Remove Leading zeros for Material in Transformation

Hi Experts,
I'm using DTP first time. I don't have much exp on DTP & Transformations.
I'm creating infocube with some objects. I want to remove leading zeros for zmaterial.
In 3.x writen update routines as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
result value of the routine
RESULT = zmat.
I'm confusing in Transfermation where to write this routines.
I'm writing in Transformation as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
RESULT = zmat.
But it's getting remove zero's.
Anybody suggest on this.
Siri

Dear Sir,
No confusion at all.
Just double click on the Target Infoobjct i,e Material object in Transformation, you will see a wizard popping up.
There you will see a option called "RULE TYPE" and the default value will be "Direct Assignment". In the same check box click on the drop down icon and select "Routine".
The moment you select the routine option, it will open up ABAP workspace where in you can write your routine and get the desired result.
Hope it helps.

Removal of leading zeros for material no. in report

hi
my issue is that i have to remove leading zeros for material number when displaying in alv grid.iam getting output.but leading have to truncated automatically.
eg: 000000000000000102
the ouput should be 102.
please do provide solution for this or any function module.thanks in advance.

Hi Sanjana,
while populating the internal table use the conversion exit available for MATNR. this will remove the leading zeros.
oter possible way, declare the internaltable by referring the data element MATNR, i hope if you do this, it will delete the leading zeros automaticallt.
or if you declare the internal table field as charecter type, use the ALPLA_CONVERSION_EXIT_INPUT ot OUTPUT function module to remove the leading zeros.

How to remove leading zero from Material Number

Hello Everyone,
I need to figure it out how to remove leading zero from material number. Cureently extractor is sending material number as 100663. But when comes into BI i am getting as "000000000000100663" and similariy in report it is appearing as "000000000000100663". Now my client wants me to exclude preceeding zero for a material in all the reports.
Is there any setting in query desinger to handle this issure or in the backend.
Need your inputs.
Thanks,
Lasya.

Hi
you can use the function Module
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in the start routine
to test this go to SE37 --- give the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT -
>display -
> F8
in the input give 000000456
and execute
the out put will be 456
for getting Zeros you can use
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT--- to remove leading zeros

Delete leading zeros for material in mapping.

Hi,
How to delete leading zeros for material like 0000000128736 if so I am expecting 128736 only.
We need to consider if I get material number is like RPG2389 .
Thanks,

Hi,
If you will be getting alphanumeric codes, it would be best to use a UDF with a regex-expression.
UDF Type:
ContextType
imports:
java.util.regex; (if you are using PI 7.1 you must remove the semicolon)
arguments:
input1
Here's the code (courtesy of Sun Developer Network):
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^a-zA-Z]");
        Matcher m = p.matcher(input1[0]);
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        boolean output = m.find();
        while(output) {
            m.appendReplacement(sb, "");
            output = m.find();
        m.appendTail(sb);
result.addValue(input1[1]);
Now to solve the leading zeroes, just add formatNumber: 0 after the UDF and it will work.
Hope this helps,

Remove leading zeros for invoice lists to allow auto lockbox processing

I have a change request for the following document at my job. but i am very new into it and do not know how to start and what to do exactly? can anyone please help me what to do in this matter.
SAP auto posting process for lockbox checks was created to post cash with minimal manual intervention.
Transaction FLB2 is used to import a lockbox file from Bank of America containing customer payment detail to auto match and clear invoices in the AR subledger. The auto post program tries to match an invoice number from the Reference field to the invoice # in the lockbox file which does not have any leading zeroes. In order to allow this match to happen a user exit was developed to remove any leading zeros from the Reference field in the invoices It works fine for regular invoices but not for the invoice lists u2013 invoice numbers in the 76xxxxxx range. The leading zeros are not removed there, so these invoices fall out of the auto posting process. It has been expressed that we need to improve our automated check posting hit rate for better efficiencies, and to do so we need to have these invoice list invoices fixed in the same way as the regular invoices are.
please advise
Vishal

can anybody please answer it?

