Data Conversion - BP and Item

Dear all,
Would like to ask for the advice of Data conversion of BP code and Item Code.
Any guideline ?
i know it is not suggested to do so, but i really need to change the bp code and item code.
Thank you very much

Hi Tac,
once journal entries are linked to any master data, the code cannot be changed anymore. If you are just implementing & have a very low number of transactions, you might consider creating a new database using copy express & then just import your amended codes & start working with tha new db.
Alternatively, you could group all the 'old' codes in an appropriately named BP/item group (e.g. DoNotUse_BP) & mark them as 'on hold'. Then create new master data with the correct codes use opening balances. The master data could carry a header udf where the old & new codes are referenced.
If you do this, be careful if you use FIFO items, you might want to import the already posted transactions using the now item codes to recreate the layers, instead of starting with 1 opening layer.
All the best,
Kerstin

Sender FILE Adapater Content Conversion: Header and Item Data

Hi
I need to pick a file and do the content conversion. The XML structure which should be formed should be in the below format. I have a CSV file which needs to be converted.
Kindly suggest how can I maintain parameters for Header and Item level data in Recordset structure.
How can I specify in Recordset parameter which is Header(Customerno, Doc type and Address) and Item level(Line Item) data.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<customernumber></customernumber>
<documenttype></documenttype>
- <Address>
        <name1></name1>
        <name2></name2>
</Address>
- <LineItem>
        <material>100016</material>
        <amount>1000</amount>
</LineItem>

Hi Swetank,
The file after conversion should have one Header and you can have any number of line items.
Once you choose File Content Conversion in the message protocol header while configuring the Sender File Adapter, you get the following enteries in the Content Conversion Parameters:
Document Name
Document Namespace
Document Offset
Recordset Name
Recordset Namespace
Recordset Structure
Recordsets per Message
Key Field Name
To maintain the Header information, Some entries are mandatory, i.e.
Recordset Name: Here please specify the name of the structure. It is included in the XML schema.
Recorset Structure: Here you need to enter the sequence and the number of substructures. Since Header is one but you can have many Line items, you will write:
customernumber,1,documenttype,1,Address,1,LineItem,*
this format is clearly explained in the link provided by Divya.
And in the Additional fields you need to write the name of fields corresponding to different Recorset Structures and also add some property to it, like fixed lengths, use some separators etc.
and Most important field is:
Key Field Name: If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value *, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from their content. This means that a key field must be set with different constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key field and the field name must occur in all substructures.
Here you need to enter LineItem as it is the only Recordset Structure with an *.
I hope this solves your problem,
Thanks and Regards,
Varun Joshi

Content Conversion: Header and Item

Hi everybody,
as the parameters are not explained detailed, I have to ask you:
I have a file as follws:
SENDER;RECEIVER   //this line occurs only once
1111;2222   //this line occurs only once
ARTICELNUMBER;AMOUNT//this line occurs only once
444;10//this line occurs unbounded
555;20
The result should look like this (line 1 and 3 have to be ignored!)
<ORDER>
*     <HEAD>*
*          <SENDER>1111</SENDER>*
*          <RECEIVER>2222</RECEIVER>*
*     </HEAD>*
*     <ITEM>*
*          <ARTICELNUMBER>444</ARTICELNUMBER>*
*          <AMOUNT>10</AMOUNT>*
*     </ITEM>*
*          <ITEM>*
*          <ARTICELNUMBER>555</ARTICELNUMBER>*
*          <AMOUNT>20</AMOUNT>*
*     </ITEM>*
</ORDER>
What parameters and which values do I need?
Thanks a lot,

Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Sudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.

Sridhar

Data conversion questions

Hi Everyone,
I'm confused by the data conversion rule and how to do it in abap, could you help me about some of my questions?
1. How many ways to do data conversion ( like assignment .....)?
2. When using field symbol, we know we can assign reference to field symbol , and at mean time , we can casting type.
    Is this kind of casting also a way to do data conversion?
3. In my real case, I have unknown type data to convert to xstring. the type could be any ( I, D, T, STRING......). Is there an easy way to implement that when I get the data reference, I only need to import it to a method and then the method return an xstring to me?
4. question 3 is about data->xstring, and how can I convert xstring back to the original data( should be the same type )?
Thanks and Regards,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
try this FM:     CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
is useful for convert different data type, here an example:
     call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          exporting
            input         =   A    ( type unknown )
          importing
            output        = B ( type xstring ).
Perhaps that helps,
Regards,

Difference b/w Header and Item data........

Hi,
What is the difference between Header data and Item data ? Please tell me in detail.

In SAP we have the various Level of Data...
for example of a Sales Document.
The Sales Header Data would Contain various bussiness flowws how the document should behave should it be a Sales Order or a Quotation or A frwee of charge delivery.
Now the Item which you enter in the order the materails I mean will have the controls from the Item Data that you maintain in the Item categories.
The Sales Order next to be delievered by a delivery so these data goes to the schedule line level control.....
Hope you will get some light on what is explained above.

Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

Hi All,
Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
Thanks,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc., ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery. The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.

How to header and item data of sales order using bapi interface

hi friends,
   i am geetha, i having a problem like how to upload sales oder header and item data through va01 tcode using BAPI FUNCTION MODULES.
i need bapi function modules for header adn item data and brief explation on that , how to pass importing and tables parameters to get exact output .
regards
geetha.

Use : BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
Sales order: Create Sales Order
Functionality
You can use this method to create sales orders.
You must enter at least sales order header data (via ORDER_HEADER_IN structure) and partner data (via the ORDER_PARTNERS table) as input parameters.
Enter the item data via the ORDER_ITEMS_IN table. You can allocate item numbers manually, by filling in the relevant fields, or the system does it, according to the settings for Customizing, by leaving the relevant fields blank.
If you have configurable items, you must enter the configuration data in the ORDER_CFGS_REF, ORDER_CFGS_INST, ORDER_CFGS_PART_OF and ORDER_CFGS_VALUE tables.
Credit cards can be transferred via the BAPICCARD structure, on the one hand, data for card identification, on the other, data for a transaction which has taken place in an external system.
Once you have created the sales order successfully, you will receive the document number (SALESDOCUMENT field). Any errors that may occur will be announced via the RETURN parameter.
If no sales area has been created in the sales order header, then the system creates the sales area from the sold-to party or ship-to party, who has been entered in the partner table. If a clear sales area cannot be created, you will receive a system message, and the sales order will not be created.
Notes
1. Mandatory entries:
ORDER_HEADER_IN : DOC_TYPE     Sales document type
                   SALES_ORG    Sales organization
                   DISTR_CHAN   Distribution channel
                   DIVISION     Division
ORDER_PARTNERS..: PARTN_ROLE   Partner role, SP sold-to party
                   PARTN_NUMB   Customer number
ORDER_ITEMS_IN..: MATERIAL     Material number
2. Ship-to party:
If no ship-to party is entered, use the following: Ship-to party =
sold-to party.
3. Commit control:
The BAPI does not have a database commit. This means that the relevant application must leave the commit, in order that can be carried out on on the database. The BAPI BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT is available for this.
4. German key words:
The following key words must be entered in German, independantly of
the logon language:
DOC_TYPE     Sales document type, for example: TA for standard order
PARTN_ROLE   Partner role, for example: WE for ship-to party
Further information
You can find further information in the OSS. The note 93091 contains general information on the BAPIs in SD.

In BDC how you handled header data and item data

In BDC how you handled header data and item data

Raja,
Can you be more clear ?
Usually you load the header data one and then loop at the item data and then load the item data.
This example should help you.

Date Conversion from GMT to Local and Local To GMT considering DST.

Hi,
I have a application which displays the time in GMT across all the screens,and saves in Local/Default TimeZone as application would be deployed in europe and India.I have written a utility which does the conversion.
I just want to know that how to handle the Daylight Saving Time[DST] as we are taking the data from database and converting it to LocalTime Zone.This works fine but what would happen if the sever time is changes due to DST.There would be problem between the object saved before the DST and after DST because we are simply converting stored time to GMT to show on the screen.
Please share if you some solution/suggestions.
Thanks.

That statement is phrased oddly.
A java.util.Date uses a UTC offset with millisecond resolution.
A jdbc driver converts that value into a "correct" value for the target database.And from.
The form that is stored in the database is entirely database dependent. The actual form stored in the database can take many forms.True, but it is highly likely to be an offset from some "epoch" (Progress, for example, uses 00:00:00 1/1/-3714 UTC as I recall, and has 1-second granularity).Yes but as I said the phrasing was odd. A timestamp, by definition, must be an offset of something. Doesn't matter how it is represented. After all the year 2009 is an offset in the Gregorian calander.
However in terms of actual storage the way it is stored is unlikely to be similar to what Java does. As examples neither Oracle nor MS SQL Server uses a single numeric offset.
It might not even have a concept of timezone.Again true, although I've yet to come across one; and since OP is only concerned about the timezone in Java I'm not quite sure how relevant that is.
Relevant in terms of the description in terms of what java does, what the database does and how it gets from java to the database.
I would also expect any JDBC driver that cannot translate to or from a Java date correctly to document the fact in 60-point bold type, since it's a violation of the implied contract of ResultSet.getDate().Except that depends on your definition of "correct".
Examples of that
- Oracle doesn't have millisecond resolution at all in its common format.
- MS SQL Server doesn't have the same resolution as java, instead there is an odd resolution (one three-hundredth of a second).
- MS SQL Server doesn't have timezones, so if you don't take care and your data crosses timezones the timestamp will be different.
The drivers will not warn you of things like that. At least not that I have seen.
Format for Oracle.
