Material number with leading zeros (40 char long)

[Former Member]

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.
