Documentation
The offset defines the number of places (from left to right) which are removed from the field values when creating the organizational key.
Use
Procedure
Examples
According to the ABAP Dictionary, the field for cost centers has ten places. Unnecessary places are filled with leading zeros. Your enterprise uses numeric cost centers between 1 and 99999 (five places maximum).
To optimally use the 14 places for creating the organizational key, you can suppress the leading zeros by entering 05 as the length and 05 as the offset.
