How load ean with leading zeros

Hi,
I need help for load leading zeros in ean. If someone can send me the documentation of why SAP delete leading zeros when to load ean code in the field mean-ean11 and mara-ean11. I'm consultan and the client need know this aswer. Because they no want load the articles without zeros. Now if knowledge a enhancement please.
We are using SAP Retail ECC 6.0 and I finding to very notes and I can't find and answer.
Thank you,

Hi friends,
My general problem is that I'm using the idoc ARTMAS05 but when to load data delete leading zeros in EAN fields.
Example of my problem:
I have a article with this ean code 0056789 and have other article with this ean 00056789, but when to load data the second article it is no stored because shows error message "Ean code already exits". Now I´m finding the way for to be able to load the zeros of the ean.
I have 23000 article with this problem.
Thank...

  • How can I format a number with leading zeros?

    I need to convert an int to occupy exactly 3 positions in a StringBuffer... I need the space in the StringBuffer to be filled with leading zeros where appropriate. Can anyone show me how to do this correctly please ?
    At the moment I am using a pretty dumb workaround to fill the target with "000" first and then parse the int into either 1 2 or 3 positions depending on its value ... it works, but there must be a more correct way to do this ...
    Thanks in advance ...

    Have you had a look at the class java.text.DecimalFormat? It does exactly what you want... example:
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("000");
    format.format(2, sb, new FieldPosition(0));
    System.out.println(sb);
    prints out the string 002.

  • ABAP-based web service returns numeric values with leading zeros

    Hi SOA experts,
    I have created a web service out of an ABAP function module. Beside other values, this service returns a list of document numbers. All of these numeric values are returned by the web service with leading zeros, but we do want these values w/o leading zeros.
    Any ideas how I can tell the web service to not print any leading zeros?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Kind regards, Matthias
    PS: The according function module does not print any leading zeros for the numeric values

    hi,
    just a guess: I'd try to use I instead of NUMC for the document numbers.
    NUMC is no number but a character string with numeric characters only. only some display routines in SAP know that this string of numerals represents a number and omit leading zeroes.
    my 2 cents,

  • SD Document flow with Leading zeros

    Hi All,
    We have issue with docuemnt flow, when we click document flow sales order or delivery or billing its showing leading zeros, My client  don't want any leading zeros in docuemnt flow.
    For example -
    if i click on document flow its showing - 00500005 (SO ) 008000674 -Delivery - - Billing - 0090000012,
    Can any other guide us what could be a issue with leading zeros or any config setting is missing.
    Regards
    Nishad

    dear friend,
    it depends on how do you set up the number ranges
    for example, run VN01 and look how your sales orders are numbered.
    regards,
    p.s. create a new number range without leading zeroes and test it
    but i suggest you will not change the current settings , it is 'too late' , so tell your client it is standard

  • ** Please help urgently  ** Budget upload field with leading zeros

    We need to load a characteristic that has leading zeros.  For example 0000350.  When saving down to CSV, we lose the leading zeros (0000) so that only 350 is loaded into BW.  Saving the codes as 'text' in excel does not seem to help.
    We cannot therefore see the name for any of these codes when refreshing the workbook in BW.
    Could some please urgently tell us the correct method to save the file for loading into the BW infopackage, with all zeros intact ?
    Regards, Frederick

    Hi Frederick,
    Just some additional thoughts,
    assuming field A1 in Ecel contains 350 and you want to create a string with 8 digits, you could use formula '=text(A1;"00000000")' in an empty column and copy it back to column A. Then 00000350 should be provided in A1. This can be saved in a normal .csv file and be opened with a text editor (e.g. notepad) in order to check content.
    If you don't want to manipulate Excel data, transformation to a field with leading zeros can be easily be processed with a routine in transfer rules.

  • Re: Material number with leading zeros (40 char long)

    Hello Experts,
    I am working on SAP ME 6.1.4.15.
    I am having a problem with the material number appearing in production order / planned order request document in MEINT and failing there since the material it is looking for is with leading zeros (for example 1291 appearing as 0000000000000000000000000000000000001291) - a total of 40 char long.
    But this material exists in ME as 1291 only. Can any one throw any light on this as to what could be the reason and how to solve it?
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    Dear Srinivas,
    SAP Note 1799009 - 'Presence of leading zeros is inconsistent over IDOC thus SAP MEINT cannot handle all inbound IDOC consistently' should help to resolve the problem.

  • EBS check number with leading zeros

    When we upload EBS, we are getting the check number in the record 16 (reference field). But unlike the check number posted in SAP, the check number in the BAI file has 2 leading zeros. Now since check number is coming in record 16, instead of record 88 we are not able to solve this problem through String configuration.
    So, we thought of following solutions(Options):
    1.    Modify the check lot numbers to have two leading zeros plus associated changes like the form and so on.
    2.    Modify the check number in the incoming file u2013 strip the check number with two leading zeros with the use of customer enhancement. (After upload and before posting)
    Can we solve the problem of leading zeros (before the check number) through any configuration steps instead of changing the SAP script form for check(Check lot) or going for customer enhancement.
    Thanks
    Ron

