CrossMgr strips leading zeros to be compatible with Excel behavior, which also strips leading zeros from numeric input. As many people flow numeric tags in and out of Excel, and humans often skip leading zeros when repeating numbers, this led to many bugs as a result of integration issues. Best practice is not to use tags with leading zeros.

I am using a custom reader and submitting raw epcs in hex format as my tags. Tags with a leading 0 in the linked excel sheet don't load into CrossMgr with the leading zero
Have tried
0xxxxxxx '0xxxxxxx Formatted as text in excel
Same result for all
Submitting tags via webreader does accept/process as a leading zero as expected
Any tips to resolve?

Thanks for the confirmation. Not my tags unfortunately! I will modify my custom reader to strip leading zeros also instead 👍
Recognized that this is a pain, but sooo many times all-digit hex tags when in-and-out of Excel and had the leading zeros deleted. Check that you don't have insanity where the number of leading zeros is significant (eg. 000ABC, 00ABC).

Tags in the unmatched excel match exactly those in the linked spreadsheet
