The standard SAP ERP material number field uses the domain MATNR
, which has an input, output, and database length of 18 characters.
The long material number (MATNR_LONG
or MATNR_EXT
) is a normal 18-character material number plus 22 additional characters. This enables customers for whom 18 characters are not sufficient to use 40-character material numbers.
