Diagnosis

You have entered or changed a general object number.

System Response

The system sends an information.

Procedure

If possible, do not use any fields to enter the general object number.

Please note that the representation used for input of the object number differs from the output representation. This means that you can check your input only to a limited extent.
For example, the entry 'OR000000123456' is converted to the output 'AUF 123456'. The entry 'OR000123456' is converted to the same output.
The entry 'AUF 123456' would be converted to 'AU F 123456'. This does not make any sense.

Procedure for System Administration

If the current application has been developed in your company, you should use a field with another domain (for example, J_OBJNR) to enter the object number. If this is not possible, you can use the function module OBJECT_NUMBER_CONVERSION_SET to deactivate output conversion. In this case the internal and external representation is identical. The entry 'OR000000123456' will then be output as 'OR000000123456'.
