Definition

This field contains a sequence number which tells you when the object was entered based on the other objects of the same type.

This field does not tell you the position of an object.

Example from service entry:
Services 300, 301 and 302 are entered one after the other. Service 300 is given the sequence number 1, 301 is given number 2 and 302 is given the sequence number 3. If a further service 305 is entered between 300 and 301, it will be given the sequence number 4. The services are not renumbered due to the change of position.

Use

If you are in service entry, the system assigns each new object a sequence number when you save.
This number is not necessarily the same as the sequence in which the data was entered, since this sequence can change if the system checks or sorts the data before saving.

If you want the sequence number to reflect the order in which the data is entered, you can influence this using the BAdI ISH_SERVICE_ENTRY in service entry.
The BAdI interface contains table SS_RNLSR, which stores all the new objects in the precise order in which they were entered on the screen. You can use method MODIFY_INPUT to fill the fields SEQUE and SEQUE_X in table SS_RNLSR.
