Conversion exit refbt

Hi all,
I'm using the datasource 0co_om_wbs_7. I need the field REFBT in this datasource. However there is a conversion exit on this field (also named REFBT) and SAP doesn't document anywhere what this conversion exit does.
Does anybody have any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Guus
(point will be assigned for useful answers)

Hi,
From following table entries , The Exit basically gets "PREQ" as input and convert it to 010 while storing in to database. While displaying in the report it reads 010 from the records and display "PREQ" in the report output .
You may refer to table TRFBT    for further input .
SPRAS REFBT REFBT_EX TXT20
E     010   PReq     Purchase Requisition
E     020   POrd     Purchase Order
E     030   MatR     Material Reservation
E     100   EFnd     Earmarked Funds
E     110   FRes     Funds Reservation

Hope that helps.

Conversion exit for project definition

Hi
I have created a generic extractor to get some data of table PRPS. The project-definition number in this table is in field PSPHI. When you display the result of the extractor in the extractor checker (RSA3) the correct number (e.g. PG5707) is showing, however, when it comes into BW, it is showing the internal number (e.g. 000002). In BW I use this field to populate 0PROJECT, but due to the internal number being sent, I cant use it.
Can anyone please tell me what conversion exit I can call in my extractor to get the external number?
I also notice in SE16 for this table there is a selection in the user parameters to tick under the "Format" section in the data browser tab. If it is not selected, it shows the internal number, but if selected, the external number is displayed. I want to do this in my extractor.
Thanks
Karin

What is an exit ?

Hello Experts,
I have a basic question.
What is an Exit in SAP ? Does the word refer to its literal meaning here too?
If so, where do we exit from and what do we enter in ?
Please educate me and I promise points

Hi Raj,
SAP provides you a place to include your custom code to enhance/modify the standard functionality, it is called exit.

What kind of mathematical optimization problems exits in SAP? (NP problems)

What kind of mathematical optimization problems exits in SAP?
I don't use SAP and don't have any experience with SAP but I would be interested what complex optimization problems, preferably "NP problems", exits or where a fast solution (semi-solution) to such problems would be beneficial.

I think that no exists standard routines about NP problems in SAP.
OK. But this is not what I asked for.
What kind of mathematical optimization problems exits in SAP? (NP problems)
Hence, if you have such an algorithm, where can it be applied in SAP? Where is it useful?
I would especially be interested in problems where the space is so big that can not be completely tested.

Conversion exit missing in BI - Best practice to install missing exits

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0 SP10.
While doing mappings, I found two conversion Exits MATN2 & SCOPE missing from the BI box. Hence SAP was throwing error while trying to activate the 7.0 datasource.
On more analysis, I found that the function groups are altogether missing.
What is the best practice to install these missing objects (Func Groups, Func Mods) in the system.
Our ABAP person suggested to create these objects as "Repair objects" in the system. Is that the right procedure?
Please advise.
Thanks
Vishno

No Conversion exit entered

Hi,
I am new to SAP BW ,while creating a Datasource i am experiencing this error as "No Conversion exit entered" .Please help me on this .
Thanks & Regards
Sameer Khan

Hi Vibhuti,
How you created customer name and address, I mean to say data element? You can not have data with space except for short, medium and long text.
Check if you are excluding first row as header in info package, if you have header in Flat file. Check if Lower case is ticked in Customer name and customer address.

How to find out the customer exit and sap exit variables created provider?

Hi all,
How to identify what are all the customer exit and sap exit variables are been created for an info provider. is there any tables which allow us to find out.
thanxs
haritha

Hello haritha,
SAP Exit and Customer Exit variables are created for Characteristics and not for individual InfoProviders.
So whenever the characteristic is used in the InfoProvider, by selection the appropriate variable the exit can be called.
So the same Exit can be in one or more InfoProviders.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Chandran

