So I defined the task and when I went to save it, I got an error message telling me the prefixes had not been defined in the client I was working in. So I went out to SWU3 and sure enough, the “Maintain Prefix Numbers” under definition environment had a red X:<br></span><br><img border=0 width=333 height=163 id="_x0000_i1033" src="cid:image006.png@01CF16B1.492ECCA0"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br><br>So I launched the activity and I saw that there was an entry for the old 300 client in the table:<br></span><br><img border=0 width=624 height=391 id="_x0000_i1034" src="cid:image007.jpg@01CF16B1.492ECCA0"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br><br>I then edited the entry (deleted and re-created it) for the new client 100:<br></span><br><img border=0 width=635 height=371 id="_x0000_i1035" src="cid:image008.png@01CF16B1.492ECCA0"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br><br><br>I then went back to my new standard task and when I clicked “save”, it assigned a task number successfully. The problem is, I was expecting to get a task number up in the 400 range based on the last time I had to create a new task. But the task number that got created was 90000015:<br></span><br><img border=0 width=520 height=153 id="_x0000_i1036" src="cid:image009.png@01CF16B1.492ECCA0"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><br><br><br>I checked our QA and production systems and we do not already have a standard task 90000015 so I don’t think this newly generated task number is going to cause a problem. However, I am concerned about what is going to happen when I create my next task. Will it assign 90000016? We do already have a task with that number. Is the system going to be smart enough to find the next available number that has not already been used? Or have I created myself a big problem here by changing that prefix entry?<br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'><br>Loren Bratzler</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:gray'><br>Norfolk Southern Corporation<br>110 Franklin Road SE<br>Roanoke, VA 24042-0060<br><br>Phone: <a href="tel:540-524-3072" target="_blank">540-524-3072</a><br>Email: </span><a href="mailto:loren.bratzler@nscorp.com" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>loren.bratzler@nscorp.com</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>_______________________________________________<br>SAP-WUG mailing list<u><span style='color:blue'><br></span></u></span><a href="mailto:SAP-WUG@mit.edu" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>SAP-WUG@mit.edu</span></a><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:blue'><br></span></u><a href="http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug</span></a><tt><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>_______________________________________________</span></tt><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><br><tt>SAP-WUG mailing list</tt><br><tt><a href="mailto:SAP-WUG@mit.edu" target="_blank">SAP-WUG@mit.edu</a></tt><br><tt><a href="http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug" target="_blank">http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug</a></tt></span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_______________________________________________<br>SAP-WUG mailing list<br><a href="mailto:SAP-WUG@mit.edu">SAP-WUG@mit.edu</a><br><a href="http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug" target="_blank">http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
