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

SAP allows material description of 40 charactors. If you want some meaningful information or vendors material number associated with SAP <18 digit code, put that in material description. Requirement of alphanumeric can be easily handled in existing SAP customizing. As mentioned by Alex, you need not store a trillion material codes in system.
Mat no. is just for distinction between one another and description is a meaningful thing in actual.
