Hello together,
OSS 10714 describes, that it is not possible to create or to use accounts with leading zeroes and in standard SAP it will never be possible. But if you need to have it, SAP can make it possible.
In my case it has to be done. It's a mustn or rather we are discussing about it. There are voices who are adamant that it works and other who say no. How ever if it has to be - then SAP will have to do the modification.
So can somebody tell me how many man days approximately it will cost to let SAP do this modification?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I got several clients who also demanded this functionality, but due to the potential problems it might cause, we managed to change their minds regarding this issue. I'd suggest the same to you... SAP won't do the modification, it's your ABAP team who will have to do it making necessary changes in all domains that could be affected by this change.
Regards,
Eli

Hi,
well I don't know and "my" senior surely doesn't know too where in the hole SAP FI System changes has to be made.
The corporate controlling seemingly has "installed" this functionality, so we as a subsidiary company have to do as well.
Another solution would be a mapping but this is undesired.
Just to know which costs or which efforts are behind this demand would help to finish this discussion.
Any other opinions, experiences?
Hi,
We made once an analysis and estimated the work up to 50 working hours of ABAP (who is an expert in FI tables) and FI-CO consultant + maintenance/analysis for every new release. Just to make sure; the G/L will be stored with leading zeros in standard system. They will not be displayed only. Is your requirement to display them with leading zeros?

Hi,
the requirement is to be able to create them with leading zeroes, to display them with the exact number of leading zeros and of course to print them with the exact number of leading zeroes.
I just spoke again with our controlling and it showed me again the problem.
We dont have accounts with leading zero, but the destination accounts (also a SAP System) have leading zeroes.
At the moment they have to work with 2 charts of accounts daily and this is a great handicap for them. The goal is just to work with the same chart of account as the destination system.
Thanks for your estimation - thats something I can and did communicate - but I have to do a SAP call to get an "offer".
Regards
Heiko
The answers were helpful to argue, but decision was made. It has to be done.
