Riya,

One way of restricting the WBS length is by coding mask.

By using a coding mask the second level WBS element should always have the same length for the particular Project ID.

Example for the second level validation is as below

Prerequiste : PRPS-STUFE = '2'

Check : PRPS-POSID :06-11: <> '000000' AND

PRPS-POSID :12-14: = '000'

Message : As you define

In this example, it is assumed that your Project has only two level WBS elements. Project ID is 5-digit length, 1st level has 6-digit length and 2nd level has 3-digit length.

Your Coding mask would be ABCDE.000000.000

Dont forget to give the first level validation.

Hope this helps

Why don't you do it via Coding Mask, it would restrict the number of digits for WBS. For ex- Define in Tcode OPSJ. L-XXXX.XXXXXXX. Give your Project definition and level 1 WBS as first part of Coding Mask (L-XXXX) or whatever makes sense for you and level 2 as L-XXXX.XXXXXXX. Now even if you would try to add or remove digit/s from level 2, it won't allow you.

Hope it helps.

Hi Nidhi,

Find attached Screen shot of error.

As I explained earlier, my config. was right & also maintained validation in the project profile. Created new proj. and arrived at the error given.

Tell me why u asked to put 13 in FROM & blank in TO?

and a space in the constant? what does it indicate?

Thanks,

RIYA
