FMEA: Automatic External Number Assignment

With this product feature, you can use a BAdI implementation to specify that sequential external numbers are generated automatically when an FMEA is created. Here you can specify different number range intervals that you than assign to the individual object types.

Effects on Existing Data

An active implementation for the BAdI PLM_AUDIT_IDENTIFIER must be available:

BAdI implementation using your own implementation class
To use automatic number assignment, a call of the static method GENERATE_NEW_EXTERNAL_ID from the sample implementation class CL_EXM_IM_PLM_AUDIT_IDENTIFIER must be implemented in the method IF_EX_PLM_AUDIT_IDENTIFIER~GET_EXTERNAL_ID.
BAdI implementation using the sample implementation class CL_EXM_IM_PLM_AUDIT_IDENTIFIER
To use automatic number assignment, no further steps are required here.

Effects on Customizing

In Customizing under Start of the navigation path Quality Management Next navigation step Quality Planning Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Control Data Specify Number Range Intervals for BAdI Implementation End of the navigation path , you create number range intervals. The number ranges are assigned to the number range object PLMAUDIT.

In Customizing under Start of the navigation path Quality Management Next navigation step Quality Planning Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Control Data Data Objects: Properties, Forms End of the navigation path you assign the number range intervals to individual object types.
