Issue with Material External ID while replicate to C4C.

Hi Experts Need Help.

Our Integration scenario: ECC-HCI-C4C.

Issue: We are unable to replicate materials as desired, replicationsbefore November/1511 show external ID with leading zeros.

           Any materials replicated now strip off the zeros before the material ID and store it, which is causing issues.

           Any material change is also not coming in and gives Material ID &INTERNAL_ID& already exists error.

We have the mapping in HCI to send Receiver ID/External ID to send with preceeding zeros to make it 18 Character just as in ECC.

C4C receives the external id as desired but while storing in C4C the zeros are removed.

Please help me to resolve this issue,

External ID/Receiver ID = 000000000000006513

But stores it as without zero's.
