Cause

The leading zero is proposed from the customizing in the SSCUI 102782 'Define Attributes of EANs/UPCs'.

Resolution

It is suggested to check if the EAN length for related EAN category has been filled.

If, without leading zeros, the EAN contains fewer figures than the number of figures specified here, it is padded with leading zeros up to the number of figures specified.

The EAN is otherwise left unchanged. It is suggested to specify any required length up to the maximum length for the EAN. Although the EAN is always stored in the database without leading zeros, it is displayed at all points in the system according to the setting that have made here.
