SAP ID / Account Naming Convention

[former_member783832]

Dear Guru,

I'd like to check what is the common / best practice for SAP ID / Account naming convention:

(1) Name Base, e.g. sg_billychen

(2) Staff Number Base, e.g. sg_007

(3) Role / Task Base, e.g. FINMGR, FINADM, SG_PLANTHOD

Is it common to have SAP ID naming convention based on Role / Task (Point No. 3 above)?

Is it common to put the real name of the SAP user into ALIAS field instead of in the FIRST & LAST NAME fields?

Thanks in advance for your help and explanation.

Cheers,

JC

Hi

1. Users are sometimes changing names or identical first and last name can occur. You should be prepared to solve this problems

2 . Numbers are generally good, but administration is more time consuming.

3. Users are migrating inside organizations, and this approach can lead you to mess.
