Change Decimal Notation Format

Hi All
We have a requirement to output currency and quantity fields in a smartform to a different format than is specified in the users settings.
This can be different depending on the country key of the vendor.
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically change the decimal notation of a smartform.
Thank you
Darren

Hi,
Please check this function Module HRGPBS_HER_FORMAT_AMOUNT
or
You can use :
Write <CURRENCYFILED> to <new_field >USING CURRENCY 'USD'.
then you can use New-field in the smartform

Change decimal notation as per user's profile

Hi all,
The input file has a price in the following format:
1,000.50
Is there any function module that converts the price as per the user's profile format.
1,000.50 should be converted to 1.000,50 as per the user's profile setting of decimal notation.
Regards,
Chandan

hi check this.....
data: test1(10) type c ,
      test type p decimals 2 value '1000.50' .
write test to test1 .
       replace all occurrences of ',' in test1 with '#' .
       replace all occurrences of '.' in test1 with '*' .
        replace all occurrences of '#' in test1 with '.' .
         replace all occurrences of '*' in test1 with ',' .
       write:/ test1 .

Impact of changing decimal of UOM from 2 to 3 decimal

Hi Folks,
I need to know if there is systemwide impact of changing the 'decimal place' of unit of measurement from 2 to 3.
for example "EA" has decimal places 2 if change it to 3 what would be the system impact overall.
Thanks
Shine

Hi Shine,
If you increase the decimals, your increasing the resolution of the measurement. So from measurement point of view, you will be more accurate.
But before proceeding, you need to analyze which unit your modifying, what is the need for doing the same. If the need justifies, then check which materials are using this unit of measure. Also check if there is any open items, like PO, SFO, PR etc. Analyze by changing what will be the impact on them.
Next you need to assess from Finance point of view, because if you increase the resolution, your allowing the user to store the qty at even lower value, so during cost roll-up the value might go below the permissible levels, so thereby the value would be 0.
So based on the above, you should be able to analyze & manage the issue.
Hope the above answers your query.

Vivek

How to change Decimal Notation based on User settings programmatically?

Hello All,
Like cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_ext_to_int and cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext which changes the date format ,is there any class/method which changes the number format......I mean decimal and thousand separator format. I have to do that based on the User settings which I am getting from USR01 table. But not getting any class/method where I have to submit the number along with the format to get the format as per user settings.
Thanks in Advance.
regards.
Sarbajit.

Hi Sarbajit,
No need for FM. Try like below using 'Write To' statement,
Declare a variable of type P.
Move ur number to that variable.
Then Write that variable to variable of type Char.
Now Char variable will contain value according to the User Decimal Settings.
PARAMETERS: num TYPE i DEFAULT 9999. " Enter ur number
DATA: qty TYPE p DECIMALS 3, " Variable of Packed type
            ch(13) TYPE c. " Character variable
qty = num.
WRITE qty TO ch.     " According to Decimal format in SU01, value is written
WRITE ch.
Thanks,

BestPractices Error - Set Decimal Notation and Date Format

Hello everyone,
first of all, I don't know, if this is the right forum for my question, but I hope so
We're trying to implement the Best Practices Scenarios to a new SAP ERP System.
We did the steps of the following url, where everything worked fine: http://help.sap.com/bp_dm603/DM_DE/html/index_DE.htm
Then we integrated Best Practices 603V8 via Solution Builder (TA: /n/SMB/BBI). But now, when we switch to Implementation Assistant and try to activate Scenario DE_109 --> 100(DE) --> Folder USERSETTINGS, we receive the following error in report /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32: Set Decimal Notation and Date Format.
So we called transaction SU3 and changed Decimal Notation and Date Format, but the error still exists.
Anybody knows what to do?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Patrick
PS: We executed Testscript /SMB99/SU3_C009_B32 via TA SECATT and there is the error:
TCD SU3 0,292 sec N Maintain Users Own Data

Changing decimal place of price field

Hi Experts,
Can any one let me know the impact of changing decimal place of 2 digit to 3 digit for the field NETPR & NETWR in EKPO table?
Requirement is to maintain very negligible amount like 0.001 for some of the items in PIR, contract and PO.
Suitable answer will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Pushparajh S.

0,01 per 10 is certainly zero and this is not allowed.
Where is this getting rounded? can you name the field?
Of course it does not make sense if you just order a quantity of 1 haivng a price with 3 decimals when the currency allows only 2 decimals, because you cannot pay the 3rd decimal.
such prices make only sense if you buy huge quantities. e.g. 20000 kg with a price of 1,255 Euro per KG,
this is a total of 25100 Euro then, and here the 3rd decimal is about 100 Euro for the total quantity.

Regional Settings Decimal Notation

Hi - Quick question here
I want to default a specific Decimal Notation for our field sales team and do not want them to have to go to the Personalize menu to change. How do I do this? I have reviewed the Admin Guide but could not find any details on how to do this.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
The decimal notation depends on the personalized settings of each user.
In the current release of the system these changes are user specific i.e. all your users will have to change it with their respective logins to be able to use the required decimal notation.
I’ve heard there is a plan to deliver a report which enables changing decimal notation for mass employees, but there is no commitment for this.

Is the Decimal Notation Setting based on the country of the vendor?

I would like to ask help with regards to an error which i encountered when I Print Preview a Purchase Order Document via Transaction ME23N.
Within the Print Program, the Decimal Point setting is normal ( for example 2.90, 192.97, 1,903.00 , etc.), but when the value is passed on to the SAPscript Form the Decimal Point setting is incorrect ( for example 2,90 , 192,97 , 1.903,00). This error is only observed on a single Vendor being used in the creation of the PO.
I would like to confirm if indeed the settings for Decimal Notation is based on the settings being used in the specific country of the vendor.
I hope anyone can help me out with this one. Reward points up for grabs.

Hi
In my case in sapscript while printing total for JPY is for three decimals but after calculating it used to take two decimals & leave one decimal to left ex as below.
FOB : 100.000
Freight: 10.00
Total : 1000.00 (In figures One Hundered & Ten Only).
here in sapscript program this decimal notation was given for two hence it was going to left side we correct it to three decimal notation.
kindly check with script & you can fix it there.

How to do setting of decimal notation and arithmatic and character note

Hi colleagues
I do have one problem
And the following setting tried in SAP netweaver so do not give any hint for Netweaver
The problem is stated as follows
in output type in Germany they use , instead of . the dot signifies point that is .
and we use , as a seperator in means suppose we have to write 2000 we write like wise means as per our requirement whether we need to mention 2.000 or 20.00 but in germany they use comma ,
so in output type display point the problems are increasing and they are not getting solved.
so it is the question of compatibility
what went wrong i am unable to understand
is there is any significance of country specific setting of decimal notation
or any thing need hint towards the same.

Hi
For your output type assign a smartform and in the smartfrom write the program that the decimals should come like , instead of . then your requirement can be fulfilled
Also check in OY04 wheather you can maintain or not
