Error in ALPHA conversion

Hi experts,
I am loading a hierarchy for a infoobject. When I execute the infopackage, the monitor show me the next error:  Error in ALPHA conversion in NodeId00000009 for Infoobjetc 0CUSTOMER. Can anybody hepl me?

Hi,
Go to the transfer rules and check the Conversion checkbox for the info-object 0CUSTOMER. Retry the load. Hopefully it should go through.

  • Error in ALPHA conversion while loading hierarchies

    Hi,
    I got the following error while loading hierarchies:
    <i>Error in ALPHA conversion in NodeId00000088 for InfoObject 0PROFIT_CTR
    Message no. RH224
    Diagnosis
    The technical node name  for node id 00000088 is not consistent for conversion exit ALPHA, which is stored with InfoObject 0PROFIT_CTR.
    Possible reasons for the error:
    The original consistent value returned by the DataSource was changed by a conversion routine to a non-consistent conversion exit value.
    The DataSource returns a value that is not consistent in the conversion exit.
    System response
    Loading the hierarchy was terminated.
    Procedure
    Check whether the correct conversion exit was entered for the InfoObject. If necessary, change the conversion exit, conversion routine or the data to be extracted.
    A further option is to activate automatic conversion in the transfer rules. Here, the system executes the conversion exit, making sure that the data is in the correct format.</i>
    If it is not hierarchies, we fix this error by prefixing the zeros (as we are working on Qbox we wont change the transfer rules to select the conversion routine) but here there is no PSA, the data is coming from ALE. Based on this please suggest me to how to fix this error?
    Points will be given for any helpful suggestion

    Ganesh,
    Can you please check out the Alpha Conversion Routine and also nodeid for that infoobject..
    There might be some inconsistencies in the code..
    Hope it helps

  • ALPHA conversion error in Crystal and MDXTEST

    Hello Experts,
    I've a BW query which is running fine without errors But when a cross tab report is created in Crystal, we get the below error upon execution:
    "Characteristic value xxx of Characteristic ZXX is not ALPHA converted"
    The same error when run in MDXTEST.
    The InfoObject ZPRFTCTR and all its nav attribs has got ALPHA conversion enabled. Also, I am doing alpha conv in my expert routine of this infoobject.
    RSRV checks show no errors.
    No error while accessing data from cubes in BW.
    This error is only in Q and P not in D.
    I've re-activated Infoobject and transformation and transported to Q then reloaded the master data but still the same error.
    Have you guys faced this issue before? What could be causing this error. Please help.

    Hi,
    as this error also shows up in transaction MDXTEST it clearly indicates that the issue is already happening in the BW stack without the involvement from the SAP BusinessObjects tools.
    I would suggest you post your question into the SAP BW Forum.
    regards

  • Dont want ALPHA conversion

    Hi All,
    According to our requiremetn we dont want Alpha conversion. So i have removed check box in the info object definition. And also i did not use any conversion logic(usning Exit_conversion_alpha_input) in the transfer rules.
    But while loading i am getting an error <<info object>> does not contain alpha confirming value 028.
    and if i use alpha conversion there is no error but the value would 0000028, in which our customer is not interested. How to avoid this error??
    Is there any other way to solve this problem with out using conversion exit.
    Regards,
    Ravi

    Hi....
    The ALPHA routine converts purely numeric user input like '4711' into '004711' (assuming that the characteristic value is 6 characters long). If a value is not purely numeric like '4711A' it is left unchanged............
    I think values are found that do not have the correct internal format........
    Due to this you are facing this issue.....Check the field length of the value for which you are facing this issue.......

    Debjani.......

  • Alpha Conversion

    Hi All,
    When scheduling loads in one of the Info objects in Quality, i am getting this error:
    InfoObject /BIC/ZITM does not contain alpha-conforming value 90952
    I get this error for some other records of the same IO. I checked in our development system in the Transfer structure for'Alpha-Conversion routine' check box of the same Info object. It is unchecked. But, we didn't face any errors while scheduling loads in development.
    In the info object's definiton, entry 'Alpha' appears in the conversion routine field in both Dev. and Quality.
    What is the reaon for the error durimg loads in Quality?
    Thanks.

    Hi Roberto,
    The Info object ZITM is an attribute of 0Customer.ZITM is not checked for Alpha Conversion in the transfer structure of '0Customer_Attr' in the Development system. There is no problem when loading Customer.
    In Quality, though the Transfer structure appears the same, i do get 'Alpha Conversion' error for ZITM when scheduling loads into Customer.
    Thanks.

  • InfoObject - Alpha Conversion

    We have a custom InfoObject INNUM (Invoice Number) in BW 3.0B.  It is defined as CHAR 10.  Many of our customers send invoice numbers with leading zeros.  We need to store and retrieve these invoice numbers as sent.
    Unique invoice numbers are as follows:
    123
    00123
    0000123
    I have tried 2 options:
    With ‘Alpha Conversion’ the numbers are padded with leading zeros to length 10.  They can then be retrieved and displayed as ‘123’, without any leading zeros.
    Without ‘Alpha Conversion’ the numbers are padded with leading zeros to length 10 but can only be retrieved by searching with all leading zeros in the search string (0000000123).
    Is the Alpha Conversion functioning as advertised?  Is there a way to store, retrieve, and report on the invoice numbers as sent by our suppliers without adding leading zeros?
    Best regards,
    Mike

