update prps-posid

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with entries in the table PRPS. Someone entered data in the table with format BExx_100000.

After that, they activated a coding mask saying that the format must be BExx.10000.

Now we're receiving a shortdump when executing the search help saying that 10_00000 cannot be interpreted as a number. The coding mask has been already used, so we cannot delete the coding mask...

How can we proceed ?

thanks for the help !

Bjorn,

Have you tried the running the database utility (SE14) on table PRPS? I am not 100% sure this will fix your issue but worth a try. The other alternative to write a quick ABAP program to change WBS Elements that have the incorrect format.

Cheers,

Neil.

Hey Neil,

thanks for the tip !

Luckely for us, we were not the only one who had this problem

SAP has a note (453280) were they include a program to solve issues like this. I ran program zzadjustposid which allowed us to adjust all posid's.

Sandly enough it was my functional colleague which had the idea to search for an Oss note, so that's something which I willhear for the next 3 months

Glad to hear you found a solution. And don't let your functional consultant brag too much! 🐵
