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

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Numbers with leading zeros

    I am using Framemaker 8 - unstructured.
    I have a requirement that the work packages/documents within a book contain an identifying number that begins with leading zeros and is four-digits long. This number also increments from one document to the next.
    For example, first work package is '0001', next one is '0002', '0003', .... '0010', '0011', etc.
    For the automatic incrementing, I am treating these work packages as chapters. However, I have not seen an automatic way to have the leading zeros.
    I've come up with the following process:
    First, I've created a text box on the master pages in which I entered 000 and then I insert the Chapter Number variable at the end. The tricky thing here is when I reach the tenth work package, the number on the master page has to change slightly to 00<$chapter number>. Note: I've tried also using the <n+> autonumbering scheme but this didn't work out as well as the chapter number variable.
    I've looked briefly into using conditional text for automatically deciding when '000' or '00' is used, but have been unable to figure this out.
    Any suggestions for something more automatic?

    You can fake this using paragraph autonumbering and create a tab leader where the "0" digit is used as the leader. Set a right-aligned tab position where you want the right-most digit of the id number to begin. You have to play around with position and font size to get it to look right.

  • 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!
    Ted

    Ted,
    This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
    =A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)

    HI KC,
    then no need to download the zeros,
    after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
    hope this solves your query
    a small example
    Loop at itab into is.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
    INPUT = is-vbeln "(  this is without zeros)
    IMPORTING
    OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
    modify itab from is.
    endloop.

  • 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.

  • BPC 7.5 NW: Master Data with leading zeros

    In BPC 7.5 NW, is it still an issue to have Master data with leading zeros?
    In other words, is it still not advisable to have leading zeros in the Master data.
    Let me know your views.
    Thanks.

    I was also having the same issue almost in the same version.
    Other than what you mentioned, the master data was also jumbling up like 0120, 0130, 0145, were set up as 120, 145, 130....
    The workaround that we took was to put a leading alphabet, when the data comes into BPC.
    Try doing that, it will surely help.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • ** 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.

  • Padding a julian date with leading zeros ?

    Hi,
    I have gernerated a julian date, which I am appending to another two digit number to create a five digit serial number.
    Is there a simple way to pad the first 99 days with leading zeros ( i.e. 001, 002....025...099) so that I maintain a five digit serial number ?
    I am using   Get Date In Time/Seconds > Number To Decimal String > Unbundle >Number to Decimal String.

    Any of the above 4 should work.  T0.CardCode is the database field I tested, you can substitute this with any database field and it should work.

  • Padding a value with leading zeros

    Hi
    I am trying to create a filename (String) using a sequence int. I need this int to be 6 digits, with leading zeros
    i.e. if my seqence number is 23 my filename (String) should be:
    FILE000023
    Obviously I can do this by creating my own method that iterates through the number, but I was wondering if there was a simple method to change an int to a String and pad it out with leading zeros.
    Thanks
    Neil.

  • 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.

  • Display numbers formatted with leading zeros or spaces.

    There are some cases where you might need to display numbers with leading zeros or leading spaces, or trailing zeros.  I experimented with several methods and came up with some examples.  This is a Console application, but the results can just
    as well be output to a listbox in a Windows form.
    Sub Main()
    Dim snum As String, inum As Integer = 56
    snum = inum.ToString()
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString()")
    snum = inum.ToString("D4") 'adds leading zeros
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""D4"")")
    snum = inum.ToString("F4") '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""F4"")")
    Console.WriteLine()
    snum = String.Format("{0,4}", inum) 'leading spaces
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0,4}")
    snum = String.Format("{0:D4}", inum) 'leading zeros
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:D4}")
    snum = String.Format("{0:F4}", inum) '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:F4}")
    Console.WriteLine()
    snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, "0"c) 'leading zeros
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, ""0""c)")
    snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, " "c) 'leading spaces
    Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, "" ""c)")
    Console.ReadLine() Console.Clear()
            For x As Integer = 1 To 20
                snum = x.ToString("D4")
                Console.WriteLine(snum)
            Next x
            Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
    Solitaire

    I would add that many of these methods also work with numeric types that are not integers.
    Note that the "D4" format string doesn't work for non-integral types (such as Double and Decimal), and the "F4" format string doesn't pad with trailing zeros, it rounds to 4 decimal places (which can lose information). PadLeft works with
    the entire string, it isn't aware of the decimal point.

  • Exporting Numbers file with leading zeros as csv file

    When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?

    "When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?"
    Well, the first thing you could do would be to post your question in one of the forums for Numbers.
    Click Discussions to get to the Discussions index page, then the section for the version of iWork you're using, then the Numbers forum in that section.
    In AppleWorks (which doesn't offer an opportunity to Save as or Export as csv) I'd force the application to see the phone numbers as text by inserting some non-numeric characters into the string of digits.
    Examples: 000-123-4567, 000 123 4567
    It may also be a function of the application you are using to open the csv file.
    When I did a brief test of the suggestion above with Numbers '09, I got this result on opening the file in Text Edit:
    ,1234567890,num
    ,123-456-7890,tex
    ,0123456789,num
    ,012-345-6789,tex
    ,0001234567,num
    ,000-123-4567,tex
    Note that both the examples entered as a string of digits only (num) and those entered with inserted hyphens (tex) kept the leading zeroes. Cell format for the column containing the phone numbers was set to Text.
