Alphanumeric serial number increment

Hi All,
Can anyone help me to increment an alphanumeric sequence.
For eq: 12B345A, should become 12B345B,12B345C...,12B345Z after Z it should take the second last character and inceremnt it, say 12B346A,12B346B,12B346C.........
Please let me know whether we can use some Function Modules for this operation or can anyone please help me with a pseudocode for the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Rijish

Try this Code:
data: v_str(7) type c,
      v_hx(1) type x,
      v_len type i,
      v_off type i.
field-symbols <fs>.
v_str = '12B345Z'.
write:/ 'Initial:', v_str.
v_len = strlen( v_str ).
v_off = v_len - 1.
do v_len times.
if v_str+v_off(1) between 'A' and 'Z'.
    if v_str+v_off(1) lt 'Z'.
      assign v_str+v_off(1) to <fs> casting type x.
      add 1 to <fs>.
      exit.
    else.
      v_str+v_off(1) = 'A'.
    endif.
elseif v_str+v_off(1) between '0' and '9'.
    if v_str+v_off(1) lt '9'.
      v_str+v_off(1) = v_str+v_off(1) + 1.
      exit.
    else.
      v_str+v_off(1) = '0'.
    endif.
endif.
v_off = v_off - 1.
enddo.
write:/ 'Final:', v_str.

Automatic Alphanumeric serial number in outbound delivery

Hello All,
Can we able to generate Automatic alphanumerical serial number while doing outbound delivery. At present, last numerical serial number gets picked. i changed the last numeric serial number to alphanumeric in table MASE and tried to generate serial number automatically in outbound delivery, but it generates the last numerical serial number from that alphanumeric serial number.
Thanks & Rgds
Zion
Edited by: george zion on Sep 29, 2011 2:51 PM

Thanks all for ur inputs...
Here i dont want serial number to be generated from last numerical serial number while we click "create serial number automatically" in outbound delivery instead it should get generate from a particular storage location. That is, if a storage location say ZLOC has serial numbers, then the system should pick from that particular location while we click on the automatic button. Is it possible?
Thanks

Reg: Alphanumeric serial number assignment for material

Hi all,
I am able to generate the serial number numerically material wise using IQ01 t code. But my client requirement is alphanumeric serial numbers. Is it possible in standard SAP. Even though some threads are there regarding this issue, i am not able to understand clearly. Please guide me with a detailed explanation.
Regards,
Krishna Chandra

Hello,
Serial numbers can be auto generated or created manually; the length of single number is limited to 18
characters. SAP supports both numeric and alphanumeric serial numbers. Serial number master record
can be created directly prior to business transaction, this would appropriate to have serial numbers already
in system so these can be assigned during business process. Serial numbers can be created individually
(IQ01) or several at the time (IQ04), depending on transaction chosen.
Serial number masters contents following information
->Status information: System status of gives idea about current status and availability of serial
number. User status also used for precise control over serial number movement.
-> Stock information: This shows the plant and storage location of material, also the stock type of
material like unrestricted, quality or blocked stock.
-> Serial number history: The history tells about the past business process with serial number.
Serial numbers are also categorized on broader level like Machine, Customer equipment etc. These categories mainly serve the reporting purpose.
Maintain all the mandatory information and the issue should be solved

Dear Venu,
You want to generate Alphanumeric Serial Number that is possible by following Enhancement for Serial Numbers:
Pls find here some details about generating alphanumeric serial numbers as below :
You can generate alphanumeric serial number with the following BADI / Customer Exit:
Name of Enhancement : IQSM0001
Name of Function Module Exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
Name of Include : ZXQSMU01
ZXQSMU01:
This user exit can be used to create the serial numbers automatically for material of a production order. Number of serial numbers generated will be equal to the total number of quantity. The purpose behind development of this user exit was to attach prefix in each serial number generated.
so as per your requirement you can generate serial number like ABC0001 etc.
Process Steps:
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get serial number profile for a material in respective plant.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If profile is u2018XYZu2019 generate the serial numbers for the given quantity of material in production order.
General Program Structure
For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
1. Get the serial number profile using function module 'MARC_SINGLE_READ' for a material.
2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
3. If the serial number profile is u2018XYZu2019 then generate the serial numbers for the given production order quantity of a material.
4. Concatenate ABC as a prefix to the all generated serial numbers
Provide above details reg. implementation BADI / Enhancement to your ABAPer and go ahead.
You can implement above Enhancement in CMOD.

SD : Serial number in production order

Hi,
SAP doesn't copy my serial number set by function 'SERIAL_LISTE_POST_AU' into the production order. Why is this ?
When i go into the sales order i see the serial number, but after running mrp the number can't be found in the production order. When i go into the 'technical object' screen in the sales order and press 'ok' and then save the sales order, the serial does appear.
with regards.

