Hi,

Can you please tell me the logic for the external number assignemt for the enhancement MGA00002 of material master.

Hi Mallika,

with this exit you can change the material number set externally, like adding a prefix.

Let's say you create a material in TC MM01 with the manually set material number 123. That exit can add a prefix and set the material number to A123.

It might be more easy to see an advantage if materials are created by an IDOC or web service from an external system.

ok, this is a simple example to add a prefix to kanban recipients:

IF mmue1-mtart = 'CONT'    "kanban
   AND NOT matnr(1) = 'A'.
  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT' "remove leading zeros
    EXPORTING
      input  = matnr
    IMPORTING
      output = matnr.
  matnr(1) = 'A'. "prefix
ENDIF.
