Reply from arbis82 on Dec 10 at 1:47 AM I agree with what John Louk has pointed out here. Alphanumeric values for MATNR should not be appended with leading zeros.
As this can be achieved technically with a little bit of coding, why hasn't SAP done the same in their conversion exit as well?
Pavan, just a thought. If you want to add leading zeroes to non-numeric MATNR values for the sake of comparison (IF/ELSE, CASE, etc..) why not try removing leading zeroes from the other 'MATNR' value. Also, it would be easier for us to provide a more accurate solution if you could explain the context of this problem you are facing (pseudo code, requirement, etc..).
I found this thread from earlier this year. Similar issue, and there was a good discussion on the same:
