3678716 - incorrect processing of alphanumeric order numbers in BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN

Symptom

  • The BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN incorrectly processes alphanumeric order numbers by forcing a 12-character length.
  • Subsequent characters are incorrectly appended to the order number, resulting in errors such as "Order 00000-00000 does not exist".
  • The issue occurs when the system reads 12 characters and appends a trailing zero, forming an invalid order number (e.g., 00000-00000 becomes 00000-000000).