PS Batch/Droplet serial number not incrementing?

Hello
I'm hoping someone can provide a solution.
I'm trying to make a batch that ill then convert to a droplet so I can then use a watch folder to run the droplet. (Automate as much as possible, as I process a lot of files)
A little how I would process files at present: Open mockup in PS>run batch with action already created, once complete, move onto the next mockup.
Now the master mockup file I use has a smart layer that I place data into, this then transforms the pasted image into a mockup to represent the product.
Now the problem, the serial number does not increment as I'm trying to use a droplet I have to include an open and close command for the mockup, this then stops the number incrementing. (The number must be attached to the PS file). This then keeps exporting the files and over riding 001 every time.
We use extend script with illustrator daily so I'm not sure if using this is a solution?
Any feedback is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

Try using the Image Processor Pro in the action you used to create the droplet. If the output file exist that script will generate the next name. Actions can not use logic on their own. If the droplet you create has a problem naming the output file that it replaces files rather then generating the next name the action you created the droplet needs to use some scripting. See that the output file exists and if it does generate a unique name upping the sequence number till its unique one that does not exists. Actions can not use logic without using a script.
The Image Processor script is not a plug-ij it will always show its dialog. The Image Processor Pro script is a Photoshop Plug-in It will bypass displaying iys dialog when user by playing the action step that was generated recording its used. What it recorded will be used. Once installed the Image Processor Pro script is accessec and recorded usinf menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro... Where the non plug-in Image Processor the ships with Photoshop is Access via menu File>Scripts>Image Processor. It does not have plug-in support programmed in. It can not record settings into an actions step.
When you record the IPP action the dialog will show and IPP will record the settings used into the action step, When the action is played the dialog will not show instead the recorded setting will be use. If you do not turn on that action step dialog.
There is no requirement to use the bridge.... Infact if you use the bridge to select files then use menu tools Photoshop Image processor Pro you will not be using your droplet or action.. If you set up the IPP dialog to use your action that uses IPP I think it may fail recursive use of a plug-in is questionable.

Install acrobat 9 standard to new PC without CD (lost) error invalid serial number

Why I have serial number but cannot install to new PC

So I tried to do some sleuthing on Adobe's FTP site.
They host every single incremental update file to the Adobe Acrobat 9 software, but not the installation software itself! How ridiculous!
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/
I also found out that other users are having the same issue:

Why should I have to waste more time arguing with the TST just to install something that could be public facing to begin with?

Adding a serial number to a template in Numbers

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone may be able to help. I run a small business and would like to create an invoice template in Numbers. Could anyone tell whether there is a way to create a serial or invoice number each time I create a new document from a template?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello
If someone is interested, it would be easy to write an AppleScript to insert a serial number in a document.
The advantage is that it would be a frozen number.
Two ways to do that:
a - generate a number incremented by one each time you run it.
b - generate a string like the one created by the formula I passed.
The behaviour would be slightly different.
The first version assumes that the last used number is stored somewhere.
The second one is not tied to this obligation.
In fact I was able to write two scripts of a special kind.
They may enclosed in a structure changing them in Services.
Instructions to do that are given in the header of the second script.
The first one inserts the long date_time string where you want.
The second insert a serial number built according to the currentdatetime.
--[SCRIPT insertDateTime]
on process()
set curDate to (current date) as Unicode text
--return curDate
end process
--[SCRIPT]
--[SCRIPT insertSerialNumber]
(* From the Script Editor, save this script as a Script
Then pack it as a Service using the tool which you may download from:
http://wafflesoftware.net/thisservice/
Apply the setting: Produces output.
The Service will be directly created, installed and activated
then working with a Services aware application,
select an insertion point then go to
menu theApplication >Services > pasteSerialNumber
will insert the serial number.
on process()
set cd to current date
set serial to (year of cd as text) & text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & (month of cd as number)) & text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & day of cd) & "_" & text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & hours of cd) & text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & minutes of cd) & text -2 thru -1 of ("0" & seconds of cd)
--return serial
end process

Runtime Error / Invalid Serial Number

I have Tech Comm Suite 3 on Windows XP SP3. Things were running fine yesterday when I left the office. This morning I am getting a "Runtime Error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." when I attempt to launch either FrameMaker or Photoshop. For FrameMaker, if I leave this message alone, the application attempts to start, but then displays a "Your serial number is no longer valid. Try reinstalling FrameMaker using a valid serial number." message. What does all of this mean? And why is it suddenly appearing today?

So I tried to do some sleuthing on Adobe's FTP site.
They host every single incremental update file to the Adobe Acrobat 9 software, but not the installation software itself! How ridiculous!
