Here is my scanario and what I tried in development system.
I have MATERIAL and PLANT in the Cube in the same dimension and I added MAT_PLANT to it using Remodeling workbench. The update is 1:1 update from MATERIAL. I saved the rule and ran it. It ran fine. Everything seems to be fine.
BUT, when I looked at the data in the LISTCUBE, I noticed weird values for MAT_PLANT. If MATERIAL is 15734, then MAT_PLANT is 4. It is trimming the first 4 characters.
Both MATERIAL and MAT_PLANT are delivered obejcts with exact length 18. And the remodeling rule is also a simple one with 1:1 mapping. I didn't understand why this strange behavior.
I think I am giving up using this remodeling rule thingy and I am better off following the old way of doing things in a reliable.
Thanks