    You are correct, since the check numbers are coming through only in the 16 records and not in the 88 records, you cannot use a search string to resolve the issue with leading zeros.  Also, I do not know of any other configuration that can be used to reformat the reference values in the 16 records.
    The 2 solutions you have listed are both valid options.  Although with the first option (changing the check lots), you would need to make sure the business users approved of changing the check lots before going forward with that option.  And you would still have to manually clear checks that had been issued prior to the check lot change.
    At my company, we went with the second option - using ABAP code to update the check numbers from the file to match those in SAP (we actually had to add leading zeros to the check numbers).  In our case, we had already created a pre-processor program for other re-formatting of the file that was needed prior to loading it into SAP - so we added the check number logic to that.
    However, if you do not have a pre-processor program, I know there is a user exit available for EBS - exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001, include ZXF01U01.  I have heard of others using this exit to update the check numbers from 16 records.  The exit is called during the FF.5 processing.

    IMO it makes more sense to use a native number data type as that is what a sequence generator outputs - and then render that as a text string with leading zero as "+how it looks like+" is a presentation layer issue.
    I would not use a numeric sequence generator to generate unique strings as surrogate key values. There are inherent problems with mixing data types like that.

  • Create Master Data with leading zero

    Dear Expert,
    Our customer request to create Customer Master/Vendor Master/Material Master with leading zero. For example: they want to create Customer 0234578.
    I can do that for material, would you please advise how to do the same for customer/vendor?
    Thanks you,

    Dear Mr.
    Our customer number is in numeric, then this error happen. If customer number constants 1 char, then system will keep zero leading (ex: 012A4) But if customer number constants only numeric, even i type zero, system will remove leading zero.(01234 ==> 1234)
    Please help.

  • Mateiral no. with leading zero

    Dear Experts,
    My case is that I created a material with ext no. assignment e.g. 1234 via BAPI without leading zero. In OMSL, the 2 checkboxes do not check anyaway.
    I check it does exist in MARA, MARC and store with leading zero.
    But I try to display MM03 for that material and enter 1234, the error says "The material 1234 does not exist or is not activated".
    I check that in debugger mode, there is leading zeros added for that material whcih leads to this result.
    Do you know how to solve it?
    Thanks.

    Hi dear,
    Note the following
    1.Lexicographical Indicator: - The appearance of the material no on the front end is governed by this indicator. This indicator is relevant only for numeric material numbers either internally or externally defined.
    2.If the Lexicographical Indicator is not set (indicator is not ticked) incase of external material number assignment, the material numbers are stored with leading zeros. i.e. pure numeric material no 5007453 may look like 0005007453 if the material no length maintained as 10.
    3.If the Lexicographical indicator is set (indicator is ticked) incase of the external material number assignment, the material numbers are not stored with leading zeros. i.e. pure numeric material no 5007453 will look like as 5007453.
    4.If the Lexicographical indicator is set (indicator is ticked) incase of internal material assignment, the material numbers would be padded with leading zeros
    5.This indicator can not be changed once there are numeric materials numbers in the system.
    6.Leading zero indicator: - Along with Lexicographical indicator there is leading zero indicator on the same screen. If the indicator is set (ticked) material number is shown with leading zero, but if the Lexicographical indicator is ticked leading zero indicator is ignored by the system.
    5007453     Material no length 10    External No range   Indicator Not ticked     Result   0005007453
    5007453     Material no length 10    External No range   Indicator Ticked     Result   5007453
    5007453     Material no length 10    Internal No range    Ticked Ticked     Result   0005007453

  • About FF_5(RFEBKA00), how to delete the leading zero by using user exit

    The program RFEBKA00  can handle input files that don't carrry the leading zeros on the check number field.
    But the Table PAYR stores check number with leading zeros
    While inbound, the program will don't work well.
    How should i enhance the program?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    Create a new program that will read the fields..
    Then put the leading zeroes in the check number field..
    And then modify the file..
    You can use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to put leading zeroes..

  • How can we supress leading zeros?

    how can we supress leading zeros?

    use
    <b>CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT</b>
    Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal
    ALPHA conversion is used especially with account numbers. During conversion from the external to the internal format, the system checks to see if input in the INPUT field is purely numeric, that is, if this input consists only of numbers, possibly with spaces before and after them. If this is the case, then the number string is inserted right- justified in the display field OUTPUT and all spaces to the left of the value are filled with zeroes ('0'). If the input is not purely numeric, it is inserted in the display field from left to right and all extra spaces are filled with blanks.
    Example:
    (Input field and output field are both eight characters in length)
    1. '1234 ' --> '00001234'
    2. 'ABCD ' --> 'ABCD '
    3. ' 1234 ' --> '00001234'
    Conversion from the internal to the external format (function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) is undertaken in exactly the opposite manner.
    Usage:
    call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    exporting
    input = v_input
    importing
    output = v_output
    exceptions
    others = 1.

  • Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

    I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
    The result would look like
     A Column
    Job Name
    B ColumnTape #
    Formula needed for B
    ClientName-TapeType-
    ClientName-TapeType-001
    =
    ClientName-TapeType-
    ClientName-TapeType-002
    =
    I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
    That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
    So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
    I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
    I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells.  It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suggestions much appreciated!
