S/4HANA ; Sourcing and Procurement ---Material Number Field Length Extension

We already know there is a change in Material Length from Simplification List of Sourcing and Procurement.

Let us understand, Business scenario where this Material Length is required to extend and what are the implications.

In automotive industry, In Retail and Heavy Equipment and High-Tech Industry, it is common to have a material with more than 18 Characters

Also some IS- solution, MII has 40 characters length of Materials. When we use ECC to interface such system, we were converting the length of ECC material to suit 40 Chars length of Target system in Interface.

But when we convert our ECC system to S4HANA, some "IS_ Specific Modules and any other modules where the length is 40 till now are part of S4HANA. If we extend the length in S/4HANA system it is not required to do any adjustments or enhancements further.

Data base Representation of material number is MATNR;

ECC it shows 18 Chars S/4HANA 40
