Leading Zero in Material Master

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to do a simple select query from MAR inside the BADI imp of IDOC_CREATION_CHECK, i get the Material no from segment E1MARAM of IDOC data & fill this in work area & use it

Now in one environment, the material no is coming without leading Zero's in another it is coming with.

What could be the difference in setting /user setting where in one environment it is coming with leading & in one without.

PS: In any way i am going to use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to covert but curious to know.

Thanks

Hi Harish,

I'm not sure why, I'm just replying because you should use CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT instead of CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.

Of course, your problem is in the sender system.

I might be wrong but if I remember correctly you have to define in the ALE model whether material numbers are to be distributed in internal or external format. That is, if OMSL are equal of course.
