DIR starting with Zero

Former Member

Hi All

We have few documents in our old legacy system which are starting with "Zero" number. We want to migrate these documents in SAP with the same number

Does SAP support this ? Is it possible to create DIR starting " 0" number?

Thanks

Yogesh,

You can create a DIR record starting wiith "0". If the DIR number has only 0-9 (numbers only) in it, the DIR number will be padded with zeros on the left.

012345 would become 0000000000000000000012345 in SAP.

However 012345A would be 01235A. No padding if the DIR number does not look like a "number".

Using SE16, look at the Draw table and you will see this.

We purchased a company who's name starting with "D". This was our solution....

012345 was put into the SAP system as 012345-D. On a search screen. Looking for 012345* will find 012345-D. We have some web portal search screens for documents, so we can hard code the concatenation of the "*" to the end of what the user inputs for the document number.

Yes. It is possible. In DC10, configure Number assignment to 5. With this configuration, you can have your DIR name in whatever way you want.
