Convert material number

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any SAP pre-defined function module to convert material number,

example: from 000000000000000085 to 85

example: from 000000000000000087 to 87

?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT of the function group OMCV.

Pass the material number in 00000085 format to the exporting parameter INPUT, and receive the output in format 85 in the Importing parameter OUTPUT.

DATA: f_matnr type matnr value '0000085'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

input = f_matnr

IMPORTING

output = f_matnr.

Best Regards,

Suresh

if you want SAP to store them as 85 instead of 000000000000085, you can set it in cutomizing under

lexographic settings.

where you can do a setting which will not add leading zero's while creating material itself.
