Auto number generation in custom table

Hi,
Is it possible to auto generate number in custom table. My requirement is to generate the number once anyone makes entry in the table. I guess there is a way to put code in tables but I have no clue how that can be acheived. If anyone has such kind of experince please share with me.
Regards
Ria

Hi Ria Sen,
Please follow the steps as below,
1. Use Select single Max Query to select the latest maximum number
2. Check <variable> is initial or not.
3.if variable is initial assign the number which will start from your number range.
4.else increment the variable values by 1 and update the new range values.
Ex: Select Single Max ( Field for Number) from <table>
into <variable>.
if <variable> is initial .
<variable> = 'Starting number from your range'.
else.
<variable> = <variable> + 1.
Please let me know if you have any issues.

Auto number generation

hi experts,
              I am working with smartforms .I want to generate numbers automatically for each form when it is executed.what shall i do .that number must be unique .
thanks

Hi,
You need to pass the number range object name in "OBJECT" and also the interval in "NR_RANGE_NR" that you create using transaction SNRO.
Also Check this documentation for the FM.
The function module assigns the next free numbers of a number range. A number is assigned as a default if no larger number is demanded in the parameter QUANTITY. If more than one number is demanded and not enough numbers are available up to the interval limit, the numbers are only assigned up to the interval limit. If the last number was assigned, the first interval number is provided again during the next call.
The length of the number depends on the definition of the number range object. However, the length is not determined from the definition when allocating, but is calculated from the length of th from-number of the number range.
All exceptions are created with MESSAGE ... RAISING ... .
Example:
1. Object HUGO, not year-dependent, next free number searched for
DATA: RC         LIKE INRI-RETURNCODE,
      NUMBER(10) TYPE C.
   CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
        EXPORTING OBJECT          = 'HUGO'
                    NR_RANGE_NR     = '01'
        IMPORTING RETURNCODE      = RC
                    NUMBER          = NUMBER.
   CASE RC.
     WHEN ' '.
     everything o.k.
     WHEN '1'.
     the assigned number lies in the critical area.
     WHEN '2'.
     this was the last number, next time the first number
      will be assigned
   ENDCASE.
2. Object EGON, year-dependent, next 5 free numbers for 1992 in company code 0001 searched for.
DATA: RC         LIKE INRI-RETURNCODE,
      NUMBER(10) TYPE C,
      YEAR       LIKE INRI-TOYEAR,
      QUAN       LIKE INRI-QUANTITY.
   YEAR          = '1992'.
   QUAN          = 5.
   T001-BUKRS    = '0001'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'NUMBER_GET_NEXT'
        EXPORTING OBJECT           = 'EGON'
                    NR_RANGE_NR      = '01'
                   SUBOBJECT        = T001-BUKRS
                   TOYEAR           = YEAR
        IMPORTING RETURNCODE       = RC
                    QUANTITY         = QUAN
                   NUMBER           = NUMBER.
the last assigned number is in NUMBER
the number of the assigned numbers is in QUANTITY
the first free number is calculated from:
NUMBER - QUANTITY + 1.
   CASE RC.
     WHEN ' '.
     everything o.k.
     WHEN '1'.
     the assigned number lies in the critical area.
     WHEN '2'.
     this was the last number, next time the first number will be        assigned
     WHEN '3'.
     more numbers are demanded than are available,
     the number of the assigned numbers is in QUAN.
   ENDCASE.

To save the sales order number in custom table while creation of the order.

Hi Experts,
Does there exist any exit to save the sales order number in a custom table while the sales order is created in VA01. The requirement is to capture the sales order number in a Z table when a field (payment terms ) is changed during the sales order creation.
Regards,
Sunitha

Hi Sunita,
You can store your data in the User exit MV45AFZZ in the form 'userexit_save_document'.
You can navigate to MV45AFZZ from SE38 wherein an access key needs to be generated for that program, if you know to implement enhancement points then you can create an implicit enhancement point in this form without generating an access Key.