Conversion exits before value mapping in AIF

Hi All
I'm trying to use conversion exits before mapping in define value mapping, where I want to truncate leading zeroes in the source field before the value mapping is executed.
I'm using the conversion exit 'ALPHA' (internal->external) to achieve this, but the leading zeroes do not get truncated. Below is an example-
Conversion Exit: ALPHA
Data Element for conversion:
Direction: Internal->External
Source Value: 0000012345
Expected Value after conversion: 12345
Actual Value after conversion: 0000012345
A similar issue Error in reading a value from database table is noted here, however note 1892571 that is suggested does not seem to resolve the issue I'm facing.
Am I missing something here?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Glenn Bumanlag,
I think the values that you have given for source values (Agency and scheme)
and Target values (Agency and scheme) may be mismatching so kindly chek that...even i got the same error in the past..........
If you the this problem kindly change it accordingly and also refresh the cache once you that with this.........
Kindly follow the below mentioned link and check if you have followed these steps.

Is there any way to know that the program is in value-request? Maybe a system field? Can I catch this error?
Thanks for help.
Lars

Hello Lars,
refering to OSS 84510 SAP does not allow error messages in this environment. However, to find out if you are in a F4- context you can use the kernel function 'DY_GET_DYNPRO_EVENT'
data: event(3).
"check if we are in F4 environment
call 'DY_GET_DYNPRO_EVENT' id 'EVENT' field event.
if sy-subrc <> 0 or ( event <> 'PAI'
                    and event <> 'INP' )."PAI also POV
    " not F4 help
    message e000 raising input_not_valid.
else.
    "F4 help -> only S message
    message s000 display like 'E' raising input_not_valid.
endif.
Kind regards, miro

What are Conversions and Extensions

Hey ,
I want to know what are Conversions and Extensions. Can i get any material where i can get information on these.
Thanks in advance

The conversion programs were used to take the extract data from the legacy system and re-format for SAP and load the data into SAP.
Conversions are one-time programs used to transfer data from the legacy system into SAP. For example, you can transfer master data like vendors, customers etc.
SAP provides enhancement to BAPIs thru EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT .these are structure parameters.suppose example: one BAPI released to update the mara table.then u modified the table mara thru append structure.this changes will not be reflected in BAPIs.So thats why in that case we have to use EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT structures to fill and work.

What is user exit in MM?

is there any difference between user exit and enhancement? does a end user raise a ticket for user exit? please help
Edited by: sherlyn chopra on Oct 1, 2008 4:36 PM

What is and how user exits can be used?
What is the transaction code to see all available user exits?
Method of using this?
User exit jus nothing but just a code ....which is not provided the standard sap system..but function could be added later into the code ..this is done by abap people...
User exit is a place where we can write our own logic inside SAP programs. Instead of modification of SAP code, we can place our custom logic in User Exit.
There are three types of User exits:
1. Function Exits
2. Menu Exits
3. User Exits
Finding User Exits:
1. Take VA03 as example. Go to System status; select the program (double click); Find by the key word u2018Call Customer-functionu2019; Double click on the u2018Call Functionu2019 to go to the code; Double click on the customer function no.
It will take to the function exit in which SAP provides a Include program, where we can write down our own logic.
2. Run transaction SE84 and click on u2018Enhancementu2019 on left screen. Then click on u2018Customer Exitsu2019. Then double click on u2018Enhancementsu2019.
3. In transaction CMOD, type the name of your project and press the CREATE pushbutton; Once you SAVE your project, you can add as many enhancements as you want by pressing the SAP enhancements pushbutton; Add the enhancements
you want to add to the Project.
4. There are some exit provided by SAP in the program as subroutines. For example, go to transaction VA02; Double click on the program. It will take to the program; Some includes are provided by SAP as user exit. Double click on the include name, then it will take inside the include. Double click on MV45AFZZ (Program)include; Here we have different forms which acts as user exits. In these forms we can include our custom logic
5. Open the program through SE80 transaction; Click on the u2018Screenu2019 and all the available screens will be displayed. Then search if any Exit screen is available. Normally short text of the screen gives an idea whether Exit screen or not.
6. Finding BADIs : Double click on the u2018Programu2019; Search by string u2018cl_exithandler=>get_instanceu2019
;Search result is displayed. Double click on any one in the list.
