hi,

If you wanted it to be used in any of ztables then create a zdatatype with 13 character length and make use of it .... But modifying it for standard tables is not suggestible ..

The field KNA1-KUNNR has length 10 only which is SAP provided. in this case you should create your own field with 13 digits.

Hi,

this is an enhancement issue as we cant increase the legthn of a field.

For the table KNA1-> there is a Append structure in that declare the Customer number field and Data element with CHAR 13 then try to save this. but this is considered as a 'Z' field in that table.

Try for the exit/BADI for the customer table entires.

Thanks & Regards,

Whole system You want to increase the width.

If you want to do that , you have to modify the Dataelement /Domain level. But you need to have Access key.

and Check the Sideeffects when you do this change.

Why he want it to be 13 char.

if it is for Custom you are free to use and create you own transaction.

Thank you vijay.

clear requirement is,

There are already more than 5 thousand customers in system.

henceforth all new customer number width should be 13 digit,

and 13 gigits should reflect in all transactions & standar report.

Thanks & regards

5000? a ten digit number can hold 10 billion combinations...not even counting external numbering with letters A through Z...

Better advise your client he should risk wrecking his installation and leave the field length as is.
