Leading zeros are not displayed, but are always saved internally.
Customer wants leading zeros that have been entered to be displayed.
The system should not generate any leading zeros internally.
When alphanumeric key terms (cost center, account, asset number) are involved, the default is conversion routine alpha. This means that the field is internally filled with leading zeros for numeric entries, but these leading zeros are always suppressed in the display.
This ensures a numerically increasing sort sequence.
However, if the customer uses a different number system in which a zero could appear in the first position (e.g. account category 0), or in which classifications are represented in the individual digits of numbers of different length, then this form of display is not suitable.
If you want to solve the problem, you should ask your SAP consultant. Disabling the conversion exit in the dictionary is a firstly a modification, and secondly is not sufficent.
For example, in case of a G/L account number, you have to take into account that a G/L account can simultaneously be a cost element, meaning that several domains have to be changed.
Futhermore, you have to consider that leading zeros have now to be entered in each position.
In some routines (for example, when interpreting entries in general selection fields), an alpha conversion is implemented in the source code which is dependent on the selection type.
In summary, SAP cannot recommend a modification in the standard system.
