Maintaining prefix numbers

[Abby Dywan]

Hi all -
 
I've been asked this question by my team lead, and as I am new to wflow I'm
not as certain of the answer... if anyone knows, would you please let me
know?  I would appreciate it so much!
 
It's regarding setting up the workflow customizing in SWU3.
 
When you are maintaining prefix numbers is OOW4, I know you're supposed to
set  a prefix  up for each client and each system.
 
First off:  is there any danger in not setting prefix numbers for a client
in which you are not going to create tasks?
 
#2  What are these prefix numbers used for, other than as a sign of where
the task was created?  (Since it's cross-client).  The concern is, if I
develop a client in 040 and transport it to QA - will this prefix number
change as it is transported?  Will the maintaining prefix number table in
QA have to have the line for that particular prefix?
 
Example:  You create a task in Dev 040 with - let's call it number
940000001.
 
Prefix number table is set up in dev to read:
Prefix    940
SAP System   R3D
Client   040
Dev Class   ZCA
 
When you transport this task into QA, does the prefix table info have to be
there before the task is transported for the task to work in QA? Or should
you be setting up the table in QA with
Prefix    940
SAP System   R3Q
Client   120
Dev Class   ZCA
 
for it to work?  I think it's the first but would like confirmation.
 
 
Thank you so much!
