Leading zeros of matnr.

i would not like material no to be displayed with leading zeros in my alv report, how to control the dispay patten? "lzero" can only affect numc field.

Hi ,
Try this...
SHIFT <matnr> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
OR
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT Conversion exit ALPHA, internal->external
call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
exporting
input = <matnr>
importing
output = <matnr>.

How to remove Leading zeros from MATNR "at Database Level"

Hi,
When we create a material in MM01 , we can either create material as Internal Material No. or External Material No. (By Explicitly entering a material No.)
Our requirement is that: When we create an Internal Material , there should NOT be any Leading Zeros in MATNR.
and for External Material No. , Leading Zeros Should be there. (In Database)
1) Now , we can create the No. Range for material in such a way that it will allow only AlphaNumeric entries for Internal Material , and Only Numeric Entries for External Material No.
This should slove the Purpose.
But According to the Client's requirement , Material No can be Numeric OR Alphanumeric for Internal As well as External Material No.
2) We can Add or Remove leading zeros from MATNR at application level. i.e. we can find some BADI / Enhancement where we will Use the Conversion FM (CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT or CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) and remove Leading Zeros from MATNR. But these changes will NOT reflect at Database Level , Because in MATNR Domain , there is a conversion Routine , That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
3) While Displaying the Material In SE11 , we can also set the "Display Format" as With leading Zeros OR Without Leading Zeros.
But we dont want to Just "Display" material with OR Without Leading Zeros. we want to actually create materials in that way.
What can we do , so that at Database Level our changes are Reflected.
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Gore

That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
That is because you have it configured that way. You can configure the storage as you desire. The default is the behavior you are describing. You, or your functional analyst, need to review the documentation on the MM config settings for material master number storage.
Never use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT for material conversion. Also keep in mind that the MATN1 functions have their own BADI for extended formatting...

Add leading zero to matnr in a conversion program

Hi All,
When uploading matnr from a text legacy file , should i add leading zeroes to the sku value. For ex the data from the lagacy is 1000123456 (10 digits length). The values are always numbers. The matnr in SAP is 18 chars. Should my program transform it into 000000001000123456 before saving it into mara-matnr?
Regards, Oli

Are you sure that in configuration, the Indicator for lexicographical material numbers is unchecked? If it checked, then SAP will not then the all numeric material numbers will not get leading zeros by default. =====>
Indicator for lexicographical material numbers
Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.
Use
Caution
It is only possible to set or reset (cancel) this indicator if no numeric material numbers have been used yet in the system since they would no longer be interpretable after setting or resetting this indicator.
If this indicator is not set, numeric material numbers are padded with leading zeros and stored right-justified

Leading zero check got activated in production .

Hi,
We had a DIMP ( Discrete Industries Mill Products) addtional installation to our existing landscape on last weekedn. we have a strange issue after that.
Most of the select queries based on material number,vendor,customer are failing. with further analysis it was observed that select queries are failing because of leading zero's missing .
we are surprised since the same queries worked perfectly fine before ( and it still runs perfectly fine in qulaity client) but now it is failing.
we know workaround to change all custome programs with conversion exit addtion to material,lifnr,kunnar ect.. but does anybody know if there is any business function which got activated to check leading zero's in select queries and this got activated along with DIMP.
let me know if you have any helpful inputs.
PS: i wnat to restore my original settings for leading zero so we dont need to change nay programs.

Hi Santosh,
some more analysis is required: For the failed selects, where do the missing-leading-zero kunnr/matnr/lifnr come from?
If from screen input, check the screens are active, check the input fields data type, active, conversion exit correct?
It may be a good idea to check the whole system for inactive objects.
If from other sources, check the complete way the data goes before use in SELECT WHERE clause.
If you have found one errors source, this will lead to more.
There are a couple of SAP notes on DIMP, at least the activation process of DIMP should be checked.

Clemens

Why MATNRs leading zeros hv much Impact?

Hi Experts,
Just curious to know that, Why MATNR 's leading zeros do hv much impact on many functions, like data pulling, passing them in FM, display on reports/alv i.e. If I pass my_MATNR as 0000000000000018, data will b pulled, if I pass the same as 18, no result! both together same, right! - 0000000000000018 = 18! I mean, Wht is SAPs idea bhind it/MATNRs behaviour?
I dont think, this is the same case/issue with VBELN/EBELN/KUNNR/LIFNR etc!
thanq.

thanq,
Yes, I hv seen and understand the point.
But, pls. let me clarify that, for instance am loading up the MATMAS from flat file via LSMW, so my_matnr_1_in_flat_file = 18, my_matnr_2_in_flat_file = AB, my_matnr_3_in_flat_file = 00000000000018, so, How they r stored/posted in data base?
1)my_matnr_1_in_flat_file = 18, Is it undergoes Conversion<i><b>(CONVERSION_XXXXXX_INPUT)</b></i> routine and stored as 000000000018?
2)my_matnr_2_in_flat_file = AB, Is it undergoes Conversion routine and stored as AB________________?16spaces
3)my_matnr_3_in_flat_file = 00000000000018, It is NOT undergo for conversion routine? coz, its already possessing the leading zeros!
coz, I set breakpoint in CONVERSION_XXXXXX_OUTPUT, and pulled the MATNRs from MARA into my_alv, but the control did not stopped in the said routine!
thanq.

UDF for leading zero's in message mapping

Dear team,
I need UDF for leading zero's in my message mapping.
Source and Target both structures contains matnr field.But we have to maintain total 18 chars at target matnr , because RFC in R/3 needed.So I want to add leading zero's when mapping. Can anybody provide the UDF code.
Matnr[source]--->split by value(eachvalue) ->UDF->Matnr[Target]
Ex::if source matnr conatains value "9846538" ; I need matnr value at target side like "000000000009846538"[total 18 chars].

