PA - Personnel Number[URGENT]

Dear Colleagues,

This is in reference to change the Personnel Number range intervals.

Client Requirement: To move from External Number Range to Internal Number Range.

I understand that we need to define a new number range. For e.g. In case they have used it upto 10000090 then we need to block the same upto 10000090 and define a new number range from 10000091 - 99999999.

Secondly same has to be updated against the Personnel Area in the NUMKR feature. Need more clarity as in how to go about it.

Please correct me if my understnading is wrong.

Regards,

Garima

Hi Garima Dhingra,

We should not block the number ranges.

Goto PA04 transaction here you can find the number ranges which they have already defined in the system.

If you want to make the number range as internal number range then you have to remove the tick mark on External assignment option for your number range.

Once you have removed the external assignment for that number range then system will assign the number range to the new joiness whie doing the hiring action.

Hi,

Changing the present external no. range to internal no. range is not the correct way, why because in the external no. range user will take the Employee ID's in random not in continuous no's. if you change the settings now the continuous order of employee hiring will miss and system will give error that employee no. already used.

Best way is to create new series and assigned according to the client requirement.

Hi Haranath / Praneeth,

I am not blocking the number range...what i meant here was...If client has used the personnel number upto 10000090 then we need to do the config as:-

1) 10000000 -  10000090

2) 10000091 - 99999999 - When client does the hiring the system would be generate automatically the Personnel Number from 10000091 and so on....

And we need to define the same in NUMKR as well i.e.

In the personnel number firstly we need to define the used range and then the new range.

Please correct me in case my understandding  / missing on any point.

Hi Garima,

In external no. range you can see the present no. in current number.

Create the new series and assign that to your personnel area in feature NUMKR, while hiring automatically it will take the number range of internal only.

For example, see the screen shot. Serial no. 3 is only external number range, remaining are internal number ranges and assigned to the different personnel areas.

Hello Garima,

If you are sure you don't need anymore the external range number, then you may delimit this one.  But make sure than no other applications (other than pa40) need an external range number.  Otherwise you might still create an other external range if necessary.

As you said you should only define the NUMKR feature to determine which internal number range you use according to your business rules.

Hi All,

In continuation to my query i am trying to insert the number range with current number but system is not allowing and giving a message Overlap

Hi,

That is standard. system will not accept the same number range whether it is Internal / External.

start the new number range from the next number of the end number of the present no. range. or bet way is to start with 1 of any series. for example: 10000091 or 10001000

Hi Garima,

First you have to change the TO number in the serial no. 02 from 99999999 to 10399999

And now create new one like 03 10410000 (best option) to 99999999

If you want another series better to do like this

03  10410000  -  10499999

04  10500000  -  10599999

05  10600000  -  10699999

  • First check the Last personal number in the external number range.

Best Regards.

Hi Garima,

When you are using numbers as external assignment, cross check all the used personnel numbers.

You have to sort out all the used numbers.

In your screenshot its clearly showing number range -02 has 10000000 to 99999999, meanwhile again you are creating a number range -03 with 10401526 to 99999999.

You have to check once again the usage of the numbers and then

Ex: Suppose 00001 to 00099, if you used continually till 00020 and then in middle if you used 00031 and now if you try to create a new range starts with 00021 it wont allow you. Now you have to create a new number range from 00032 to 00099, previous one you have to close with 00001 to 00031. Now you can work smoothly with out any interruption.

Hi,

Its good to go with new number range if the end user  is not sure of the PERNR provided to the employee is in sequence, else you can delimit the number and start from next number and assign the same in NUMKR to generate the number internally.

We can check the existing using search for PERNR range between  10000000(lower limit) - 99999999(upper limit) and proceed accordingly.

Thanks,

Hi Garima,

Do No. ranges in PA04 with Internal no. range with New series and assign the Serial no. too if number range is different from one PA to another PA.

if it is different then you have to assign new serial no.'s to your specific PA in the feature NUMKR
