UCAS uses a 9-digit numeric identifier for applicants with the following format

  • First 2 digits: Year of entry
  • Middle 6 digits: Sequential number from the interval 000001 - 600000
  • Last digit: Check digit

For the SAP UCAS interface the UCAS number must be used as the SAP student number. SAP delivers a number range object and two function modules specific for this purpose.

Activities

If you plan to use the SAP UCAS interface you need to setup the SAP student number in the following way:

  1. Maintain the settings for the SAP Student Number so that
    1. a 9-digit numeric student number is used (Format: N; Length: 9)
    2. only internal number assignment is allowed for the creation of new student master records with the dialogue transactions (Method: I)
  2. Create and activate a BAdI Implementation for the Student Number Assignment. (You can copy the coding from the BAdI implementation HRPIQGB_ST_NUMBER which is delivered as an example.)
    1. Call the function module HRIQ_GB_UCAS_NUMBER_CHECK within the method CHECK
    2. Call the function module HRIQ_GB_UCAS_NUMBER_GET_NEXT within the method GET_NEXT

With this setup

  • every student number imported from a UCAS file will be checked if the sequential number is within the number range defined for number range interval 'EX' of number range object PIQ_GB_UCN and the check digit is validated.
  • for internal number assignment the student number is built with the UCAS format, using the year set in customizing and a sequential number from the number range interval 'IN' of number range object PIQ_GB_UCN.
