Data records in an IDoc getting erased, when conversion rules are defined

Hello ,
We are sending IDocs of message type GLMAST & COELEM from a system(version 4.7) to another system (version 4.6B).
The segment data in the IDocs are changed using the user exit enhancement KKCD0001. The function exits used are EXIT_SAPFKCIM_001 and EXIT_SAPFKCIM_002.
If there is no conversion rule defined in the receiver system, for the segments, the IDocs are posted correctly in the receiving system. But if we define conversion rules , then the data records for all the segments for which conversion rule is defined are getting erased, and an error occurs during processing of IDocs
Please let me know what can be the the reason behind this issue..And how to solve this..
Thanks in advance,
Afsar

I am trying to Activate the Transfer Rules of 0HR_PA_PA_1 DataSource which has the BID (BW Development) as the Source System to itself in order to load 0PAPA_C02 (Headcount) InfoCube.
When trying to Activate, it gives the following error message:
Error in global conversion rule for InfoObject 0PERSLANGU
Message no. RSAR263
Diagnosis
Errors with the global conversion rule for the field 0PERSLANGU.
System Response

Check the definition of the global conversion rule for an InfoObject.
In fact, we are Re-implementing 3.0b BW System in new BI7.0 Ehp1 System. I have checked the Config of InfoObject 0PERSLANGU to the one available in existing BWP (3.0b Production) system and it's all the same.
Has anyone come across similar error message and how did you resolve. Any help is very much appreciated.
Many Thanks,

HI Chandu ,
It is a bug in the system , can you take a look at the SAP note

Error in global conversion rule for InfoObject 0INCOTERMS2

When I activate BI content 2LIS_12_VCITM with transfer rule, The transfer rule was error with the message " Error in global conversion rule for InfoObject 0INCOTERMS2" and Mgs No. 263.
The transfer rule cannot be activated.
I checked the 0INCOTERMS2 infoObject . The global conversion rule is no error.

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.

Conversion rule executed in sender and receiver system?

Hello experts,
I want to send an Idoc from one SAP system to another.
Both systems are in the same transport line.
In the sender system I want to execute a field conversion. There
Therefore I maintained BD62 (Define Conversion Rule), BD55 (activate Conversion Rule for Sender/Receiver combination) and BD79 (Specifie Conversion).
The mapping works perfectly.
The creation of the IDoc and the field conversion work perfectly.
But I get an error in the receiver system.
It seems that this system also tries to execute the fieldmapping, because it has the same BD55 (sender/receiver) settings.
The conversion rule itself does not exist in the receiver system, as these settings are not contained in a transport request.
What is the correct way? Can I customize BD55 not to generate a transport request and maintain this setting only in the relevant system?
Or do I need to maintain BD79 and BD62 also manually in the receiver system?
any hints
Barbara

Hi Barbara,
you have to maintain BD79 and BD62 manually in all receiver Systems.
Kind regards

Errors with the global conversion rule

Hi Guys,
When I activate the DSO,I get an error "Errors with the global conversion rule".I applied OSS note 1387854.But the problem still persists.I did not find any replies on SDN for this error,so posting it again.
If anyone knows how to proceed,please help! <REMOVED_BY_MODERATOR>
Thanks,
Sri
Edited by: Pravender on Dec 9, 2010 4:51 PM

the error might show due to which infoobject this error is happening.
that particular infoobject might conatin a transfer routine. Open the transfer routine in the infoobject, do a dummy change, save the routine and activate the infoobject, then try activating the DSO.
this might do the trick . Hope this helps.

Using conversion rule to convert quantity fields

Hi!
I am trying to find a way to use a conversion rule to convert a quantity specified in one unit of measure to the corresponding quantity specified in a different unit of measure. I was trying to use 'Copy sender field' along with a custom 'Special conversion rule'. However, the code to convert quantities requires both the quantity and material number to do the UoM conversion. 'Copy sender field' only allows the transfer of one sender field. Is there a way to transfer two sender field into a 'Special conversion rule'. Any help much appreciated and rewarded. Thanks, Duncan

Hi Duncan,
Try FM UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE.

IDOC inbound conversion Rules

Hi to all,
I'm Implementing an Inbound Interface for Cost Centers using idoc message COSMAS and IDOC type COSMAS01.
I want to modify IDOC data changing the cost center code by another one stored locally in a param table (Z*).
I think the best way to do this is by creating a conversion rule in BD72 than maintain and assign to Message type. The problem is that i have to select data from the Z* Table i need two parameters from the IDOC(LogicalSystem and cost center). How can I create a custom conversion routine or something to get this data from the Z table into the IDOC field (KOSTL).
The conversion exits only have one import parameter and one export parameter.
Do anyone had one problem like this?
Thanks in advance to all.

Hi,
Please check the documentation in WE60 tcode and see if the fields are required to be passed...

Can we write code using BD79(ALE IDoc Conversion Rule)

Hi -
I had created a conversion rule that specifies for the field account group (KTOKD) on KNA1: I need to include the following logic :
if the customer number (KNA1-KUNNR) is in the range 0010000000-0019999999 or 0140000000 to 0149999999, then change the account group value to u201CSKIPu201D.
So I had created a conversion rule using BD62.
In BD79, I had set the constant to SKIP.
But where to include the following logic :
if the customer number (KNA1-KUNNR) is in the range 0010000000-0019999999 or 0140000000 to 0149999999, then change the account group value to u201CSKIPu201D.

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.

How to implement a conversion rule in KC7R (External Data transfer-Tool)

Hi,
I am familiar with programming conversion rules in ABAP in the LSMW and IS-U Migration workbench.
Unfortunately we have to work with EDT (transaction KCLJ).
I need to implement a simple conversion rule: migration file has the external BP number BPEXT and I must retrieve the internalone (PARTNER) for the migration program.
So I must implement a short ABAP code (select single * from BUT000 ...).
Now I see that in KC7R you can use constants and conversion rules. There are also "General Ruels" and "conversion routines".
Can someone explain how to implement this simple ABAP conversion rule in KC7R giving a short example?
This would be great.
EDT is the workst of all SAP Standard Migration Tools I have seen.....
Kind regards,
Thomas

Thomas,
Coud you please share your findings as I am now in a similar to your original post.
ie I too would like to know how to code convesions for use within the transfer rules used by KCLJ.
Kind Regards,
Hiten Mistry.

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 , No conversion , No version change .
If I try the SAME Idoc with WE19 using the standard inbound, it works:
Status 64
No filters , Fields converted , No version change.
Any idea? I guess it's a bug.
Thank you.
Stefano

IDOC reprocessing with new conversion rules

Hi All,
we've created IDOCs and after the creation the conversion rules are changed. Now we want to reprocess the IDOC's and in the reprocessing we want to use the new conversion rules.
I've tried just reprocessing, I also tried WE19, but with these 2 the conversion rules seem to left untouched.
Has anyone a solution were I can reprocess making use of the new rules?
kind regards,
Pieter

Hi,
I've debugged the reprocessing of the idoc and it seems indeed I had to change the status, however not all statusses result in reprocessing of the rules. Status '29' Error in ALE Service works. So my problem is solved.
Thank you.
kind regards,
Pieter