    It depends on the realeases: in fact to Upgrade to 3.x it was NECESSARY to carry out a massive ALPHA Conversion (so as to remore previous conversion errors). A BW installation born in 3.x (not Upgraded from 2.x) could still have some APLHA problem.
    With Aplha it seems to work right (from what you say), without NO! Without Alpha if you store the follwing values:
    123
    00123
    0000123
    each of them sholud be retrieved ONLY with the necessary leading zeros (so 123, 00123, 0000123) ... You say that "can only be retrieved by searching with all leading zeros in the search string (0000000123)": this is unusual. In fact if you store 123 on a CHAR 10 InfoObject you will see in S Table /BIC/SINNUM the same value "123" and NOT "0000000123". When attempting with NO Alpha Conversion did you deleted the InfoObjects value?
    Hop it helps

  • Error in Unit conversion while data loading

    Hi,
    I have maintained DSO in Material (0MATERIAL) info object > Bex tab > Base unit of measure > ZDSO; Then loaded this ZDSO from std data source  0MAT_UNIT_ATTR so that all conversion factors into different units which are maintained in material master data in ECC would get loaded to this DSO.
    Then I have created one Conversion type (ZCON) to read source unit from record and convert it to fixed unit "ST" with reference info object as 0MATERIAL. ST is customized UOM here.
    I am using ZCON conversion type to convert Qty in base UOM to Qty in ST in Bex reports under conversion tab of key figure. Now as this is std functionally, conversion would automatically takes place using ZDSO (mentioned above) as source and target UOM are not from same dimension (Base UOM is EA and target UOM is ST).
    If conversion factor to ST is not found in ZDSO then conversion to base UOM would happen automatically. Now this functionality is happening perfectly in Bex but its giving error if I use the same conversion type ZCON while data loads. Its giving error for those material for which ST conversion is not maintained. But when its not maintained by default it should convert it to base UOM, but its not converting and giving error in data loads.
    Hope I am able to explain the issue.
    Please help me on on this issue or any way around.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Alpha conversions in BW7

    Hello all,
    I found out that transaction for alpha conversion became obsolete in BW 7.0. You can observe this while you try to run TA RSMDCNVEXIT or RSMDEXITON in BW 7.0 SP10+ system is raising following error:
    Data conversion functions are no longer supported Message no. RSMD001
    Since I briefly searched on OSS and I'm not successful to find any relevant note I would like to ask here how Data conversion are handled in BW7. Somebody has any clue?
    PS. Note that I'm running on Unicode system.
    Thanks
    m./

    Hi Martin,
    Since some objects of the new data flow in BI 7.0, for example BIA, are not covered by RSMDCNVEXIT it has been set to obsolete. You should not use it anymore.
    As an alternative to solve your problem, if you would like to switch on a certain customer exit, you have to delete the data, switch on the customer data, and reload the data.
    For further information regarding to Customer exit please check the below links:

  • ALPHA Conversion Exit Problem

    Hi,
    I have an InfoObject ZPRODUCT1 with ALPHA Conversion Exit in RSD1 definition.In the Infosource and in the DataSource/Trans. Structure TAB when i check for the corresponding field it has some other Conversion exit called 'PRID1' and i couldn't change it.
    When i load the data i get the error at the PSA level itself and the message is,
    InfoObject /BIC/ZPRODUCT1 does not contain alpa-conforming value 80001909.
    How to fix this problem?
    Thank you
    arun

    Thanks,
      I already did that and it worked properly.
      Can you explain how come the conversion exit in Data source transfer structure and the InfoObject can be different?How did this worked?
      Will i be able to modify the Conversion exit assignment in the infoobject or Data Source/Trans. Structure TAB? How do i do this, it looks display only in RSD1?
    Thank you

  • Does Alpha Conversion work in new Release(SP14-16)?

    Hi guys,
    we have problem with Alpha conversion:
    we have an InfoObjekt, which includes an alpha conversion, but error occur with data loading in BI, when we have data value like "123", it can not be converted to "000123". Instead that, an error occurs and the data can not be loaded, we have to manuell change this value and then load...
    Is this because of new release (we have this new release since Feburar 2008)?
    Any hint is appriciated.
    Regards,
    Liying

    Yes, it does work still.
    Make sure that in the infosource (transfer rule), that the conversion flag is set for the infoObject.

  • Alpha Conversion  in node 00000010 for info object 0COSTCENTER

    Hi Masters,
    I am getting the problem in process chain hirachies. Info Object 0COSTCENETER  hier loading the data through process chain sucessfulyy completeed, when saving that hieracies process chain i am getting the error . the  problem is " Alpha conversion in node 00000010 for info object 0COSTCENTER".
    please give me some solutions
    thanks in advance.....
    kk

    kk,
    You can solve by writing an alpha conversion routine in the transfer rules for that infoobject and then load the data.
    DATA: l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
      EXPORTING
        INPUT         = TRAN_STRUCTURE-0COSTCENTER
      IMPORTING
       OUTPUT        =  RESULT.
    returncode <> 0 means skip this record
      RETURNCODE = 0.
    abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
      ABORT = 0.

  • Alpha conversion in 0customer

    Hi experts,
    In my development system alpha conversion routine is deleted from 0customer.
    Now I am trying to put it again but system given me follwing errors.
    Follwing tables still contains data.
    /BI0/PCUSTOMER
    /BI0/SCUSTOMER
    /BI0/TCUSTOMER
    I also tried to reinstall the 0customer business content but it is not sucessfull.
    Can u please help me on this ... it is very urgent.
    Regards,
    MVS

    Hi,
    this is a BAD recommendation!
    If the system cannot delete this master it is most probably because it is still used in cubes/ods or as attribute of another IObj;
    please check your master data deletion log by calling SLG1 with RSDMD and MD_DEL; you'll see in which IObjs your master data IDs are used; you will have first to delete the data is those objects before being able to delete 0CUSTOMER master data;
    performing an SE14 will create an inconsistency in your system
    hope this helps...
