Japanese (Kanji) to English data conversion

Hello All,
Our Customer MM, vendor data is stored in Kanji in SAP.
How can we display this data in English?
Is there a special conversion setup or configuration we need?
Can someone please direct me to configuration steps.
Thanks,

Hi,
For the vendor there is not any auto conversion from Japanese to English.
When create the vendor in the Vendor master the user should select the Japanesh language to update the details. There is a option for international version, in that needs to maintain the English description.
Please let me know if more information.

Burt,
The forum that you have posted your question in is for questions related to the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver or B1iSN. Is your question related to B1iSN?
Is your question in relation to SAP Business One? If it is you should post your question in the SAP Business One Discussion Forum.
With respect to your question ... SAP Business One does have the ability to allow different users to view the SAP Business One interface in the language they choose in the Administration area of SAP Business One, but that is translation for the Business One forms and labels. The data as stored in the database cannot be translated by the Business One application. All users will see the same data as stored in the database language chosen when the database was installed an configured.

Should be able to enter both Japanese data and English data into the database without

Scenario 1:
Database Char Set: UTF 8
National CharSet :UTF8
String Type:Varchar2
Problem :Unable to enter more than 1/3rd of the field length specified when entering Kanji(Japanese) Data
Scenario 2:
Database Char Set: JA16EUC/JA16SJIS
National CharSet :JA16EUCFixed/JA16SJISFixed
String Type:NVarchar2
Problem :Unable to enter/retrieve English data written into the database but works fine with Japanese
Scenario 3:
Database Char Set: UTF8
National CharSet :JA16EUCFixed
String Type:NVarchar2
Problem :Unable to enter/retrieve English data written into the database but works fine with Japanese

You will not be able to display the process form, or edit those values from the view profile screen.
You would need to create custom fields that are mapped from the process form to the user's profile. Then you would need to create user form update triggers from the User Defined Fields that when the user changes them, they get pushed to the target process form by adding those task names into the provisioning process definition. This would then trigger the updates to the target resource.

Non English characters conversion issue in LSMW BAPI Inbound IDOCs

Hi Experts,
We have some fields in customer master LSMW data load program which can
contain non-English characters. We are facing issues in LSMW BAPI
method with non-English characters Conversion. LMSW steps read and
conversion are showing the non-English characters properly with out any
issue. While creating inbound IDOCs most of the non-English characters

the first name, last name and address details. Any specific setting
needs to be done from our side? Please suggest me to resolve this issue.

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks

Hope this logic helps you.
DATA LF_DATE TYPE DATS VALUE '21122010'. " 21-dec-2010
DATA LF_DATE_BI(10).
WRITE LF_DATE TO LF_DATE_BI. "Now LF_DATE_BI contains the date in user format
"Now populate the value LF_DATE_BI to the screen field

What do I do in Kotoeri to display furigana above Japanese Kanji?

What do I do in Kotoeri to have the furigana/pronuncation/reading of Japanese kanji display above the kanji characters in a Pages document?

PeterBreis0807 wrote:
LightwayText is definitely an option anyway.
Yes, it is an option, but not an option I would recommend.
iText Express does not seem to have furigana. It is anyhow not in the same place in the menu as iText Pro. It does have vertical writing, though, and that is not bad.
iText Pro and LightWayText have both vertical writing and furigana.
The real problem with all three applications is that the format of their Japanese features is not outwards compatible. I have not been able to save to any format that can be opened by any other furigana-able application, like OpenOffice or MS Office.
I would hesitate a lot before tying myself to a file format that is supported by just one application or company, and which cannot be opened by other applications. Hence my recommendation of OpenOffice, or, if you have access to a Japanese or English version, MS Word.
If someone finds a way to export the Japanese features to more standard file formats, the situation changes, of course.

OSA - Japanese/Kanji Char support

I have a DW and bunch of OSA reports on top of this DW.
I need to upgrade OSA to support Japanese/Kanji characters.
1. Does OSA support Kanji char set?
2. If so, what version of OSA server do I need?
3. What version of OSA client do I need?
4. What changes have to be made in the DB initialization
parameters?
5. When I run a report, how can I figure out that the
user running the report needs data in Japanese?
Do I need this information as some kind of
local/user specific parameter or is this value
set/defined in the client software?
Thanks.

Also, when I open
Kotoeri preferences, it doesn't show any dictionaries
or allow me to drag any (even downloaded ones) into
it. How do I fix this and what might have caused
it?
If the Kotoeri main dictionary is missing or closed, this would explain your problem. To get this back you might need to reinstall.
I think adding a dictionary involves putting it in a folder and then using some tools from the Kotoeri Prefs. I don't know if this info for another dictionary would help:

GL Data Conversion from Legacy to Oracle EBS

Hi All,
I am tasked with converting legacy data into GL. I have worked on other conversions like supplier, AR and AP conversions but never worked on GL conversion, so I don't know how and where to start, what are the pre-requisites for entering data into gl_interface table how to ensure that data is correct in the .csv file etc.
Kindly request you all to guide me in right direction. Hope to hear from you all very soon!!! :)
Regards

