Item Field Conversion

Thanks

Hi,
Itemfield Conversion :
Adds functions to SAP NetWeaver for converting data to and from XML. It can process unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data. The Conversion Agent can be called using an adapter module in the Adapter Framework of SAP Exchange Infrastructure.
You can find SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield in the SAP Software Distribution Center on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/swdc.
A partnership with Itemfield aims to introduce complex data transformation capabilities to SAP's offering. But the partners will face significant integration and support challenges.
On 5 December 2005, Itemfield, a provider of data transformation software, announced a partnership agreement with SAP. Under the terms of the agreement, SAP will embed the Itemfield Conversion Agent for SAP NetWeaver in its NetWeaver suite. This is an adaptation of Itemfields ContentMaster technology that is designed to plug into the latest release of NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (XI), SAPs application integration platform.
The addition of SAP to the list of Itemfield partners which includes IBM, Informatica, Oracle, Microsoft, webMethods and Software AG moves the company much closer to its goal of positioning ContentMaster as the de facto standard for independent data transformation technology. SAP's NetWeaver XI is achieving growing adoption, with 1,600 installed customers to date, but has somewhat limited transformation features. This combination of factors gives Itemfield an opportunity to substantially boost its own customer base. However, success will require a robust marketing effort, and the ability to scale up quickly to support a growing number of global customers.
The partnership will also help SAP make up for the lack of complex data transformation capabilities in XI a limitation that SAP customers have had to work around, either by developing custom code or by stretching the use of the XI business process management facility. The Itemfield Conversion Agent for SAP NetWeaver provides XI users with a proven and powerful option to address even the most complex unstructured, semistructured and structured data transformation issues. However, SAP will face a major challenge in effectively supporting, and keeping in a coherent state of integration, the growing number of third-party products in the XI platform (which include iWay and Seeburger adapters, IDS Scheer process-modeling tools, and now Itemfield's technology).
XI customers with complex data transformation requirements: Evaluate whether the Itemfield Conversion Agent for SAP NetWeaver meets your technological and financial needs. Demand contractual guarantees of adequate long-term support from SAP (which offers full support for the product) before making a commitment.
XI customers adopting XI in conjunction with other Itemfield partners' platforms: Consider using Itemfield as a "unified" transformation utility across multiple integration products (but remember that the Itemfield Conversion Agent for SAP NetWeaver is an additional-cost item, subject to the controversial XI volume-based pricing schema).
I hope this will clarify you.

Item filed- conversion agent

hi,
i read many blogs stating that i can use item fields conversion agent to convert edi into xml. I also read(/people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield) in this page that i can get the appropriate downloads for my operating system in service.market place.
But actually there is NO option or download available for LINUX X86 32 bit OS.
They only have for LINU X86 64 bit OS.
Can i download and install the same for my 32 bit operating system.

You are right the only option available is 64bit and I think you can try and install the same. I have not tried myself though.

Item field EDI-X12 automatic 997 Acknowledgments

hey ,
in our scenario we are receiving EDI-X12 850 and need to send back 997 functional acknowledment to confirm it .
we are using conversion agent by item field / informatica to parse the 850 into XML by using the relevant files ( *.XSD , *.TGP )
with validations.
from the conversion agent documentaiton we understand that we can generate this 997 automatically.
few questions :
1. how can we know the incoming EDI parsing ended unsuccessfully within the XI ?
2. is there any error log file or any other header indicator in the 850 validations xml ?
Best regards ,
ASA

Hi Asa
>>1. PI will be able to know that when the message gets processed by the file adapter and passes from AE to the integration server for routing/mapping.
>>can you please elaborate ?
After the EDI document is picked up by the file adapter it calls the parser to convert and perform the EDI to EDI XML transformation. When you design this parser you have to make sure that you have this built with the required validations (ex mandatory segments etc). If the parser is able to execute (In Adapter engine) and create the XML it automatically means that the 850 is valid and from there you can map and send it to SAP. If there is no message output and the file adapter is in error this means that your parser has failed and the document is invalid.
>>we want to split the scenario to two channels and only if the EDI 850 syntax and other validations is correct to pass the EDI into sap. in any case we want to to provide 997 F.A .
>>again, we do NOT want to count or add any other logic to check the 850 because there is a parser the should automatic generate the 997.
You may have to build a mapper and create the 997. I think its not possible for the parser to pop-out a 997 automatically when 850 is processed. I read the documentation that it is possible but doesnu2019t mention this functionality being available in conversion agent when used via PI.

