Material number has to be 30 Digit. So how to get this is
SAP? The present 18 Digit is NOT at all sufficient for the
business? It has to be Alpha Numeric or sometimes only
numbers. It must be external numbering system only & not
the SAP generated internal number range because material
number or name is given by Vendors.

Ex: ABC1234, 89900-0098-8987, Y778-009,
77777766665444433322211-A, etc

The answer on top is correct, but also think about usability. You have 30 digits, that means over a trillion variable materials... do you have a trillion materials? Wouldn't it be simpler to talk with all parties and make an easier standard for new recruits to understand?
