3543161 - Change in Project Purchase Request ID Pattern Post 2411 Upgrade

Symptom

The Project Purchase Request ID is now determined with a new prefix.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign 2411 and later versions

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Project Management work center.
  2. Proceed to the Projects view.
  3. Search for the relevant project.
  4. Click on "Edit".
  5. Navigate to the Products tab.
  6. Proceed to the Purchase Requests Sub tab.
  7. Observe that the Project Purchase Request ID is now determined with a new prefix as "PPR-Number".

Cause

The change in the Project Purchase Request ID pattern is due to the 2411 upgrade. The ID is now determined with a new prefix as "PPR-N", where N is the Sequence Number generated through the Number range object.

E.g: PPR-01

Resolution

This is an expected system behavior, system determines the new prefix initially, once the purchase request is released system assigns the purchase request ID.
