Hi Sudheer,
Just go through the SAP note 386982.
Solution:
because InfoObject 0POSTAL_CD cannot be changed in the delivered Content, InfoObject 0POSTALCODE (which has no conversion exit like the source field in the R/3 System)was created in Release BW 2.0B.
Attribute 0POSTCD_GIS, referencing to 0POSTALCODE, was assigned to InfoObjects 0CUSTOMER, 0CONSUMER and 0VENDOR.
The real solution of the problem is to use attribute 0POSTCD_GIS instead of attribute 0POSTAL_CD. However, to do this you also have to change your InfoCubes!
A simplified solution is to execute a routine for attribute 0POSTAL_CD during loading the master data,the routine calls the conversion exit explicitly. To do this, proceed as follows:
Change the transfer rules for InfoSource 0CUSTOMER and/or 0CONSUMER and/or 0VENDOR for attribute 0PSOTAL_CD from 'MOVE' to 'ROUTINE' and create the following routine:
  $$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line       *-
DATA: l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int.
   call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
     exporting
       input  = tran_structure-pstlz
     importing
       output = result.
returncode <> 0 means skip this record
   returncode = 0.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
   abort = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line        *-
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Harold.
