Creation of Material with 10 digit EAN (R/3)

[frederico_parreira]

Hello fellows,

I want to create a Material with a 10-digit EAN while keeping the check-digit algorithm (=1). For that purpose I created a new EAN Category with the following data:

- External Interval - 1000000 to 999999999

- Check-digit algorithm = 1.

When I insert the 10-digit EAN and choose the new EAN category it shows the following error: "WE218 : The EAN has an incorrect check digit".

Why does this happen? I've read the other threads and from that what I understood is that I should maintain an external number interval for a 9 digit interval, if I wish to insert a 10 digit EAN.

Can you please advise me? Thanks.

Did you define the EAN length? It should be 10. Stupid question - is you check digit correct? Do you have leading 0s?

Hello Michelle,

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my delay.

Yes, I've defined it as 10 in a test after this one, also didn't work. Check-digit is correct. I've also tried to create a new number range (by dividing a number range in two) as suggested in some threads, but also didn't work (therefore reverted to the previous ranges). Yes, I do have leading zeros.

Regards,

Fred

OK - I did a quick check in the SAP support portal. There seems to be a lot of notes about this.This one gives an idea of how to check your config.