Auto-numbering of item field in custom table for EEW enhancements for BUPA

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to generat 3 custom tables in EEWB,for BUPA and assigned it to BP_HEAD. I have done all the generations and it works fine, the problem is that the tables that are generated is not allowing us to have a data(material) of 0...n cardinality.
The table that we are aiming is to allow multiple records, so my solution is to have an extra item number field so that it will allow multiple records for a material. But users are requesting to have the item number field of the tables to be auto-numbering.
I would like to know if this autonumbering is possible or not? what methods in BP_EEW should i use to implement this logic. I 'm very new to CRM2007, so I'm still not very familiar on how to use the objects generated by the component workbench.
p.s.
I've already search the forum but can find any relevant topic related to my request. If you have any known related topic, It would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
JP

Dear Syed,
   You can do many things in table maintenance screen like validation of some field, making some field required or displayed etc.
   For auto increment you have to use Number-Ranges. FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT is helpful in this case.
   Where to write the code??? The Function-Group you have made. There will be includes. You can easily locate the place to write these codes.
   Caution point is that if you re-generate the table maintenance then all code will be gone.

Deva.

Custom Employee Number Generation Using Fast Formulas

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate custom employee numbers like "EMP100001". we have already created a business group with the setting of Employee number generation as Automatic. but we need to generate custom employee number as Format given above instead of automatic number generation.
I have created my own PL/SQL Package to generate custom employee number as per Person Type. Also created a Fast Formula Function with the following parameters -
Name = Get_Custom_Number
Data Type = Text
Class = External Funtion
Alias Name = NULL or what you want the alias to be
Description = Returns the next custom number value
Definition = CUSTOM_EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION.Get_Custom_Number (PL/SQL Function)
Proving the following Context usages and Parameters details to the Fast Formula Function -
Context usages:-
Number = 1
Context Name = BUSINESS_GROUP_ID
Data Type = Number
Parameters as defined in PL/SQL function
1 p_legislation_code Text Input Only
2 p_person_type Text Input Only
3 p_person_number Text Input Only
4 p_party_id Number Input Only
5 p_person_id Number Input Only
6 p_national_id Text Input Only
7 p_date_of_birth Date Input Only
Than i created a Fast Formula using the following navigation
Total Compensation > Basic > Write Formula
with following details -
Name = EMP_NUMBER_GENERATION
Type = Person Number Generation
Description = Returns next Employee number
and wrote my formula code.
When i created a Employee from Enter and Maintain People screen it is showing automatic number instead of my custom employee number.
I m not able to find where i m missing the logic or some parameters?
If anyone has come across such situation, please provide some pointers here.
Thanks
Renu

How to "auto" generate "Primary Key" in custom table?

Hi Folks,
Requirement:
I need a function module or program that can create automatically a primary key.
Scenario:
I have a program that creates an entries and save it to a custom table at the same time, but a primary key should always be generated respective to the entries saved.
Example:
Material(MATNR) 4001001, Plant(WERKS) XX01, ID[Primary Key-auto generated]
(I'm thinking of a similar concept/logic on how a unique IDOC number is being generated or how SAP standard creates a unique entry)
I try to look for any SAP FM that can generate a PK, but there's no luck.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jun

Hi Keshu and All,
The links are helpful, however:
#1. I don't have authorization to create a new object in transaction SNRO, but the way I see the objects in SNRO is just for defining the length(number of characters) for the ranges that will be use if I'm not mistaken.
#2. FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT - yes it can populate incremental unique entries but it's only occurring at runtime ?? So when the program get terminated it's not being saved nowhere.
So after if I use FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT, I always have to look for all the last primary key in my custom table, then target it as my starting point for creating a new PK. I think this will give a performance issue, any comments?
For better visualization, I have scenario:
1. (ZQ_CREATE_PK) Create unique incremental PK for material, batch, so on..
2. Append line/entries to ZQ_TABLE
3. Repeat #1 and #2
4. User exits the program
5. Back to 1 --> At this point, I need to get the "LATEST" PK then start this as a starting point again to generate PK and append it to ZQ_TABLE
I'm assuming that SAP has other SAP FMs related in creating this scenario. Similar to IDOC # creation..
Thanks.

