2            G-shift-2.2

Project coding mask will decide how the project definition and WBS will be.

First Finalize

1. Length

2. Levels of WBS

Coding mask will allow 24 characheterstics.

Where" XXX" stands for alpha numeric it will allow you to create with Alphabets or numbers Like "abc123".

Where "0000" stands for numerical it will allow only numbers like "12345"

By the above you decide.

Length and Levels of WBS

Hi Suraj,

From your project screen shot it looks like your Project Coding is defined in such way that it will start with G-XXXXX.

It is not advisable to change the coding mask once you have created the Operative Projects. Though system will not stop you altering the sequence of coding mask. It will have a impact on your already created projects..

Why is this being done now? Make sure you have a very valid business case to embark on such a configuration change.

HI Suraj,

You can make settings in coding mask as G-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. The separation "-" will be taken care by the coding mask.

Can you show the coding mask implemented in your system?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Narendra,

I have not defined any codeing mask for G- so it is taking by default.
