3571383 - Not Numeric ID is Generated for Migrated Purchase Orders

Symptom

It was expected that only numeric IDs would be generated for migrated Purchase Orders. 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search for ABC (ABC is the migrated purchase order ID). 

The ID (ABC) has numbers, letters and special characters. 

It was expected that only numbers would be in a Purchase Order ID. 

A couple examples would be "ABC1" and "MIG_1". 

Cause

In the activity 'Number Range for Number Ranges for Operational Purchase Documents', it is shown the number range defined in the system.  This configuration is not applicable for migrated Purchase Orders. 

If the user inserts a not numeric ID in the migration template, the system will pick the same ID in the front end when creating the purchase order. 

Resolution

System is working as expected.