Insert into table returning primary key (auto number) in resultset

Hi,
I'm connecting to Oracle 10g via JDBC (ojdbc14.jar).
My SQL statement is as follows:
INSERT into Student (studentName, phone, email, address) values ('Jason', '12345678', 'test', 'test');
SELECT Student_studentId_SEQ.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL;
Fyi -The Student table has a trigger to support the generation of a primary key (integer) based on a sequence when a new record is inserted.
What the above will do (from the Java app point of view) is to create a Student record and automatically select the student ID so that the student ID can be accessed via the resultset in Java.
I'm getting error "ORA-00911: invalid character". Can you please help?
Regards,
Jason
Edited by: user10394130 on Oct 13, 2008 2:40 AM

Yes, I'm referring to the studentId, which is generated via the Student table trigger on insert of a new record.
I've now verified that the following SQL works and it is "printing" the correct studentId.
DECLARE seqNbr_studentId NUMBER(12) := 0;
BEGIN
INSERT into Student (studentName, phone, email, address) values ('Jason', '12345678', 'test', 'test')
RETURNING studentId INTO seqNbr_studentId;
dbms_output.put_line(seqNbr_studentId);
END;
--> This prints the correct value of seqNbr_studentId that has been generated by the trigger. This is good.
However, I would like the studentId to be in a resultset (so that I can access this via Java Resultset.getInt(1) ), for example:
DECLARE seqNbr_studentId NUMBER(12) := 0;
BEGIN
INSERT into Student (studentName, phone, email, address) values ('Jason', '12345678', 'test', 'test')
RETURNING studentId INTO seqNbr_studentId;
SELECT seqNbr_studentId FROM DUMMYTABLE;
END;
Is this possible?
What I'm trying to do is to achieve the effect in SQL Server where I can simply do an SQL command "SELECT @@IDENTITY" where it returns the auto number from the newly inserted record.
Regards,
Jason

Form on a Table with Report - Auto Number

Hi,
Scenario:
I want to create "Form on a Table with Report" that should allow my users to add records...
Steps and issues
I created a table in MS Access with a field called "TRACKING_NO" as type Auto Number and made it a primary key... I was planning to use it to link Report to Form
When I uploaded the table to Oracle it changed the type to varchar2... can you please advice how to change it back to Auto number...?
and will it work if my user add a record to the table (using APEX built in option to create a record)...?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
this is what I would do.
1. Upload the table from MS Access, lets call it TAB_A
2. Using SQL-Workshop get the DDL (SQL statement) for this table
3. Change any names and/or datatypes as required
4. Create a new table with this DDL, lets call it TAB_O
5. Copy the contents from TAB_A to TAB_O (e.g. INSERT INTO TAB_O (id, colx, coly) SELECT TO_NUMBER(tracking_no), col1, col2 FROM TAB_A;)
6. Create a sequence which starts with the last PK + 1 of table TAB_A
7. Add a trigger to TAB_O to use this sequence to populate it's PK
By the way, working with APEX requires a solid understanding of Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, regardless of what anyone says, even Oracle.

Maximum Number of Entries for Upload in Custom Table

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a custom table, and then a custom program will be used to upload the data entries. The user is expecting to upload more than 5000 entries at one load. However, the program is encontering a dump. Is there a maximum number of entries which can be uploaded via foreground execution?
Is there any other way to upload more than 10,000 entries at one execution?
Thanks,
Louisse

Hi,
No restrictions for number of records to be upload in custom table.
You have to go to technical settings, there select Size category for number of data records of table expected.

How to Track the changes made to the custom table field value

I want to track the changes made to the custom table field value in table maintenance generator.please help me it is very urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Kranti

Hi Satya,
These are the steps you've to do.
1. Enable the change document flag in the data element level for the fields of the tables you want to monitor.
2. Go to transaction SCDO. Create a new change object, and add your table to this object. After generation, you'll get a function module.
3. Call this function module in the table maintainence generator screen, after the data is saved to the database table. This function module automaticallly writes the changes, with the old and new values, and the fields that were changed to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
4. You can keep track of the changes made to the table by monitoring these tables.
