Generate Next Number

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I have built a custom table and this table has the material number field. CUSTOM field, ZMATNR.

We fill data into this table by a program and this program has to generate a new number next in sequence and insert this number into this table in the field ZMATNR.

I guess I can use the FM - NUMBER_GET_NEXT to generate the next number but am not sure as how would this help me.

ANy suggestions.

I guess you could start by reading the FM documentation. It's pretty good.

HI,

for this u need to create an entry in SNRO transaction with the field of the ztable and maintain a number range there and call the above Fm.it works.

Hi,

I think you can generate next number without using FM.

first, you need to select the max material number in the table and then add 1 to it, last you can save it in the table.

You can have a try if you are not familar with that FM.