Hi,
When you talk about GL-Data it is the trial balance to be loaded from legacy to oracle applications.
You can use Web-ADI to upload it ,the check list are
The balance for each account comibnation in the legacy system to be mapped to GL-Oracle code combination balance
With respect to open AR, AP Invoices if the invoices are converted using a control account for migration in GL then
the the balance transfered from AP,AR need not be reversed in GL from the source receivables and payables.
In case if the same account combination are for migrating the balances from AP,AR to GL ..Then the balances transferred from AP,AR should be reversed ..so that it does not affect the TB-GL-Balance
Finally ensure that the balance for the TB-tallys with your legacy system and upload it using Web-ADI ,import and
review and post it.
Hope this points helps your GL-Data conversion.

Ramaa

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).

Otherwise if it has to be converted identifying the POs under this scenario, you may consider converting those maintaining receipt close tolerance as 100% and matching type as 2 -way (again business approval needed to handle audit issues) in order to avoid the receipts/delivery conversion etc.<br>
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB<br>Ideally returns can be done using Miscellaneous/Account Alias Issues specifying the appropriate transaction reasons to clarify the scenario.<br>

Data Conversion in SAP E-Recruiting.

Hi SAP E-Recruiters,
Our client is using a Legacy application for recruiting candidates where it has 5000 candidates data base (internal and external candidates' applications).
Now they are asking for movement of this whole data to the newly implementing SAP E-recruiting system. We are exploring various data conversion methods and found that BDC, LSMW will not work for E-recruiting data upload as we have every thing in BSP/Web Dynpro pages here.
We need your help in finding a solution for moving this data from legacy to SAP E-Recruiting. Pls do the needful.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Sudheer,
So far there are no SAP delivered migration methods or BAPI's available conversion of candidates/applications, as you have already specified BDC's wouldnot work. Internal candidates always can be brought over in eRecruitment with integration techniques between PA and eRecruit depending upon the landscape.
However, for external candidates custom conversion programs have to be written by making use of methods/function modules that are used in BSP/WebDynpro.
regards
Sridhar

Crystal Data Conversion Issue (Error converting data type varchar to datetime)

Hi,
I can run stored procedure without error in SQL Server using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
I can also run Crystal Report after connecting to Stored procedure without error on my desktop using my personal credentials as well as database credentials.
But when I upload the crystal report in BOBJDEV and when I run using database credentials report fails saying that "Error in File ~tmp1d1480b8e70fd90.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]" but I can run the crystal report successfully on BOBJDEV using my personal credentials.
I googled (Data Conversion Error Message) about this issue & lot of people asked to do "Verify Database" in Crystal Report. So I did that, but when I do it I am getting a error message like this:
Error converting data type varchar to datetime.
Where do you think the error might be occurring? Did anyone faced this kind of issue before? If so, how to resolve it?
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, & for stored procedure I have used SSMS 2012 )
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks & Regards.
Naveen.

hello Naveen,
since the report works fine in the cr designer / desktop, we need to figure out where you should post this question.
by bobjdev do you mean businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server? if so please post this question to the bi platform space.

Billing Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration in SAP ISU

Hi Experts,
Please let me know, in ISU implementation project, what is Billing related Legacy master & transactional data conversion/migration is done in SAP ISU system.
Thanks in advance

Pankaj,
There is no straight forward transaction to download the Configuration data and export it to a file.
However, you can use the BC set functionality to extract the IMG node with its contents.
Check the following SAP help portal link for more info on BC sets
Business Configuration Sets (BC-CUS) - SAP Library
The archive data that you are talking about; Is it master data or transaction data?
Also, what this data is related to-Financial Documents, Billing related info?
There is one standard transaction SARA through which based on the migration object you can archive the data and export it into a file in a particular location..
Hope it helps..

Data conversion for New GL - Going live during fiscal year

Hi Experts,
My client is going live on Oct 1 (fiscal year in Jan -Dec). So for data conversion we need to load P&L and BalanceSheet as of Sept 30, 2009. I need your help to resolve few open issues. (we have activated Doc Splitting with Zero Balance and Segment )
1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers.
Sorry for asking too many questions. Any help would me very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

1) When we load P&L balances - how can I assign Profit Centers to all these P&L iitems .
Each P&L account balance has to be upload with cost centre, then automatically PC will be triggered.
2) What is the procedure (best practices) to assign Profit Centers to all the Balance Sheet items since we are going live during Fiscal Year
Let client decide the profit centre for balance sheet items, since they knows which balance relates to which pc
3) When we process open items (AR, AP) in month of October how the Profit Center assignment will work?
While uploading AR,AP balances, each line item to be uploaded with profit centre, automatically in october PC assignment will work.
(My client will be using Profit /Cost center terminology first time, so we need to map all the B&S and PnL items to Profit centers)
4) What is the best way to map all the Balance Sheet GL accounts to Profit Centers
Try to identify each balance sheet gl balance to each profit centre, this will help in future reports. otherwise put in common pc
