Definition

You use this indicator to determine the other fields to which the master number is transferred as a default value. You can only transfer components that have generation type 8 in number composition. If a contract number comprises several components, you can only transport one component.

Example: Transfer to the finance project number

If the contract numbers are composed from other contract numbers, or assigned sequentially (generation type 3 or X), it is important that you note the following:

In these cases, the master number must be transported to the file number and/or the finance project number. In this way, existing loans with the same master number can be used to calculate the next number in the sequence.

Example: The contract number is composed of the master number and a sequential number:

  • Master number with 7 digits, generation type 8
  • Sequential number with 3 digits (starting with 001), generation type 3

    1st number XXXXXXX001

    2nd number XXXXXXX002

    ...

In this case, the following applies:

  • If you want the master number to be the "file number", you must transport the master number to the file number.
  • If you want the master number to be the "individual master number" or the "object number", you must transport the master number to the finance project number.

When new sequential numbers are assigned, the system selects the existing loans on the basis of the master number in the respective field.

Note:
The finance project number is automatically transferred to Financial Accounting (field: BSEG-SAMMNR). Since the FI field has only 8 digits, only the first 8 digits of the finance project number are transferred. This means that if you use the collective document function in FI, you should restrict the finance project number to 8 digits.
