change requestnumber range for transport?

[Former Member]

Hi,

how can i change the automaticly given requestnumber for a transport?

actually we have BIDKxxxxxx

I want to change to BIDLxxxxxx. Where can i change this number, which is normaly set automaticly.

The reason i want to change. We have a new development system because of migration. And have some old transports build on our old development system. The new develpoment system is an 2 weeks old export. So if i create a new transport, i got a number which was is already assigned on the old development system.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Kind Regards

I don't think you should change it to BIDLxxxxxx. Keep the 'K'!

But have a look at at SAP note 12799.

Hi Joe Bo,

that was the right note. I can change the last assigned number. Yes your are right i can't change BIDK to BIDL...

We change from BIDK904xxx to BIDK910000 so we have a new space from roundabout 6000 Numbers.

Thank you for your quick answer, it solved my problem.

Kind regards

Hi Martin,

To have a new transport request number you have to create a new request. I don't think there's any way you can manually change the number.

Moreover you can't change BIDK to BIDL because the format of the request number which the system generates is <SID>K900xxx.
