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

    Hi,
    For project defination internal number is assigned by system.
    When you saves's project then system allocate one number to project defination, you can view it,
    SE11 >>> table  PROJ >> Click on contents >>> execute,
    here you will get your project defination & number is assigned to project defination.

  • Custom Conversion Exit for a Custom InfoObject

    Has anyone created a custom conversion exit for an InfoObject?
    I have a requirement to mask the first five digits of the Social Security Number on output only. I created a custom conversion exit ZCONV, for example and added code to the output function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_OUTPUT to accomplish the masking. In the CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_INPUT, I just passed INPUT to OUTPUT.
    It works OK for masking the output results but any input variables return an "Invalid Format" error. So I am not able to have a selection screen variable where you enter the SSN number and run the query for it. It tries to convert it to the masked form and then run the query.
    Any pointers. Helpful answers will be promptly rewarded.
    Thanks
    Vineet

    Since the ultimate goal was not to display Social Security Numbers, I changed the custom Conversion exit to display SID values. In case anyone needs to do the same, The output function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_OUTPUT  is coded to read the SID value for the SSN number from the SID table of the InfoObject and the input function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_INPUT does the reverse by reading the SSN number for the SID.
    Dropdowns on variable values work OK by displaying the SID value and the employee name. The only drawback is that you cannot input a SSN number on the selection variable. You have to do the dropdown and select.
    Thanks

  • PS: Setting Project Profile as a mandatory field for Project Definition

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to set Project Profile as a mandatory field for Project Definition (CJ20N or CJ01).  I tried to look for controls at OPUK config but the Project Profile is not available for definition - either mandatory, optional, suppressed, etc.  Would appreciate if you can share your expertise on this.
    Thanks!

  • Conversion exit for BANKN

    Hi all ,
    We have created a conversion exit for BANKN (LFBK-BANKN) field to mask it ; This field is getting masked in most of hthe reports execpt few . When i checked the issue , CDPOS table doesnt contain this field against the change number (say of a particular vendor ) . Any idea , why the field is not present in this table and how to bring the same in it.
    Thanks
    Supriya murudkar

    Yes, You are right. The field is not in the CDPOS table but probably we don''t need that field .
    BANKN (LFBK-BANKN) field  has internally masked with the CDPOS-CHANGENR (Document change number). So whatever the data you required from the CDPOS, You can get by the BANKN (change number).
    plz chk.

  • Including customized fields in Field selection for Project definition

    Hi Experts,
    I have created additional zfields in Project definition,
    But those fields are not coming in customization node " Field selection for Project Definition".
    Is there any way , by which we can include those fields in the list of " Field selection for Project Definition"  in customization ,
    so that i can hide/disable for diff project Profile.
    Thanx in adv.
    Regards
    Ashis

    Hi,
    actually one can try to add customer fields to field configuration using transaction SFAW alike SAP own fields.
    It is usually possible to extend the list of the modifiable fields of the  field selection in transaction SFAW within the framework of a            
    modification (as long as the fields are relative to tables PRPS or  PROJ). The relevant module pool is SAPLCJWB.                             
    Example
    E.g. for the SAP field 'functional area' (field  PRPS-FUNC_AREA) one would proceed as follows:                                                                               
    In the transaction SFAW, Module pool SAPLCJWB, Screen group PRPS 
    -Select 'Modified fields', and choose 'Change'.                          
    -Enhance the list of the modifiable fields by the following entries :    
    PRPS-FUNC_AREA. Answer yes to the question : do you want the field to   
    be modifiable?.                                                         
    Don't forget to save and then click on the 'generate button' of the     
    transaction SFAW.                                                       
    - The relevant field for distribution profile would be PRPS-PGPRF.         
    In the same manner one can try to add the Z field.
    Please note: This procedure is considered as a modification, so please review note    
    114390 which discusses a problem which can occur during an upgrade.      
    Kind regards

  • System Status Change for Project Definition

    Hi,
    I am working on a requirement to notify the Project Manager when the Project Status changes to REL.
    I couldn't find any user exits where I can add the code to send an e-mail notification at the time of status change of the Project Definition or the WBS elements within the Project.
    I checked for events in Business Objects BUS2054(WBS) and BUS2001(ProjectDefinition) which might get triggered at the time of status change. I couldn't find any events relevant to Status Change.
    Any ideas how to handle this requirement ?

    Padmanaha

    Hi,
    Select the column in excel
    Right Click and choose format cells.
    In the pop up window, the first tab is for formatting. A list will be available, there you have to choose "Date" format.
    Within the date format, you will find number of options to set the formatting according to your specifications.
    If that does not work out, just use "Custom" format as "mmyyyy" for all the cells in that particular column.

  • Validation for Project definition

    Hi Gurus,
    We create project definitions with 12 char. Some time user misses out some characters hence I want to restric the same. I am trying to check the blank fields in the project definition using validation. I could succeed in stopping the user from proceeding in IDES through validation but when I applied the same logic in dev. client, it is checking but not stopping it from going ahead (I have given Error message only). The difference in the dev. client is that I have already created some validations for the PROJ-PSPID field. Is this disallowing the check or what should be the logic I should use to ensure all the 12 characters of the project definition fields are filled.
    thanks in advance
    Vinodh

    Hi Vinodh,
    Try this,
    Pre-requisite:
    PROJ-PSPID Not Equals Symbol ' '
    Check:
    PROJ-PSPID :1-12: Not Equals Symbol ' '
    This should help.
    Note: The place where i have written Not equals symbol, there you insert not equals symbol. Its not getting displayed here.
    Also, input validation name in OPSA in Project defn. field and Tick on Automatic Validation
