Please clarify the example for Conversion or correction programms e.g. from baan for update of data from trition to baan IV, or conversion of home currency. ticor00224m000 (Correct Lead time).
so the example is ticor00224m000
what is the digit for that session type? 0 or 02, or what ?
Thanks

Are you sure it is not ticor0224m000? That extra 0 in 00224 looks out of place. And all of the ticor sessions I have on my old 4c4 are some kind of update/correction program no matter what that second digit is. I have a ticor0024m000 to update lead times in pur021. I think they just used what ever was available since there are so many of them.

That second digit is not a hard set rule, just recommended - we tried to follow it, but you will find some sessions that do not line up. So we have print sessions (4) that really do updates (2) in the back ground.

What I remember from back in the day when I did some 4c4 maintenance at PEG, the correction programs were often customer specific or for specific use cases and indeed we just took next number in the range.

So, it is just a convention. However, the border between common and specific is hard to see for a rookie greenhorn.
