Hi All,
At the time of creating infoobjects under General Tab we have option Conversion Routine : Alpha (by default), can anybody put light on that what is that exactly.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
See the following program, and the same logic you can apply in Transfer Rules/Transformations. Take ABAPer help.
REPORT ZALPHA_INPUT.

      ZI = '000000099999889925'.
      ZS = '099999889925'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
      INPUT         = ZI
   IMPORTING
     OUTPUT        = ZO.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

How to transport InfoObject Conversion Routine

Hi,
I am using an existing coversion routine to my InfoObjects, this conversion routine is a custom object which already existed in Dev created by someone and i have just used it for my InfoObjects, now how can i transport this conversion routine to CONS, is it enough if i just transport the INPUT and OUTPUT function module.
Thanks
Akila. R

hi Just go to the transport Connection, select the infoobjet automatically the conversion routines will be associated with it no need of collecting it seperately .
for example
ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers.
For conversions from an internal to an external format (function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) the process is reversed. Blank characters on the left-hand side are omitted from the output.
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT ths functional module will be transorted automatically with out your notice
hope this helps

What are the commonly used conversion routines apart from alpha conversion?

hi all,
Can any one let me know the commonly used conversion routines apart from alpha conversion routines ?
thanxs ina dvance

Hari
There are lot of conversion routines, like
BUCAT Conversion Routine. eg. The BUCAT conversion routine converts the internal presentation of the budget type
(0BUD_CAT) into the external presentation (0BUD_CAT_EX), using the active entries in the
master data table for the budget type InfoObject (0BUD_CAT).
see the link below for all the routines.

Please provide some input to resolve the problem.
Thanks and regards,

Write your code in start routine to convert it to upper case.

How to reset Conversion Routine NUMCV in InfoObject

Dear all,
In order to test, I deleted the Conversion Routine NUMCV in tab General of an InfoObject. And now I'd like to reset it as NUMCV. A message says: Conversion Routine NUMCV was deleted.
How can I resolve it?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to create a new InfoObject, but everytime when I choose "Data type" as NUMC and then choose "Convers. Rout" as "NUMCV", it's said : Conversion Routine NUMCV was deleted.
Do you have any idea?

How to remove conversion routine "ABPSN"

Dear gurus,
In my transfer rules, under the tab "DataSource/Trans. Structure", I have a field PSPID whose "Conversion Routine" has the value "ABPSN". This conversion routine converts the external format to the SAP format which, however, is not what I want. I want to remain the original format so I need to remove this "ABPSN" conversion routine. When I double clicked it, it linked to the InfoObject 0PROJECT maintanace screen. On that screen, I removed the conversion routine "PROJ" for 0PROJECT, but still ABPSN remains and the data loaded into the InfoCube have been converted.
So how can I remove this ABPSN convertion routine?
Thanks in advance.
Jin Ming

Hi Jin Ming,
Conversion Exit ABSPN is related to WBS element and not project at R/3 side.
But at BW side this routine internally calls Project routine .
The Process is,
1. Delete all transactional data , from related ODS & Cube wherever 0PRoject is used .
2. Delete master data from 0Project.
3. Change object 0Project remove the conversion using Tcode RSD1.
4. Load master data for 0Project.
5. Load transaction data.
Hope that helps.

Mr Kapadia

How to "Custom conversion routine" in BW

Hi team,
The R3 table level field has converion routine which stores the value as "A" .
When you display this in application (or) using ALV, it shows as "AB". There are custom function modules behind this conversion routine.
In BW, when we extract until PSA, we are getting "A".
I see the option at Info object level to write" conversion routine" but how and where to start this conversion routine in BW.
In BW, we want to show "AB"
Thanks
Angelo

Hi,
this problem is solved in transformation PSA to InfoObject using formula or routine.

Conversion Routine problem

Hi,
In one of the info object there is a conversion routine. So, when the query is executed in BeX Query Analyzer the result is comming correct i.e. if in the database the value of info object is 0001234 then at display it is coming as 1234.
However, in case if its value is "STEP" in database , at output "Not Assigned" is comming. Dont know what is happening. If anybody already encouter this problem please help.

Hi,
It is not in the hierarchy.
I am using alpha routine so as to remove the leading zeros at the time of display.
There are two info objects, both are same, the only difference between them is one info object is having alpha routine and another one is without it.
The one info object without any routine is displaying values correctly but the another one with aplha routine is displaying 00123 as 123 but also displaying STEP as Not Assigned.

What is meant by matn1 conversion routine in info object

hi,
Can i know the exact meaning and usage of matn1 (type of conversion routine) in the infoobject level.
thanks in advance

Hi Sankar,
Conversion takes place when converting the contents of a screen field from display format to SAP-internal format and vice versa and when outputting with the ABAP statement WRITE, depending on the data type of the field.
Check the info here:

Can anybody tell me any conversion routine while can remove leading zeros from a character value.

I tried with Alpha conversion routine but that is useful only with numeric values.
Please help.

PRODU Conversion Routine

Hi Experts,
We are loading data from APO to BW. However, the Material length in APO is 40 with PRODU conversion routine. In BW, the Material length is 18 with ALPHA conversion routine.
During data loading, if the value is '000000000000000000000000000000000001' in APO, it will display as '0000000000000000' in BW. Please advise on how to correct this. Thank you.

HI
first check in SPRO.. settings configures. 4.3.Specify Output Format of Product Number
IMG > Advanced Planning & Optimization>Master Data>Product> Specify Output Format of Product Number.
For example:
Product Number with Leading Zeros: 000000001234 (zeros up to defined length of product number)
Product Number without Leading Zeros: 1234 (leading zeros removed from product number)
Following the menu path or transaction code above:
u2022 Uncheck the u201Cleading zerosu201D box and save the setting.
