Leading zero in G/L account

Hello together,
OSS 10714 describes, that it is not possible to create or to use accounts with leading zeroes and in standard SAP it will never be possible. But if you need to have it, SAP can make it possible.
In my case it has to be done. It's a mustn or rather we are discussing about it. There are voices who are adamant that it works and other who say no. How ever if it has to be - then SAP will have to do the modification.
So can somebody tell me how many man days approximately it will cost to let SAP do this modification?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
the requirement is to be able to create them with leading zeroes, to display them with the exact number of leading zeros and of course to print them with the exact number of leading zeroes.
I just spoke again with our controlling and it showed me again the problem.
We dont have accounts with leading zero, but the destination accounts (also a SAP System) have leading zeroes.
At the moment they have to work with 2 charts of accounts daily and this is a great handicap for them. The goal is just to work with the same chart of account as the destination system.
Thanks for your estimation - thats something I can and did communicate - but I have to do a SAP call to get an "offer".
Regards
Heiko

Display of leading zeros for a GL account in FS00

Hi all,
does anyone know is it possible to set something in SAP so that in transaction FS00 the gl account number is displayed with leading zeros? Now they are removed.
Thanks!

Hi Dusan,
"Alpha conversion" is already implemented on the domain (SAKNR) itself. You can modify the system (take out conversion exit "ALPHA") from domain SAKNR but I'm guessing this might create inconsistencies in many other dictionary objects.
I think it's better to consider alternavtives - like using character + number as GL account (e.g. A345999)..

Leading Zeros in Cost Center Account Creation

Hi All,
I am creating new cost centers using KS01. The problem I have is that the numbering system that my client requires have leading zeros for some of the cost centers, e.g. 00702. However, the system is not taking the leading zeros and creating them as 702 using my earlier example. Is there any way I can force the system to accept the leading zeros. Thank you for your responses.

Yomi

Hi,
I do not think it is feasible... have a read on this OSS note :

Leading Zeros in bank Account for EBS

Hi,
We configured the bank account number with two leading zeros in the house bank. Say for example i defined the bank account number as 0012345 Under house bank HSBC.
When I receive the bank statement, the bank account number is coming with 12 digits i.e. will all leading zeros. say for example 000000012345.
When i am loading the bank statement using the transaction FF_5, the system is giving the error Table "T012K does not have an entry with bank account number 12345". The client is saying the length of account number is 7 digits and should be maintained as 0012345. However the EBS is not working with the leading zeros. How can we fix this issue?
Regards
Kotesh Padarti

Hello!
You can try to configure alternatice bank account in FI12. This is used in situations when the presentation of bank account in bank statement differs from that configured in main bank account field e.g. your house bank might provide you with the following layouts 000000012345 or 0012345USD etc. Therefore this functionality enables the system to recognize the bank account.
Hope this will help you!
Best Regards!

Any advice plz

Hi,
We can use java scripts. However, I am not sure whether something like this can be achieved or not.

Adding leading zeros in a field mapping

Hi,
I am getting account as a 5 char field in the input file. I need to map this to a 10 char field in XI and add leading zeros in case the value is all numeric. Is there any standard data type/ mapping that can achieve this or I need to write a UDF.
Thanks,

formatNum field will cause an exception if your input isnt all numeric...
I'd go for UDF id your input isnt always numeric.

Leading zeros remove from FB05 for assignment field in process open items b

Dear expert
At present i am using the electronic bank statement completed OT83 & OT51configuration, when i am running FF-5 the EBS soft copy has been uploaded and created batch input session.
I executed batch input session and the transactions has been posting through FB05 for outgoing payment clearing with assignment field ( where check number is laying correctly and matching EBS soft copy cheque number and SAP outgoing clearing account line item assignment cheque number ) in case of outgoing clearing is happening correctly.
but where as i have a problem incoming clrg cheque number which is displaying in assignment field and updated when client using FF68(check deposit / collections).
the user is punching all collections from customers using t.code FF68 and cheque number is updated with 6 digit number in the variant. it is like a JV.
after posting batch input session the cheque is number displaying in assignment field. the cheque number is updated with 6 digit number. but in the variant cheque number width 6 digit only but after posting FF68 & SM35 the system automatically taking leading zeros for the remaining length. Cheque number standard length in SAP 13 in table .
total 13 digit length but user punched only 6 digit only, because the cheque number 6 digit numberonly. so the remaining 7 digits it is occupaying 0000000.
while executing FF_5 and SM35 (thr FB05) the assignment field cheque number (0000000586585) and soft copy cheque number 6 digit (586585) is not matching , because of that i am unable to clear the incoming collections or incoming payments clrg.
so how can i remove the leading zeros after cheque number ( actually displaying 0000000586585 , but i want without zeros only cheque number 586585) in assignment field in FB05 using FF-5 & SM35).
is there any enhancement or user exit to remove leading zeros or any other way of work around .
Regards

Hi Amareswar,
In your case, request your bank to provide cheque number with leading zeros in electronic bank statement as the leading zeros in the assignment field is SAP system behaviour.
Alternatively, use 'Define Search String for Electronic Bank Statement' (refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/6d/0cdf4b142e11d3963800a0c9426c73/frameset.htm for details) in the IMG, customize it to search for the cheque number provided in the note to payee field > then append leading zeros.
The first method is the solution we are using and it is the most cost effective.
Hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
John Chin

