Serial numbers missing leading zero's

[Former Member]

Hi,

My client has a requirement to create Serial Numbers with leading zeros's - an example being 0021123 but when SAP creates the Serial Number the leading zero's are removed hence 21123 is created.

Would BAPI MB_MIGO_ITEM_BADI. for MIGO transaction provide this facility?

Serial numbers with leading zeros are not supported within SAP standard.

Only in industry solution DIMP (ADEC), this functionality could be achieved by applying the modification note 198285.

You might have to implement enhancement in the following function modules

CONVERSION_EXIT_GERNR_INPUT (this one pads the leading zeros to the SERNR field if the data is numeric to fill all the 18 characters)

CONVERSION_EXIT_GERNR_OUTPUT (this one hides the padded leading zeros while displaying)
