ERP order , leading zero on the material

Hi ,
The ERP order scenario seems to work on materials starting with an alpha character [A-Z] , if the materials start with a numerical character [0-9] it seems to add the leading zero , so part number 176809000 become 000000000176809000  and of course an error message is issued because 000000000176809000 do not exist .
If you had similar problem , please share you findings/solutions .
Regard's

Hi Christophe,
came accross the same issue. May I ask how you solved the problem?
FYI: COMCPRFORMAT in CRM and OMSL in ERP are in sync both with
lexographically flag switched on...
Thank you in advance,
Herbert

  • How could I thoroughly close the Leading Zero function of Material No.?

    There are only a checkbox in SPRO with the function Leading Zeros of Material No. in
    Material Master->Basic Settings->Define Output Format of Material Numbers.
    But this function either make the Material ID full of Leading Zeros or delete all the Leading Zeros of it.
    Could I make the Material ID as normal string type without those functions?
    Because I want to set my Material ID as different between '0001234' or '00001234'.
    Could any one help me? Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Yes, of course you can, on the screen "Define Output Format of Material Numbers", you can find an indicator "Lexicographical", If this indicator is set, material numbers are stored as follows:
    If the material number (numeric or not purely numeric) was assigned externally, it is stored left-justified as entered.
    Example
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Externally assigned number: 123
    Stored number: 123
    Note
    Any leading zeros that may have been entered are stored too. This makes it possible to distinguish between the material numbers 123 and 0123.
    If the material number (numeric only) was assigned internally, it is padded with leading zeros to the defined length and stored left-justified.
    Example
    Defined length: 8 characters
    Internally assigned number: 123
    Stored number: 00000123
    Activate it and make the number is assigned externally, then you can realize your request!
    Good luck

  • Suppressing Leading Zeroes in the Query output

    Hi,
    I have selected a data field(0MATERIAL) as a free characteristics, It displays text and key and the key has leading zeroes.
    In the infoobject 0MATERIAL, ALPHA conversion routine is not selected, I can't change and insert the ALPHA right now because it would end up with reloading a large volume of data in different targets. To avoid this or to reduce the impact, in the reverse way,
    Could it be possible to suppress this leading zeroes at the query level? I was hoping that there would be a change that I could make at the query level, since it is 0Material and am looking at the point of minimal impact.
    Thank You.

    Hi Senthil,
    create InfoObject ZMATERIAL like a copy of 0MATERIAL, delete all the attributes and insert ALPHA conversion.
    Insert this ZMATERIAL like display attribute of 0MATERIAL. In InfoSource for 0MATERIAL map also ZMATERIAL with the same field that is feeding 0MATERIAL (MATNL). In your query insert 0MATERIAL and ZMATERIAL, and then hide 0MATERIAL (you need to insert also 0MATERIAL because ZMATERIAL is only in display), you will see only the values of ZMATERIAL, that is the material without the zeros in front.
    You can also decide to transform ZMATERIAL like navigational attribute, but in this case you have to change all the structure where do you want ZMATERIAL, because you need to flag it like navigational in that specific structure.
    Ciao.

    Hi,
    You will have to write some code in F4 help BADI, please refer the sap note 1416952. And you can take help of following function module to remove leading zeros,
    CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT.
    If above thing doesn't help then you will have to create virtual key figure.

  • Need to show leading zeros in the number field when printed from RDF

    We have a requirement to show leading zeros in the rdf output.
    We cannot use a format mask to achieve the same as the length of the field is not fixed.
    for ex if we have 0.68 then the same is printed in RDF as .68
    we cannot use a format mask as the length of the field is not fixed.
    we need to
    Kindly suggest if any solution exists for the same.

    the numbers after the decima can be anything..
    it can range between 2 to 10 or more...
    as told by you if we put the format as to_char(.68,'90.99') it shall give 0.68 but what for numbers like0.678,0.4567,0.765433 it will display only 2 digits after the decimal...
    The requirement is to dispaly the number as it is ,only the zeroes before the decimal should stay intact..
    we are not able to achieve this in rdf output..
    if it is
    0.678 then 0.678 shld be dispalyed
    0.4567 then 0.4567
    0.765433 then 0.765433
    one format mask shld wrk for all the above..
    we would not be changing the format mask for each number....

