Alphanumeric Vendor Id

[Former Member]

Dear SRMers,

System Info ECC 6.0 and SRM 5.0

I am replicating vendors from ECC to SRM. One of the vendor ID in the ECC is

alphanumeric (EX: Vendor ID = Argentina5).

For this vendor I am getting a warning when executing BBPGETVD . The warning message is " If you use external number assignment, you will lose the data record" and it says Invalid External Vendor Description for "Argentina5".

On the SRM side I defined the BP range from A to ZZZZZZZZZZ to handle alphanumeric ids from the ECC side.

Please let me know if anyone has come across this situation and what may be the solution..

Points will be rewarded for answers.

Thanks in advance,

Bob