Free item field checked defaultly in PO for one specific vendor

Hi,
If we always send a free PO to a vendor, is there any place to configure that once we create PO to this specific vendor, the free item field is checked defaultly?
Some posts on the web indicated that they succeeded in doing this by setting in vendor master, but I cannot find the field.
Where to achieve this function?
Thanks!
Wesley

Hi,
try to maintain a free goods condition in tcode MBN1 with
Discount type NR00 and make this article as an Additional material free
goods which will be procured free of cost on purchase of some other
article. The system will not consider the Net price value maintained in
the purchasing view of the article master and you would find that the
net price is ZERO for this free item in the Purchase order.

Page item field placement in report region

I have a report region that has item fields in it. Additionally I have a page item field that I can only display above left of the report region. Question: how can I move the page item to middle area above region and how do I associate it's value with one of the report item fields for use in PL/SQL block updates from that page?

Item Field returning value with hash character in Itemupdating?

I am trying to get value of item field from the list. The field is a lookup field with integer value. When I am trying get the value it is coming like 9;#9 (shown below). But I need only 9.
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList list = web.Lists["Project/Task Status Details"];
SPListItem item = properties.List.GetItemByIdSelectedFields(properties.ListItem.ID, "Project_x002f_Task_x0020_Status_");
int details = (int)item["Project_x002f_Task_x0020_Status_"]; //Error here
How get only value of it? not with hash.

Hi,
You can use:
SPFieldLookupValue fieldLookupValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(item["FieldName"].ToString());
int lookupID = fieldLookupValue.LookupId;

Configure ITEM FIELDS (Class /SAPSRM/IF_MDF_ITM_DYN_CONTROL) in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I am using the class /SAPSRM/IF_MDF_ITM_DYN_CONTROL with the common signature
IV_OBJECT_TYPE
IV_FIELD_NAME
IS_HEADER
IS_ITEM
IS_ADD_DATA
CS_METADATA
to control my fields within SRM on ITEM LEVEL.
Question:
I have one Shopping cart with two positions.
Is it posiible to configure the Item fields now on a positional basis?
eg.
Position 1 Field Description available
Position 2 Field Description not available
I debugged the class and changed cs_metadata for fields on position 1 and 2 but this might show no effect.
Any ideas?
Thanks and regards

Problem solved, wrong coding

Disable header and item fields in VA02

Hello, good day
Could you please help me with next issue?
I need to define how to inactivate some header and item fields in a sales order when VA02 is used, a logic to decide if the field must be desable will be applied, because of that I can't use standar customizing solution.
I read a lot of threads, but many of them are not answered, and as far as I can see many recommended solutions are refered to similar code that I have now.
I tried with next user exits:
To block gray out header and item fields:
User exit form USER_EXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION Program: MV45AFZZ
To gray out pricing grid
User exit form: USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION Program: LV69AFZZ
To gray out partner screens (item, header): No user exit identified, please advise
to gray out new items in sales order: No user exit identified, please advise, I mean not allow new items.
fields to block:
XVBAK-LIFSK
XVBAK-FAKSK
XVBAK-KUNNR
XVBKD-VSART
XVBKD-INCO1
XVBAP-UNTTO
XVBAP-UEBTO
XVBPA-KUNNR
XVBPA-PARW
XVBAP-ROUTE
XVBAP-ABGRU
The code is something like this in MV45AFZZ - USER_EXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION
      CASE screen-name.
        WHEN    'XVBAK-KUNNR'
             OR '*XVBAK-KUNNR'.    "Sold To
          screen-input = 0.
       END CASE
but is not working. please advise.
Disable Pricing grid: after apply this code, is possible to add new manual conditions, how can I disable input new item conditions?
The code is something like this in LV69AFZZ - USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION Program:
Modify screen fields
    IF   SCREEN-NAME = 'RV61A-KOEIN'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KBETR'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KPEIN'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KMEIN'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KWERT'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KSCHL'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KUMZA'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'KOMV-KUMNE'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = '*RV61A-KOEIN'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = '*KOMV-KBETR'

