Normally every Official document in SAP has either Internal Number or External Number Range
Internal being dynamically assigned by system and External, user will populate it based on the Number Range assigned.
When we deal with Project System, we Create a Project as part of the Structures which has a certain mechanism to define Project.
In SAP S4HANA PS ( ECC-PS), this is called as PROJECT CODING MASK
Project Coding mast has two parts
PROJECT ID
- PROJECT ID: This is the Length of the Coding. This can range from 1-5 characters based on your requirement. The Characters in this field would be the start of your Project Definition. For example if you enter the Project ID as ABC... Your Project definition would start with ABC and following by Coding Mask. There is a dependency on the Special Characters.
- CODING MASK: This controls the total length of Project. This is built by Alpha numerical or Numerical. "X" denotes an Alphanumerical Character and "0" denotes a Numerical.
- Lck: If this field is flagged, then the Project ID cannot be used for Creating a Operative Structure.
- Lks: If this field is flagged, this Project ID cannot be used for Creating a Standard Structure.
SPECIAL CHARACTERS OF PROJECT
These Special Characters Control how the structure of Project should be. These Special Characters will play significant role while building Coding Mask
PL : Project length will control the Length of Project ID
SL : Length of Total structure
ET: Entry Tool, for example when we dont remember the Coding mask for Cetrain Project ID, Just enter the Character in the Project Definition from ET, this will enable Project coding mask.
SP: Denotes all special Characters which can be used while creating Coding Mask
This structure configuration is same in ECC and S4HANA
