SAP console

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am encountering an issue in SAP console. In a console, there is an editable field for storage bin(LTAP-NLPLA).

The data type is u2018CHARu2019 of length 10. I am defaulting it with a value DEFAUL_G<2 numeric characters>. User is scanning the barcode to change the default bin. Currently, the barcode bin is of length 8. In future there is a possibility for the bin to be of 9/10 characters.

When the barcode is scanned, only 8 characters are overwritten and the remaining characters are not cleared.

e.g. Before scanning the bar code

BIN : DEFAUL_G54

After scanning the bar code [bin : L02001RJ]

Expected o/p : L02001RJ

Actual o/p : L02001RJ54

Any pointers to fix this issue will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

A correction in the question. The actual o/p is L01002RJ54.

Would it be possible to default it to 'DEF_G54' ( DEF_G<2 numeric> ), so that you will not have the additional numbers at the end if the scanned values is 8 characters or more as other options like taking first 8 characters or replacing the last two characters with space will not be future compatible.

Hi Suman,

Thanks for your suggestion.But user is not agreeing to that solution. Is there any other way to solve this issue?
