Summary :
After implementing the DIMP Add-On in an SAP R/3 system, changes in the display of material numbers, now extended from 18 to 40 characters, may be observed across transactions. This SAP Note aims to clarify these changes specifically between the standard R/3 system and the DIMP system. Key areas covered include variations in on-screen visuals, customer reports, and handling of internal vs. external material numbers. Enhanced system capabilities allow for more detailed tracking and identification using manufacturer part numbers (MPN) and material versions. Customizing settings are essential for configuring how material numbers are displayed and processed, impacting various application areas such as BAPI structures, IDoc segments, and material lists in reporting. Adjustments may be required for existing custom reports and programs to support extended material number formats.