Removing Leading Zeros

Hi Friends,
I need to delete leading zeros from material while loading to ODS and have tried followings options:
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT
Shift Variable LEFT deleting leading zeroes
Both the options did not work in my case. I need to delete leading zeros from material. For example if source has material as "00000000002213749R" I was to convert it as "2213749R".
Following is the code I am using in transformation:
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
     EXPORTING
          INPUT = LV_MATNR
     IMPORTING
          OUTPUT = LV_MATNR.
     RESULT = LV_MATNR.
Also I tried the following code for SHIFT:
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
SHIFT LV_MATNR LEFT deleting leading zeroes
RESULT = LV_MATNR.
I tried both the option but could not get the leading zeros deleted. Can some one let me know whats wrong with the code, or is there any other option i can try for?
Thanks,
Manmit

Hi amitesh,
             Please try this code
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
SHIFT LV_MATNR LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
RESULT = LV_MATNR.
Hope this will help u.....

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
Edited by: anandgore on May 18, 2011 3:47 PM

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...

Hi,
What type control you are useing for date .
If you are useing Input field of date type or Date picker control you should get this option in the control properties.
Can you tell me what are tabs are appaering in the conrtol properties.
2.When you you are using the formula Round(@material) ,Are you typing it or draging Field from right side in to the formula .If you did not drag it you will get Message:Formula has errors.
One more probelm is there if the Data type of field where you using formula is not Number type.
Check all above and get back to me.
3.You are not able to give 6 points for all because its a resrticed one you execeded giving6 points option now you can give only 10 points.

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.

XmltoQuery removing leading zero

Hi,
I have a function that takes in a raw xml and covert to query. The problem is any leading zeroes are gone. For example, 000123 will become 123. Is there any way or function in CF that will stop from removing leading zeroes?
Thanks,

Oh, sorry. It's not the XML to Query problem but it's the cfquery problem. When I cfdump the data, it shows 000123, but when I use <cfquery> to insert the data into a dabase, it strips the leading zeroes and in the db table it shows only 123. Is there a function or something to prevent this?
<cfoutput query="get_xml_data">
<cfquery name="test" datasource="db">
INSERT INTO table (id, name)
VALUES (#get_xml_data.id#, #get_xml_data.name#)
</cfquery>
</cfoutput>

Appending leading zeros to material number

I want to form a object key for material number. so i need to append leading zeros to material number. but i am getting "TYPE CONFLICT" shot dump in FM 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'.
The following code is giving the dump.
data: wa_object(18) type c.
wa_object = '100301010'. "Material No
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

    INPUT         = wa_object
    IMPORTING

Please tell me how to rectify the short dump which uses Conversion_exit_alpha_input.
Thanks .

Hi Shankar,
When ever u pass parameters to any function module the type of parameters must match with the ones defined in function module. Here u defined ur object key like this
data: wa_object(18) type c.(18 digits). But the in function module it referenced with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT (50 digits). So u have to define the variable with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
Check this solution. It will work for u.
data: wa_object(18) type c,
           wa_object1 TYPE BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
wa_object = '100301010'. "Material No
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = wa_object
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = wa_object.
wa_object1 = wa_object.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
OBJECTKEY = wa_object1
OBJECTTABLE = 'MARA'
CLASSNUM = 'FINISHED_MATERIAL'
CLASSTYPE = '001'
KEYDATE = SY-DATUM
UNVALUATED_CHARS = ' '
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
TABLES
ALLOCVALUESNUM = IT_ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCHAR
ALLOCVALUESCURR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCURR
RETURN = IT_RETURN

How to update the Field by Remove Leading Zeroes in Entire table

Hi all,
I need an SQL query to update the Table by upadating a particular field(column) by removing all the leading zeroes for all the rows corresponding to that column.
Ex:;
Existing To be changed to::(New Table)
A B New A New B
000011 1 11 1
000012 2 12 2
000013 3 13 3
Thanks in Advance,
plz do reply soon..

Come on, it's not that hard:
UPDATE your_table
SET yourcolumn = ltrim(yourcolumn, '0')
;You are aware, that you have to commit those changes afterwards, right? If you don't know, what UPDATE / COMMIT in an Oracle database means, you may want to take a look at the user guides first.
