Documentation
Definition
You use a template to define a material number format.
Use
You can insert additional characters into the material number format. You define these characters in the template together with your selection characters.
An underscore (_) stands for a selection character and is replaced in each case with a character from the material number. The other characters are inserted at the appropriate positions as in the template.
The system reads numeric material numbers from right to left and other numbers from left to right.
The length of the template must not exceed the length of the material number.
Procedure
Examples
Example of how to save field contents in table TMCNV:
You have defined, for example, the following data in transaction OMSL:
Length of the material number 12
Template for the material number __/___-__/__
The system determines the following field contents on the basis of this data and transfers them to table TMCNV:
LMATNR Length of material number: 12
LMASKE Length of template for conversion: 12
ATRENN Number of different editing characters: 2 (= /-)
ATRENNX Number of occurrences of all editing characters: 3 (= /-/)
LNGEFF Number of significant characters: 9 (= 12 - 3)
MASKE Template: __/___-__/__
TZ List of all occurrences of editing characters: /-/
