Hi,

We want to use the coding mask in wbs master data in order to save some info.

Any way to updrate that field by BAPI or substitution?

Regards,

Julien

Hi Julien

I am not sure if I am able to understand what you are asking.

Basically coding mask is used to generate the WBS numbering hierarchy as a template. The operative project (WBS) uses this mask to get the allocated numbers either manually or system generated. Not sure what you mean by "use coding mask in master data to store info"

Information regarding the WBS should ideally be stored in the WBS master data fields , user fields or custom defined fields by programming

I would not recommend substitution of coding mask which essentially is the WBS ID, however you could use validation to check if the correct mask has been applied in your structure

Hi Virendra,

Thanks for the answer!

Our WBS are defined by two id. One long which is stored in the WBS ID and a shorter one which is not related to the first one

For example:

project Z00000

wbs: Z00000123456

short id :00000ABCDE

Our idea was to use the alternative id to store the 'short id'. Is there any way to do that?

Regards,

Julien

I would use user field for this to store such data and not try to change the short ID of the WBS
