Hi Karthik,

in these cases the best if you create some tests in //MAT1. The BAPI should follow the numbering same logic as you create a product in /SAPAPO/MAT1 manually or even CIF.

Regarding the product master (PRODNO) you can find the settings in SPRO > SAP - Implementation Guide > SCM Basis > Master Data > Product > Specify Output Format of Product Number, I am sure you found that already. BEWARE these settings must be done before the first product master is created in the system !

Regarding the External Product number - if these settings are not sufficient, one can try making adjustments in the following Exits / Badis:

- FM: /SAPAPO/DM_PRODUCTS_MAINTAIN -> function EXIT_SAPMMDUSER_005

- Class: /SAPAPO/IF_EX_PRODU_CONVEX