  • BAPI to remove leading zeros from the serial number

    Hi All ,
    plz can anybody suggest me the alternative BAPI for 'BAPI_SERVNOT_MODIFY_DATA ',whose function is to delete the leading zeros,from the serial number.
    Thanks.

    Perhaps instead of using a BAPI you can code it like this.
    DATA:serial(10) TYPE n VALUE '0000340078',
    pos TYPE i VALUE 1.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WHILE pos <= 10 AND serial+pos(1) = 0.
        pos = pos + 1.
      ENDWHILE.
      REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN serial(pos) WITH space.
      WRITE serial.

  • Leading zero for the instance

    hi,
    my numbers looks like 0 or -0,23 or ,45...
    but i want to have a leading zero, e.g. 0,0 or 0,45

  • Leading zeros in the Product allocation characteristic combinations.

    Hi All,
    I am copying Characteristic combination from planning area to product allocation group, after i complete the transaction system is automatically preceding the zeroes to the product number.
    I have one the following activities before copying CVC of planning area to product allocation group.
    against all the Product allocation settings.
    2.Created the MPOS with product (characteristic length of Product is 18), Customer and Allocation object.
    3.Created planning area and planning book.
    4.Copied cvc combination from planning are to product allocation group and also copied planning area values in to Product allocation group.
    5.Tried to check in the ATP simulation mode, while I was doing system has given no characteristic combination found, when I checked Product is preceding zeros as per the filed MATNR length 40 and this MATNR is selected from the Product allocation field catalog, But when I add zeros to product system is performing Product allocations in simulation mode.
    6.Tried triggering gATP Product allocations by creating Order in ECC, here also it has given same error No characteristic combination exists.
    When I did initial R&D on this. I found that material number in the product allocation characteristic combination is leading by zeros for ex:- 000000000000000002200325.
    Could any one please suggest me what to do on this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    T.Muthyalappa

    Hi Muthyalappa ,
    If i have understood your question properly , then my guess is you should be facing this problem only for numeric material codes. Try out the following things
    1. Execute the same test condition for a non numeric material. I believe it will work perfectly .
    2. For numeric material codes it is not working because of the difference in MATNR length between ECC and APO. In ECC the maximum possible MATNR length is 18 char whereas it is 40 chars in APO. So as per std SAP functionality the numeric materials get concatenated with leading zeros when you try to transfer it (or carry out any kind of processing ) from ECC to APO.
    ex consider material 12345. In ECC it will be stored internally as 13 leading zero's followed by12345 . But in APO it will be stored as 35 leading zero's followed by 12345.  Your issue is the system does not recognize the CVC that has this material as characteristic. At the time of cvc creation / change make sure your material characteristic ( especially for numeric material codes) totally has 40 chars . Pack it with leading zeros and make the material length 40.
    Try this out and update me .
    Thanks

  • Truncating leading zeros for the data

    hi ,
      I am doing a conversion project from oracle source system(DB2) to BI system. I have a situation here:
      I am extracting material numbers from source system(DB2) into a ZXXXX characteristic and in the transfer structure i checked the conversion as well and for infoobject ZXXXX, i am using ALPHA conversion. but the data i get is truncating material numbers. For example, 050302 is coming as 50302 and truncating leading zero. I am not sure what needs to be done here.
    Please advise..
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi J Dorson,
    This is the expected bahaviour if your InfoObject is configured to have ALPHA conversion. If the zero's in front of the material number is needed, then turn-off ALPHA conversion in your InfoObject (e.g. by removing the conversion exit).

    Hi,
    Please check out this thread.
    Remove leading zeros
    Also check if there is any conversion routine used for that particular infoobject.
    If ALPHA conversion is selected for your infoobject then it will automatically take away the leading zeros at query level.
