3518272 - Leading zeros are not saved for EAN code in Material Master

Symptom

Leading zeros are not saved for EAN code in Material Master

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Change Material App
  2. Enter the material number
  3. Select Basic data view and go to Additional data
  4. Go to Units of Measure tab
  5. Try to add prefix 0 in the EAN code 
  6. Save

Resolution

Leading zeros are not saved in the SAP system because they are not required according to the EAN standard.

For example, the EAN 123 is the same as the EAN 00123, so the leading zeros are omitted.
