The difference in code logic between SD and MM prevents matching.

• The AR line journal entry is created in SD-BIL, and the system-generated invoice field 'reference' includes leading zeros.
• The AP line journal entry is automatically generated in MM, and the document reference ID lacks leading zeros.

• If you expect consistency in the leading zeros of the SAP standard document reference, it is suggested to vote for the request in the Customer Influence Portal. 
  Customer Influence - ICMR cannot match Reference Ids on AP and AR documents due to one missing leading zeroes
• As a workaround, modify the function in the “Define Matching Methods” app to fulfill the requirement.
