Alpha Numeric EAN Number Range Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Our Client Uses Article Number as EAN Code in IS Retail system.

He Requires Alphanumeric EAN with Length from 13 to 18.

I have assigned Number Range Interval from 000001A ~ 999999ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

System is accepting these article Codes 602-ZZ-888-XL, 5002-ZZ-888-L, 5002-ZZ-888-XL, where as not accepting this article Code 602-ZZ-888-L as EAN.

Pls suggest why system is not accepting this ?

Is there any way to find out what are the values in between (000001A ~ 999999ZZZZZZZZZZZ) for this series?

If I am using Alpha numeric EAN, whether is it mandatory to have 18 digits?

Any Input is highly apreciable.

Thanks and Regards,

Selvakumar. M

Hi Sevakumar,

For each interval, you define whether numbers are assigned externally or internally.

Be sure to enter 18-character number range intervals, that is, with leading zeros if necessary, since the system will otherwise interpret your entry as left-justified.

If you enter ABCD, the system will interpret your entry as ABCD______________. However, if you want the system to interpret your entry as right-justified, you must enter 00000000000000ABCD.

Example

You want to create an interval for 13-figure instore EANs which start with 200. You enter only the first 12 figures, leaving the 13th figure blank:

From number To number

200000000000_ 200999999999_

Since your requirement is not Standard you can explore using "BADI_EAN_SYSTEMATIC"
