SPP - Unable to load data for numeric parts

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have been trying to upload data from a flat file for a set of numeric parts and have been unsuccessful in doing so. We get an error "No valid item to load into APO-BI". We have been successful in loading data for alphanumeric parts.

We suspected that this may be due to the output format for product number we specified in SPRO (not checked lexicographic). This has resulted in the system attaching leading zeros to the product number. The setting however cannot be changed once a numeric product has been created in the system. We were not able to delete the product (for which we started a separate thread).

Would appreciate if someone could share if there is a workaround to this problem ?

Best Regards

The Problem got resolved as we were able to delete the numeric part numbers and then checking the "lexicographic" option in "Specify Output format of Product Numbers".
