SAP Note 785680 - Information: Leading zeros in shipment document number (VFKP

Component : Invoice Verification, ERS -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/785680 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Using Transaction VI01 for shipment cost creation impacts accounting processes due to inconsistencies in the 'Ext. Ident. 1' (VFKP-EXTI1) field. This ten-digit number, with optional leading zeros, governs automatic clearing (via button F13) in invoice verification and differentiates shipment numbers in accounting documents GR (with zeros) and RV (without zeros). Key remedies include configuring Customizing Transaction VN07 for zeroless number ranges and implementing V54C0001 SAP enhancement with EXIT_SAPLV54C_001 for deleting leading zeros in VFKP-EXTI1. SAP has no plans for a standard correction or future changes in this behavior.
