This SAP article will guide you all about “How to Maintain Number Range Intervals for Personnel Numbers in SAP” step by step with screenshots.
In this step, you define the number range(s) for personnel number assignment.
You have two basic options:
- Internal number assignment
In this case, the SAP System assigns the personnel numbers.
- External number assignment
In this case, the user assigns the personnel numbers.
Recommendation
SAP recommends that you opt for internal number assignment.
Because you can use matchcodes to search for HR master records, according to any selection criteria you wish, you do not need to use “mnemonic” personnel numbers. This has the added advantage that you cannot lose track of the “mnemonic” character of a personnel number if transfers or transports take place.
Activities
Define the number intervals for your number ranges.
Additional Information
Check-digit procedure
If you want to implement a check-digit procedure when personnel numbers are assigned, you will have to customize the standard system. You will find information on how to doe this in the program documentation for “MP000000″ (module pool for the infotype Actions (0000)).
Further notes
The number range intervals are not linked to the automatic recording of customizing changes. You must transport all the changes that are made during the maintenance of number range intervals manually.
To do this, choose Interval -> Transport on the initial number range interval maintenance screen.
Please read the information that you receive when transporting number range intervals.