Removing leading zeros in a column

Hi,
I would like to remove leading zeros of a column in a table. My Questions :
1. Is it possible?
2. Where is it better to truncate, in RFC or Web Dynpro?.
3. If Possible, How can I do that.
I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Sunita.

Hi Sunita,
Please specify the datatype of the column that contains leading zeros, because if the data type of the column is integer then the leading zeros are automatically taken care.
If your RFC return you int and you are assigning it to a String then the leading zeros will appear.
For example, see the below simple ABAP Program. Just copy and execute it. You will see the difference.
data: a type mara-matnr,
str type string.
select single matnr from mara into a.
write a.
str = a.
write / str.
Hope it helps you.

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

Leading zeros in XLS sheet

Hello Experts,
I have one report in ALV format. It is displayed perfect.
When we download it into XLS format it appends leading zeros in 'NETWORK no' Field.
Can you all please help me how to remove it?
Remember, ALV is showing perfect o/p. So
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALFA_OUTPUT or any other FM in that category is of no use.
Also there is no code to download in XLS. User selects Standord procedure to download from ALV.
But he is getting Leading zeros.
I would be thankful for the help.
Best Regards,
Harish

HI Joshia,
Lets consider you are downloading MATNR which comes with leading Zero.
We solve this by below case .
you can download the value in character format with preceding single quote .
if you are downloading 000010 means, assign that value as '000010.
So that, excel can treat it as character & the zeros will be retained.
While uploading the data to internal table it_material
CONCATENATE '"' it_material-matnr into it_material-matnr.
append it_material.

Leading zeroes dropped in Excel

Hello folks
I've got an issue with using downloading data onto an Excel file using the FM GUI_Download. The leading zeroes of the PERNR field get truncated when opening the file with MS Excel.
However the zeroes are in place when the downloaded file is opened with notepad or any other text editor.
Is there any solution to prevent Excel from dropping the leading zeroes.
I'm currently using tab as the field separator, and have defined the PERNR field as TYPE C at the internal table used for populating and displaying the data.

Hi,
data:matnr(20) type c.
concatenate text-001 g_t_ekpo-matnr into g_t_ekpo-matnr.
text-001 is having '.
I had declared the Matnr as type c so that it can accomodate that single quote.It is indeed downloading the matnr with preceeding zeroes into the excel but along with the single quote.Can't we get the preceeding zeroes into excel without the single quote into the excel.
Thanks,
Kiran.

How to remove leading Zeroes in all fields in Payload

Hi,
How can I remove the leading Zeroes in every Filed I have in whole Payload Structure.there are around 10000 fields that have to be removed the leading Zeroes.any good idea please.
   <POSNR>000010</POSNR>
<MATNR>000002465640</MATNR>
<ARKTX>000012 KG D107</ARKTX>

<WERKS>0000ORGC</WERKS>
<LGORT>0000GC55</LGORT>
<CHARG>000TEST</CHARG>
like this mutliple segments and multiple Fields.so I can take as whole payload with multiple fields should not have leading Zeroes.I can handle if they are 10 0r 20 fileds,but not like whole pay load/1000 fields right.
thank you,

Hi
You can have an additional XSLT mapping, to your existing one..
use copy-of & apply-templates to copy the whole tree & make changes recursively.
below is a sample code , the marked line is where you need to try your logic of trimming Zeros. (this code does upper case)
add this below code in your interface mapping object, as XSLT mapping, which does the job (only try putting your logic)
<xsl:stylesheet
                  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                  version="2.0">
            <xsl:output method="xml"
                        indent="yes"
                        omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
            <xsl:template match="*">
                  <xsl:copy>
                        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
                  </xsl:copy>
            </xsl:template>
            <xsl:template match="text()">
                  <xsl:value-of select="upper-case(.)"/>
            </xsl:template>
      </xsl:stylesheet>
hope this fixes your issue

How to remove leading zeroes on form.

Hi all,
   Is there a way that I can remove the leading zeros that come along with the Serial number from showing in my form.
i.e for example: the value of &QALS-EMATNR&
Actual value in the databse table is : "0280012380",
Printing value on the form is            : "000000000280012380",
Now I should get the actual value of the field EMATNR
   I had tried with the ways like..
&QALS-EMATNR(Z)&
&QALS-EMATNR(CIZ)&
Is there any aternatives???
Thanks,
Surender.

Hi
If you print 000000000280012380 it means the value in the variable QALS-EMATNR is 000000000280012380.
The field EMATNR has MATNR as domain, this is a type char long 18, it has the routines MATN1 for input/output convertion and that routine doesn't delete the leading.
I think the option Z works for type number only, so u need to delete the leading zero before printing the data.
So just as somebody said u can use the fm CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in order to convert the output format, u should use it in driver program:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            input = QALS-EMATNR
       IMPORTING
            output = QALS-EMATNR.
If you can't change the program, u can create a routine (form) in a new program and call it by the sapscript:
/: PERFORM DELETE_LED_ZERO IN PROGRAM ZPROGRAM
/: USING       &QALS-EMATNR&
/: CHANGING &QALS-EMATNR&
/: ENDPERFORM
* &QALS-EMATNR(Z)&
So create the new program where defining the routine
FORM DELETE_LED_ZERO TABLES IN_TAB   STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                                        OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: MATNR TYPE MATNR.
READ TABLE IN_TAB WITH KEY NAME = ' QALS-EMATNR'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE IN_TAB-VALUE TO MATNR.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
          EXPORTING
               input = MATNR
          IMPORTING
              output = MATNR
    READ TABLE OUT_TAB WITH KEY NAME = ' QALS-EMATNR'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
       MOVE MATNR TO OUT_TAB-VALUE.
       MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
