How to connect the keys of two tables, which have a continuos difference?

Hello,

I have a KEY that I want to use connecting two tables with:

Table 1  Table2 
Shelf No.Material AreaError Report No.Description
7894fsfdafsdfsdSector211111111(9910)7894
6666sdfdsfsSector3322222222(9910)6666
1234dfsdsfsfsSector133333333(9910)1234
7845sdfdsfddSector654444444(9910)7845

As you can see I have a Table 1 with Shelf ID and the Location of the shelf. Table2 is an error report. In column "description" we told workers to scan the QR- Code of the specifi shelf, where trouble  occurred. Unfortunately the barcode-scanner also always scans the prefix (9910) of the QR-Code as well.  So even though incident report of (9910)7845 of table2 is referring to 7845 of table1, I don't get the 2 keys linked with each other. 

Now I have problem connecting these two tables with that key. Is there a kind of workaround or "ignoring" the (9910) prefix? Note, that Table2 is a SAP derived table which contains alls sorts of errors reports inside the company and not only shelf related reports. For instance in the "description" field could also be a plain text like "Line34 Malfunction". 

Hope someone has a solution for me.

Stay safe!

Thanks in advance.
