Data Conversion Logic

I am now trying to implement a data conversion logic(such as UOM field), I want to load all the data conversion rules in the cache from file and keep them in the cache. So when mapping starts it just picks up the data conversion rules from the cache.
Using GlobalContainer it is ok for one mapping even several UOM fields(just load from file once). But it will load from file again when the mapping is triggered again.
Is there any logic I can use to implememt the data conversion just load from file once?
Regards,
Nick

Hi Arnold,
normally every input should be made in LC, why you enter the data in group currency?
However if you have to start from group currency the only solution to avoid this error is to put at the end of sprunconversion the ON_ERROR_CONTINUE clause.
But remember he will stop to notify every type of error so you have to be very careful and have this clear in mind when some issue occurs with the currency conversion.

Date conversion logic using function modules

Hi there,
I have been researching in the forum how data conversion is done in ABAP and I found out about the function modules
CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT
and
MONTH_NAMES_GET
It seems that the first function module can convert the date format 06/08/2011 to MONTH DD,YYYY and the second function can easily translate the month names once language SPRAS has been specified.
Problem is I am not sure how I can convert my VBRK-FKDAT with format MM/DD/YYYY into the format DD MONTH YYYY format with the MONTH still dependent on the specified language.
I tried to look at how to MONTH_NAMES_GET FM works and made this code:
DATA: d_return like sy-subrc,
      itab_T247 like T247 occurs 0 with header line,
      gs_spras type spras.
gs_spras = 'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
   LANGUAGE                    = gs_spras
IMPORTING
   RETURN_CODE                 = d_return
TABLES
    MONTH_NAMES                 = itab_T247
EXCEPTIONS
   MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND       = 1
   OTHERS                      = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Loop at itab_t247.
Write:/ itab_t247-LTX.
endloop.
The code just lists the months in Russian (which is the language I need). I am just new to ABAP so I am an avid reader of the forum. I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
dgrachee

Hi Dgrachee ;
You can change it as follows.
Best Regards.
gs_spras = sy-langu. "'RU'.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks

Data conversion of material BOM by LSMW

Hi,
Right now I try to work on LSMW setting for data conversion of material BOM. However, I forgot how to set
the linkage of BOM header & item at LSMW since my last
experience was 1 year ago. I have set up 2 source structures, BOM_HD (header) & BOM_IT (item) from 2 files. Both source
structures contain one same source field, BOM_ID. From this identical BOM_ID field, the linkage of BOM header and items is set up between 2 files. Can
anyone know how to make the setting at LSMW ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Nancy

hello nancy,
their is no need of getting seperate reacording for both header and item. it will be enough if with only one in th lsmw in the first step u select the direct input method
and at source structure level create two strucutres such that one can be for header and the other would be for item
then in the same way while specifying file give first the header file and then the item file.
at the same step check whether the convert data is getting the logical path and file name or not if u dont then double click at that possition and create it. then ur recording will be done perfectly.
if u want the entire steps with screen shot i can send u

Conversion logic for the following!!

Hi,
Experts
can you help me to build a conversion logic for the following
1.BKPF-BLART .setting it to 'ZF'.
2.BKPF-MONAT derived from posting date
3.BKPF-WAERS set to GBP
4.Dr/.Cr indicator BSEG-SHKZG.
If Posting Key (BSEG-BSCHL) is u201840u2019 then this indicator (BSEG- SHKZG)is u2018Su2019 (Debit)
If Posting Key (BSEG-BSCHL) is u201850u2019 then this indicator (BSEG- SHKZG)is u2018Hu2019 (Credit)
5.a)If Cost Object Type is u2018Cu2019 (= Cost Centre), then Cost Collection Object Id shall be mapped to BSEG- KOSTL.
       BSEG- PRCTR should be derived from the Cost Centre Master data CSKS- PRCTR.
       Effective date should fall between the validity dates CSKS-DATAB and CSKS-DATBI
b)If Cost Object Type is u2018Iu2019 (= Internal Order), then Cost Collection Object Id shall be mapped to BSEG- AUFNR.
       BSEG - PRCTR should be derived from the Internal Order Master data AUFK-PRCTR
c)If Cost Object Type is u2018Wu2019 (= Work Breakdown Structure element), then Cost Collection Object Id shall be mapped to BSEG-PROJK.
       BSEG - PRCTR should be derived from the WBS Master data PRPS-PRCTR
d)If Cost Object Type is u2018Pu2019 (= Profit Centre), then Cost Collection Object Id shall be mapped to BSEG - PRCTR.
6.Ledger Group BKPF-LDGRP. Set it to u2018Blanku2019 so that the document is posted to all ledgers.
7.Set BSEG-KOKRS (Controlling Area) to 1000.

Please do not dump your specs here expecting others to do you work.

PA - Transaction Data Conversion

Dear Experts,
Any one could help me what logic we have to follow when we do Data Conversion for PA for PA Transactional Data
Thanks
Bharath

Hi
You will need to upload the historical costs of the projects as miscellaneous transactions into PA TRANSACTIONS INTERFACE table.
It is recomended to set up a Transaction Source that will be used for conversion. Transactions would be already accounted, so system will not need to distribute those again in PA.
Usually companies tend to convert the historic cost of projects in summary, and not each EI separately. You could upload a transaction for summary amount by project, task, type, organization and period.

Char to Date conversion problem - again!

Hi,
in order to make date selection 'more attractive' for end users I have been tasked with presenting a text field with 'January 2010', 'February 2010' etc to the end users for their prompts.
So far so easy...
However, I then need to use the values to derive either dates, or years, or date numbers.
This all works fine during development when I am testing using a default parameter thus; -
'@{MYMONTHYEAR}{September 2010}' - which is fed into various very complex functions.
BUT - when I try to use the report in conjunction with the parameter I get; -
'The evaluation of the index 6 expression on row count -1 failed. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 2010/09/01 does not match the specifiied format'
However, cast('2010/09/01' as date) works fine... and convoluted as the logic of my functions is, the fundamental char to date conversion is exactly in this format.
Anyone shed any light on this, give me a guaranteed way to handle char to date conversion?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I tried your workaround case when 1=2... but I still get the same error....
Not when I have the format from my default value, but when I get the value from a dashboard prompt in a page.

It does not error, but returns no data in isolation, but when when from the prompt it errors...
And the date format, if fed into a cast ('2012/09/01' as date) does not error.
Anyone help - this is really driving me mad, syntax is good - it should work!!!

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

Otherwise if it has to be converted identifying the POs under this scenario, you may consider converting those maintaining receipt close tolerance as 100% and matching type as 2 -way (again business approval needed to handle audit issues) in order to avoid the receipts/delivery conversion etc.<br>
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB<br>Ideally returns can be done using Miscellaneous/Account Alias Issues specifying the appropriate transaction reasons to clarify the scenario.<br>

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

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..
Thanks,

Data conversion for New GL - Going live during fiscal year

Hi Experts,
My client is going live on Oct 1 (fiscal year in Jan -Dec). So for data conversion we need to load P&L and BalanceSheet as of Sept 30, 2009. I need your help to resolve few open issues. (we have activated Doc Splitting with Zero Balance and Segment )
1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers.
Sorry for asking too many questions. Any help would me very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
Each P&L account balance has to be upload with cost centre, then automatically PC will be triggered.
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
Let client decide the profit centre for balance sheet items, since they knows which balance relates to which pc
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
While uploading AR,AP balances, each line item to be uploaded with profit centre, automatically in october PC assignment will work.
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers
Try to identify each balance sheet gl balance to each profit centre, this will help in future reports. otherwise put in common pc
