ALE : conversion rule for field value to become null

Dear experts,
I need to pass a material from one system to another with ALE. The problem is that the field marc-prctr (profit center) of this material is populated in the first system, but it does not exist in the second, so I assume transaction bd79 should be used to convert somehow the value of prctr to initial.
How can I do that??? I have already tried defining a conversion rule and assigning it to message type MATMAS, segment E1MARCM, but it did not work.
Please help.

    Domain of PACKNR has a converion routine.
    Double click in table on dataelement of PACKNR and next double click on domain of this dataelement.
    Now you see exit routine, double click on this and you will get two routines:

  • ALE conversion rules

    Hi All,
    We are downloading HR master data into CRM through ALE.
    I have a requirement where in the telephone numbers for employees should not come into CRM from HR.
    I am trying to do this with the help of conversion rules where I am specifying that the particular field in the segment be overwritten by a constant. However, I cannot have a blank value as a constant, hence am having to put some character like a '.'
    Can anyone please let me know if there is an option by which any particular field can be just blanked out?
    Regards,
    -Sweta

    Hi;
    n the ALE implementation guide (IMG) choose:
    Transaction SALE ® IDoc Interface/Application Link Enabling (ALE) ® Model and Implement Business Processes ® Set-Up Conversion between Sender and Recipient
    Proceed as follows:
           1.      Create rule: The rules are defined per segment.
           2.      Maintain rule: Rule maintenance specifies conversion rules at field level.
           3.      Assign rule to a message type: The assignment specifies when the rule is to be applied. This is sender/recipient and message type specific.

  • Query about ALE conversion rule

    Hi,
       I am trying to copy an ALE conversion rule from one system to another.
       In the rule, for one of the variables, the option 'Set Variable' is selected and a variable '&PRTMVxxxx' (Name changed)
       is set under 'Rule Type'.
       I was not aware of how this variable gets filled or what additional setting is required.
       Could someone help me out with this option under the conversion rules?
    Regards,
    Sudeep

    Hi Gaurav,
    I have exactly the same problem that you had back in late 2006, with the Conversion Rules somehow not passing the data to the IDOC segment.
    The IDOC segment is cleared of all values with the Conversion Rule active.
    I have managed to determine that the exit is working properly, at least to the point where it is finished in EXIT_SAPFKCIM_001, and SENDER_SET_NEW is filled correctly.
    Did you manage to figure out what was wrong?
    Does anyone else know how to get this working?
    Thanks,
    Bruno

  • Error in global conversion rule for InfoObject 0PERSLANGU when activating

    If you have any idea or face the similar problem, please suggest solution.
    Thank you.

    Good afternoon,
    If you have not done so already can you apply the SAP note  1387854 in your system and it should prevent the problem from happening again. If you also reactivate the infoobject  0INCOTERMS2 in RSD1 then it should be possible to manually activate the  transfer rule.

  • ALE Conversion rules not processed

    Hi all,
    I defined some conversion rules for an inbound IDoc with trascation BD79 in my backend system.
    If I send an IDoc from XI to the backend system the rules are ignored:
    Status 64
    No filters , <b>No conversion</b> , No version change .
    If I try the <u>SAME</u> Idoc with WE19 using the standard inbound, it works:
    Status 64
    No filters , <b>Fields converted</b> , No version change.
    Any idea? I guess it's a bug.
    Thank you.

  • ALE Conversion Rules:  Make recv'r dependant on different sender segment?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am putting in a conversion rule for MBEW-LIFO.  I need this field to be checked on the receiving end ONLY for certain Material Types.
    I know I can create a conversion rule to place in 'X' in MBEW-LIFO, but can I make that dependant upon Material Type, which is not in the E1MBEWM segment? I believe material type is in E1MARCM....
    thanks!

    Hi Mohan,
    seems this message is common when activating BI_CONT.
    I believe what i did was:
    - go to the InfoObject
    - verified Object Routine (check) (then was ok).
    - Removed Object form DS
    - Activated DS  (w/o info object was giving problems)
    - Placed InfoObject back to the DS
    - Activated DS but now including Info Object
    Believe that worked for me.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Error in global conversion rule for 0DOC_CATEG

    Hi Friends,
    My transfer rules are inactive for 2LIS_11_VAITM. When i tried to get activate i am getting the below error message...
    Error in global conversion rule for 0DOC_CATEG
    How i can activate the transfer rules.
    is there any global routine for this infoobject.
    Please suggest a solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anand

    Hi Reddy,
    Goto Change mode of the info object 0DOC_CATEG. Just edit the description of 0DOC_CATEG by adding a "." and activate it.
    Again change the description by removing the "." and activate the info object.
    After doing this, activate the transfer rules. It'll work fine.

  • Jakarta Beanutils - Conversion rules for null

    Hi all,
    I am using the BeanUtils.copyProperties(target, source) method to copy my Struts ActionForm String-only fields into my Business JavaBean's typed fields (String, Boolean and Integer fields).
    The thing I am having trouble understanding is if there is no request variable sent for a particular value, this value is null in the Struts action form - but the copyProperties method uses this null String to populate an Integer field on my business bean as new Integer(0) - and not simply populating this value with null.
    This doesn't seem intuitive to me - if the HTML form had no value for a certain field, I expect both ActionForm and Business bean to also have a null value - the the form have the value "0", then I would expect this to get mapped through to new Integer(0) in the back end.
    Is there any documentation that explain the default BeanUtils conversion rules, or ways or adjusting these rules programatically ?
    I have browsed the jakarta site for a while, but not seem anything of immediate use, and google isn't helping at all !
    Many thanks for you help,
    Ben

    It certainly seems that all null Strings get mapped to the "default primitive value" for the wrapper class - 0 for Integer, false for Boolean etc...
    I think the problem here is I was looking for the copyProperties method to be a bijection (1 to 1 mapping) between String and Integer, e.g."1" maps to new Integer(1), and Integer(1) maps to "1"
    "0" maps to new Integer(0), and Integer(0) maps to "0"
    null String maps to null Integer, and null Integer maps to null StringBut it seems null String maps to new Integer(0), and new Integer(0) maps back to "0" - which is not my original value.
    Anyone know how to force this behvaiour or explain why the library doesn't follow what is, AFAICT, a more logical conversion scheme ?

  • Steps to create substitution rule for field BSEG-RECID

    MIRO generates FI document. FI document has BSEG-RECID field. I need to apply substitution for BSEG-RECID depending on the value of the RSEG-GEBER field in MIRO. The substitution must be activated only if account to be booked is PL account in FI and derived MM document based on ZNPP PO type.
    Field values are as follows:
    RSEG-GEBER     BSEG-RECID
    No value                          No value
    N                              N
    D                              D
    A                              A
    Could anyone please let me know the steps to create the above substitution rule for the FI document
    Thank You

    Hi,
    You can do it as below:
    Prerequisite : Select the document type for which you want check, here you have to select the BKPF-BLART = " " (Give the document type for the MIRO)
    Substitution: Use the User exit with the logic as you said.
    If you want you can use the user exit in both PREREQ & SUBSTITUTION. It will be applicable in your case
