In the context of SAP EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety), ensuring that all employees have a unique Business Partner (BP) record is crucial for effective management and compliance. Each employee must have a username to be assigned as part of their BP data, which is essential for proper system integration and user access.
This guide demonstrates how to create an ABAP program that automatically generates usernames for employees. The usernames are derived from the first letter of the employee’s first name and their last name, followed by a numeric suffix to ensure uniqueness if similar usernames already exist. This is particularly useful in the SAP EHS module, where each employee's BP record requires a unique identifier.
1. Access the ABAP Editor (SE38)
◉ Transaction Code: SE38
◉ Open the SAP GUI and enter the transaction code SE38 in the command field.
2. Create a New Program
◉ In the ABAP Editor: Initial Screen, enter a name for your program (e.g., ZUPDATE_SYNAME) in the Program field.
◉ Click the Create button.
3. Define Program Attributes
◉ Title: Enter a meaningful title for your report (e.g., "Update SYNAME for Active Employees").
◉ Type: Choose Executable Program since this is a standalone report that will be executed directly.
◉ Status: Typically, this would be set to Test Program during development and Production Program when finalized.
◉ Application: Select the appropriate application area, such as HR if the program is related to human resources.
4. Write the ABAP Code
◉ In the ABAP Editor, you can now write or paste the code provided for your report.
The ABAP Code :
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report ZUPDATE_SYNAME
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
REPORT ZUPDATE_SYNAME.

ENDIF.
* Display message or log completion
WRITE: / 'UNAME update completed.'.
5. Save the Program
◉ Click Save (Ctrl+S) to save your program.
◉ You will be prompted to choose a package. If this is a test or temporary program, you can save it in the $TMP package, which is for local objects that don't need to be transported. Otherwise, choose an appropriate package.
◉ Transport Request: If you’re saving it in a package that requires transport, you’ll need to assign it to an existing transport request or create a new one.
6. Check and Activate the Program
◉ Check: Click the Check button (Ctrl+F2) to ensure there are no syntax errors in your program.
◉ Activate: Once the program is error-free, click the Activate button (Ctrl+F3). Activation makes the program executable in the system.
7. Execute the Program
◉ After activation, you can execute the program directly from SE38 by clicking the Execute button (F8).
◉ You may also run it by entering the program name in the command field from the SAP Easy Access screen.