Preserve Leading Zeros in SQL export to TXT

I need to export accounting data from SQL to a series of TXT files, with a "ServiceCode" of 02. I cannot get the
leading zero to stick.
Here is the section of the SQL stored procedure that pulls the serviceCode of “02.”
IF @serviceCode =
'02'
BEGIN
SELECT @total =
COALESCE(SUM(Price),0),
@itemCount = COALESCE(SUM(ItemCount),0)
FROM #tblData
WHERE CostCenter = @costCenter
AND ServiceCode
IN(SELECT
DISTINCT [ServiceCode]
FROM [DsPcDb].[dbo].[Service_T]
WHERE [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%color%'
AND [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%scan%'
AND [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%fax%'
AND [ServiceCode] <=
196623)
END
...and here is some text from the "02" output .txt file, with the leading zero stripped out of the third column:
11/21/2014,00000-24057,2,1125
11/21/2014,00001-MKTG12,2,150
11/21/2014,40059-00395,2,62
11/21/2014,40059-00409,2,32
11/21/2014,40059-00428,2,12
11/21/2014,40059-00432,2,2
11/21/2014,40059-00434,2,218
This won't let the receiving database import the data. ("02" is a specific code.) Three other txt files from this
procedure are imported properly.
Please help! Thanks!

You need to cast the servicecode field to varchar to make sure it retains leading zero.
So in your case make variable type varchar and also places where you select from field cast it to varchar.

Leading zeros still deleted after applying note 1113276

Hello
We are experimenting some issues with the automatic replenishment and we do not know if we are filling in the necessary fields
in the material master. our goal is to forecast consumption based on the historical values, the chosen model is the moving average model.
the data we have entered:
RP type -> VM
Lot size -> EX
Service Level -> 95
forecast model -> G
period indicator -> W
consumption level promotions -> white
stock planner -> 001
planned delivery time -> 14
historical periods -> 5
forecast periods -> 1
periods per season -> 52
With these data, if we run the forecast with MP30 or MP38, the system only takes into account the dates from the first sale.
the first historical periods with no sale before the first sale are not taken into account.
example:
week 1: 0 sales
week 2: 0 sales
week 3: 0 sales
week 4: 10 sales
week 5: 0 sales
we want forecast=10/5=2 sales units per week, but we get 10/2=5 units per week.
we have already implemented note 1113276 that should correct this error on leading zeros, but the error still persists.
the snote transaction indicates that the note 1113277 is not implementable.
How can we fix this with the notes already implemented, and yet the system continues to eliminate the zeros?
thank you very much
regards

Hello and thanks.
To clear things up, we tried to install note 1113276 with SNOTE but SAP didn't proceed because first we had to create the enhancement spot MATERIAL_FORECAST. We then created MATERIAL_FORECAST with SE18 and the result is as follows:
[https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7O_D6LmdFoU/ToWA4bo3SdI/AAAAAAAAABc/VNmfcz5mkLM/s800/Selecci%2525C3%252583%2525C2%2525B3n_999%252528061%252529.jpeg]
Did we fill in right the 'X' from note 1113277?
Regards.

Leading Zeros in the Numeric Field

I am working with accounting numbers that may start with zero (0). After this information is inputted and you tab or hit return the leading zero is removed and goes to the first numberic digit. How can I make the leading zero display?
Thanks,

Change the display format to show all numbers ('9,999,999.99')and not to supress the leading zero (z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99').
More information about the display format is contained in the 'Scripting Reference' under LiveCycle Designer's 'Help' menu option.

How to keep leading Zeros in a CSV file

Hi All -
I am trying to keep leading zeros in CSV file. Ex. I need 00001 but not just 1. I tried formatting the cells but not getting saved. Any advise please.
Thanks.

Dear Super Man ,
Try using ALPHA Conversion Routine
ALPHA Conversion Routine
The ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers

What I have:
1. ALV (hier)
2. Char field 'DEBIT' type SAKNR.
3. Field catalog TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv,
   created by FUNCTION MODULE 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'.
The problem is: i need to show leading zeros in ALV.
For example: an account '07110000' (in the inner table) is shown as '7110000'.
What I've done:
1. ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
     ls_fieldcat-no_convext = 'X'.
2. CLEAR ls_fieldcat-ref_tabname.
     ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
( ls_fieldcat-ref_fieldname was clear after filling by the function module)
I'm realy waiting for your advice!

I've tried it, but it doesn't work:
    ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 8.
    ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
    ls_fieldcat-no_convext = 'X'.

    ls_fieldcat-datatype = 'NUMC'.
    ls_fieldcat-inttype = 'N'.

Leading zeroes when loading data

Hi ,
I have infobject 0gl_account being used in production . I am now using it in a custom ods also.
however , when i load data into the ods , GL account field gets loaded with leading zeroes.
when i load master data to 0gl_account, there are no leading zeroes . My ODS activation gives
an error saying NO SID exists for gl acct 000999999 , whereas gl acct 999999 exists in the
master data.
I can change settings of 0gl_account as it is already being used in production . is there
a way to resolve this without creating a custom infoobject .
pls guide
thanks

Hi,
this sounds very strange, because normally the master data should come with leading zeroes. Additionally the conversion exit ALPHA is switched on for infoobject 0gl_account. Make sure that everything is set up correctly and your master data gets loaded correctly.

Leading zero for Product ID deleted when posting confirmation

Dear All,
I'm facing a problem when posting confirmation document from SRM to backend for PO item WITHOUT account assignment. When I want to post confirmation document, there is an error message 'Material document data and PO data do not match (Material )'. When I check the Idoc for confirmation, the leading zero in product ID was deleted in Idoc. For Example:
The product ID is 000000001600000000 (18 character, as defined in Tcode COMCPRFORMAT) when confirmation document created, but the document can't be posted, I can only save the document. And when I check the Idoc, the product ID became 1600000000.
I've already create a PO and confirmation for the same product using account assignment (Cost Center). And confirmation posted succesfully in backend. FYI, I've already implement note 1568941 in my SRM system.
Does anyone here ever have the same problem?
Rgds,
Aleluya.

problem solved after implement note 1592750
