CIF transfer of Product

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have a situation where we transferred a product ( say XYZ) through CIF, but after the transfer the external product no in the product master of APO has zeros ahead of it and shows it as 000000000000000XYZ . The orders in this product are not going to R/3 as they are going to R/3 with this no ( i.e 000000000000000XYZ) which does not have an integration model. The integration model in R/3 has only XYZ in it and no zeros.

Can you suggest how to correct this error and remove zeros, so that we can integrate th eorders in APO with R/3.

Hi Sireesh,

As you are ciffing the product from R/3 to APO, it considers the configuration

and settings done at R/3 customisation as well.

You need to check the lexicographic settings at both the below levels.

In R/3, the lexicographic setting will be done in spro>logistics-general>

material master>basic settings>define output format of material numbers.

In APO, it is done at spro>APO>Master data>Product>specify output format of

product numbers.

This will resolve your query

Please confirm

Hi Sireesh,

T-Code: SPRO

Under Advanced Planning and Optimization> Product>Specify Output Format of Product Number

Unchecked Leading Zero,

Checked Lexicographical and then saved

Now try to CIFF any new Product/Material from R\3 to APO check whether it is working fine.

Please let me know if problem is not resolved.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please check the SPRO settings under 'Specify Output Format of Product Number'. There is an setting for Leading Zeros.
