The regiment initially used the rotation system for recruitment and trained at various locations such as Veberöd and Tvedöra.

During World War II, the regiment's operations expanded, and it became part of the Southern Army Division.

The regiment was reorganized and renamed under several defence acts, and its barracks and training areas shifted over time.

[2] It was formed alongside the Northern Scanian Infantry Regiment to help fill the void left by the loss of Finland.

[7] The numbering system was based not only on a regiment's status but also on the internal order of the Swedish provinces, with Svealand, Götaland, and Norrland being alternated.

The adjustment was made to distinguish between regiments and corps of different arms of service, as names and numbers like No.

3 Life Regiment Hussar Corps could appear confusing to those unfamiliar with the fact that these units belonged to different branches.

This report included a proposal to reduce operations at the Southern Scanian Infantry Regiment.

With the outbreak of war in 1914, the Defence Act of 1914 was made, which included the organization and mobilization of the line regiment I 25.

"[15] As a result of defence cuts at the end of the 1920s, the regiment could only muster two battalions at the outbreak of war in 1939.

On 5 November 1914, the entire regiment was stationed in Lund, with accommodations at Fabriksgatan 2 and Lilla Södergatan 3, and a hospital at Östra Mårtensgatan 3.

However, these accommodations were only temporary, as a new barracks complex was planned to be built in Vipeholm [sv], in eastern Lund.

On 26 May 1982, a farewell ceremony was held in Ystad, and by 10 June, the entire training battalion had assembled in Revingehed.

[17] From 1 July 1982, the majority of the barracks complex was taken over by the Scanian Anti-Aircraft Regiment, which relocated from Malmö.

The entire barracks area, which then consisted of over 40 buildings, was sold to the Ystad Municipality and later designated as a national heritage site.

[18] In 1913, the Södra skånska infanteriregementets (I 7) förtjänstmedalj ("South Scanian Infantry Regiment (I 7) Medal of Merit") in gold/silver/bronze (SSkånregGM/SM/BM) of the 12th size was established.

It was later renamed and until 1987, it was called Södra skånska regementets och Malmö försvarsområdes förtjänstmedalj ("South Scanian Regiment and Malmö Defence District Medal of Merit") (SödskånregGM/SM/BM) and then until 1999 it was called Södra skånska regementets och Södra skånska brigadens förtjänstmedalj ("South Scanian Regiment and South Scanian Brigade") (SödskånregbrigGM/SM/BM).

Today it is called Södra skånska regementets (P 7) förtjänstmedalj ("South Scanian Regiment (P 7) Medal of Merit").
