Creating a function module to auto generate an unique form id

[Former Member]

hi, i'm currently working on a form submission process. I'm facing trouble creating a function module to create an auto generate unique form id.

i know something about the number range object to generate the next number. But i need to include the year with the generated id like YYYY_XXXX (X - to be the number generated).

Anyway in achieving it? Could anyone provide the steps?

Thanks alot in advance!!!

Hi,

you can define your own number range which will be distinguished according to fiscal year. Then you can simply define a number interval for each fiscal year as from number 2010000001 to number 201099999 and so on. So you will call standard function NUMBER_GET_NEXT and you will pass current year using parameter TOYEAR to get next number. Have a look at [SAP documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/EN/2a/fa02e3493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm].

Hi,

Use NUMBER_GET_NEX FM to generate a number and find the Year you want either from system date or Fiscal Year( which ever is required by you and then Concatenate them together with an Underscore in between)

Hi

Goto SNRO T code and create one number range object.

use this FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT to get tht number in your program.

Take the sy-datum field write an offset to get year into one field.

now concatenate the year and number which u get from the above FM and dsiplay

Hi,

check following link to understand how does generating numbers from number intervals work:

[ How the Number Range Buffer Works|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/95/3d5540b8cdcd01e10000000a155106/content.htm]

and also check: [Maintaining Number Ranges|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1f/8311204bc511d189750000e8322d00/content.htm]

You can find useful step-by-step guide here: [How to Create you own Number Range ? (SNRO) |http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=50004015]

And as You are a very new to ABAP, search also [BC - ABAP Programming|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/BCABA/BCABA.pdf] for CONCATENATE statement. But You will find much more here.
