Payment medium - Text fields shifted to the left

Question

Hello Experts,
after running the payment run, the payment media is created but the text fields that are written in the files are shifted to the left.
The files contains 4 text fields. In the first text field should be written the value LS_REF1 and in the second one the value LS_REF3
If LSREF1 is blanc, then the value of LS_REF3 is written in the first text field.
Is it possible to avoid that SAP shift the fields to the left? In the function module FKK_PAYM_DEDIUM_WRITE is used the FM FKK_DME_DETAILS_FILL, which shift the values.
Cheers and thanks in advance

Answer 1

In the respective field properties (double click the field node), goto Attributes tab.  There you'll find a field 'Conv. function'.  Press F4. You'll be presented with many functions.  Scroll down and find functions starting with C.  Select the one that best suits your needs.  This is for maintaining the alignment within the field output.
If your problem is that REF1 field is skipped when there are no values and that's what is causing the alignment as REF3 is shifted to that extent, then you need REF1 field to output at any cost irrespective of any values are present. In this case, check the status filed in the same tab.  The status field should be blank (standard).
You can also consider Target offset field.  This will offset as many number of characters in the output field.  You might have to play with these settings.
Hope this helps.
Ravi.
