Need to eliminate the 'EC_' in front of the new created organisation objects

[former_member27246]

Dear experts,
On creation of new organisation objects(Department, Div, BU) when we replicate from SSFF to SAP (prog RH_SFIOM_PROC_ORG_STRUC_RPRQ) the 'EC_' appears in front of the created object code.
This 'EC_ ' disappeared if we apply a change in later stage.
Can we avoid this 'EC_ ' appearing in frond of the code initially?
Thank you

Since system in on PA_SE_IN 0029, We have introduced new functionality in 2005 Release.

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2847717

The BIB-based Organizational Object replication has been improved:

• We updated the default behaviour, in case you did not define a mapping for the Object Abbreviation (SHORT) field in the Object (1000) infotype. By default, the external object ID from Employee Central is mapped to the Object Abbreviation field. For new objects whose external ID consists of digits only, the SAP ERP HCM system adds the prefix EC_ before the ID when writing it to the Object Abbreviation field. Adding the prefix prevents that follow-on HR processes break because they can't handle object abbreviations that contain only digits. But we still recommend that you map the Object Abbreviation to a more suitable Employee Central field.

If you don’t want to map SHORT Field, then you need to do the following

(HRP1000 > Object abbr. (SHORT) >>

Please apply note 2928236 (https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2928236 Org Obj Repl: EC ObjectID not considered in Conversion Rules

After applying this note, the EC Object Id ( i.e. field 01 for Position) can be used within a conversion rule.

Hence, we propose to use a conversion rule to avoid setting the Prefix in the field SHORT (Object Abreviation) as follows:

- in the field mapping use a "dummy" field, e.g. the field createdBy, and map this to infotype 1000, field SHORT

- add a conversion rule "Replace with string/ EC field" to this "dummy" field and use as EC field the EC object ID (e.g. field

Please implement the note https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2928236

and test it and see if it resolves as it was released for this EC_

Hello siddharth.rajora

We are also facing similar issue in our BIB integration of Org objects from SF-EC to S/4 HANA 1909.

In our SF- EC system, position ID are created with 12-15 characters

(Eg: POS16999526, POS169950012010, POS169950012017)

I have mapped SF-EC field (01- Code) with ERP field-(1000-SHORT) in Field mapping. But as SHORT field (object abbreviation) in ERP system will support maximum of 12 Characters only, when I'm trying to replicate the position-its cutting of last 3 characters for position ID's more than 12 Characters. So, positions are creating with duplicate position ID's (For Eg: When Im trying to replicate above 2 positions with 15 characters they are getting replicated as POS169950012 twice.

I have applied Generic conversion rule - Split after String /character with Parameter 1 as POS, so that after cutting off POS from position ID, positions will be created as 1699******** with 12 characters. But that conversion rule is not working for us.

If we apply the above note (2928236) mentioned by you, will that solve our issue? Can you please guide us on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Ramya