      OR SCREEN-NAME = '*KOMV-KUMZA'
      OR SCREEN-NAME = '*KOMV-KUMNE'.
         SCREEN-ACTIVE = '1'.
         SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
         MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
Modify buttons
    IF   SCREEN-NAME = 'BT_KOAN'    "Add
      OR SCREEN-NAME = 'BT_KOLO'.   "Delete
         SCREEN-ACTIVE = '1'.
         SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
         MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    IF   SCREEN-NAME = 'BT_KONY'.   "Update
         SCREEN-ACTIVE = '1'.
         SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
         MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
Thanks in advace.

Thanks Sai, for your prompt answer, as far as understand variants, I can't add any logic, to allow change or only display, I do no't include the logic in the sample code, but that's my case, I need the user exit due a logic must be applied and standar solution like variant or customizing are not the better option.
I Found that in order to gray pricing grid we just put the code in user exit form: userexit_field_modific_leer include LV69AFZZ
and to block the other fields and to block partner functions:
Include Program: MV45AF0P_PARTNER_PREPARE                    User Exit Form: partner_prepare

Hello,
check this:
Number of Decimal Places
A program symbol of one of the data types DEC, QUAN, and FLTP can contain decimal place data. Use the option below to override the Dictionary definition for the number of decimal places for the formatting of this symbol value.
Syntax
&symbol(.N)&
The EKPO-MENGE field contains the value 1234.56. The Dictionary definition specifies 3 decimal places and an output length of 17.
&EKPO-MENGE& -> 1,234.560
&EKPO-MENGE(.1) -> 1,234.6
&EKPO-MENGE&(.4) -> 1,234.5600

Organizing Outlook moving sent items in conversation view

Can someone shed some light on why in Outlook 2010 and now, since I have upgraded, 2013, sent items are not moved as part of the conversation? If I have an email exchange and decide that I want to keep the conversation I click and drag the
whole conversation into a sub folder, but it leaves the items sent from me in the sent folder!!! WHY!?! Maybe I am missing some logic or reasoning to this, could someone PLEASE shed some light on this?
Thanks

Date field conversion

hi gurus! can someone give me a tip on a date field conversion.
I have a field that comes YYYYMMDD but i want to convert to DD.MM.YYYY
Can someone help me on this
Thk, Regards

REPORT Z_82235_TEST4                           .
data: date1(8) type c,
       date2(10) type c.
       date1 = 'YYYYMMDD'.
CONCATENATE date1+6(2) date1+4(2) date1(4) INTO date2 separated by '.'.
you pass your date to date1 in place of 'yyyymmdd' and you will gate ur desired output on date2.

Field conversion problem

Hi,
somebody has written mv45afzz program. now I am modifying that.
last week i included a field in vbap table as field1 (CHAR, 18).
num1 field has CHAR(10).
FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP.
if vbap-matnr <> *vbap-matnr.
    clear vbap-field1.
    select single t1~num1 into vbap-field1
      from mara as t1 inner join zcust as t2
        on t1num1 = t2num1
      where matnr = vbap-matnr
      and   mtart = 'NSTK'
      and   delet = ''.
endif.
this user exit is related to Contracts(va41). when i am giving material number in va41, it is checking with mara table and saying that number is not valid.
for example i entered 1001 number as matnr which is exist in the mara table.
In debug mode, i added 14 zeros in field1, then it is working perfectly.
shall i need to call the field conversion function module like...
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT...
anybody has idea...
Thanks in advance,
Yad.

Hi,
I have written like this..still not getting...padding zeros to vbap-field1 is my solution..but how can i do that...

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'
    EXPORTING

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.
