LSMW with object 0070 and program RV14BTCI, XK15 and non numerical vendor

[alisa_schlossberg-majer]

I am using LSMW with object 0070 and program RV14BTCI, with XK15.

I concatenate vendor, material, purchasing org, plant and inforecord type.

when using a numerical vendor, I add the leading zeroes but when the vendor is alphanumeric I need to add spaces.

the issue is that when I add the spaces after the vendor, the system does not recognize it and inserts data from the next field instead, affecting also the next fields

how can I concatenate spaces or an alphanumeric vendor into VAKEY?

In ABAP, trailing spaces are always ignored with the C type. They are considered only if you define them with the STRING type (by using backquotes instead of single quotes).

I found a simpler solution

I hope there are no vendors with 2 or more trailing spaces in their code?

hello Raymond

no, these vendors are all the same format
