Problem in currency and quantity field

Hi,
I have done a couple of BDC and watched that if some currency or quantity field is there and i want to run the BDC the particular currency/quantity field will not populate the value inspite of i have declared the same table field that it refers to in the screen in the internal table.
But, if i declare a character string in the internal field having same length as the screen field it will populate at run time. Why so?

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
This is a common problem, when carrying out BDC.
For example, while recording you met with the 2 fields --> MSEG-DMBTR (Curr) and MSEG-MENGE(Quantity).
Go to SE11 --> MSEG --> Search for DMBTR --> Double click on the Data Element i.e. DMBTR --> Double Click on the domain WERTZ --> You can see under the block Output Characteristics : Output Length = 16.
While declaring the TYPES Structure, make it CHAR(16).
Similarly for MENGE --> Data Element : MENGE_D --> Domain : MENGE13 --> Output Length = 17.
Make it CHAR(17).
Consider this technique as the Rule-of-Thumb while doing BDC.

Hi,
Even i have experienced the same problem many a times and use a character string as a work around to solve it.
I guess one reason for it is for the currency and quantity fields, the actual defined length and the output length are different with output length being 3 or 4 bytes greater than that of actual lenght and also the fact that these fields are always right justified. hence some bytes of the field is getting truncated which the system does not allow and discards the whole value.

Hallo Experts,
I have created a Interface with import Sturcture SLS_PRT_COM. This Sturcture have many nested Sturctures. Now I created a Table type ZEBFO with line type VBDPA. VBDPA has many currency and quantity fields such like GEWEI.

About Currency and Quantity Fields

How does the Currency and Quantity fields are set to a field in a Table, created in SE11
can you please send examples of each
Thankyou

hi,
its same like any other field.
but one difference :- the reference field is requires.
why reference field?
The reference field is used for the output, the output/input format of a currency field depends on the value of its reference field.
For example if you create a screen using the field KONV-KBETR :
the reference field is RV61A-AWEI1:
if you set RV61A-AWEI1 = 3
the value in KONV-KBETR is beeing shown with 3 decimals
So you could see 3,000 but this value is automatically stored as 30.00
if you set RV61A-AWEI1 = 2
the value in KONV-KBETR is beeing shown with 2 decimals
All this convertions are automatically made in according to the value setted in reference field.
You can see this using the statament WRITE with options CURRENCY, try this:
PARAMETERS P_KBETR LIKE KONV-KBETR.
WRITE: P_KBETR CURRENCY '3'.
WRITE: / P_KBETR CURRENCY '2'.
WRITE: / P_KBETR CURRENCY '1'.
Hope u gor the idea

Currency and quantity fields in Smartforms

Hi Experts,
How to refer currency and quantity fields , in my form i am using FAKING and NETWR fields,
in global definitions one tab is there currency and quantity fields in that in filed name column what i have to give and reference filed , PLease can u you give some examples, so that i can understand easily...
Useful answers are awarded.
Thanks

The 'Currency/Quant. Fields' tab in the Global definitions allows you to link the field containing a value to the field containing its unit of measure.
For example, my purchase order has two line items, one is for 6 eggs (which have unit of measure PC) and 2.5 kilogramms of flour (UOM is KG). When these are written on the output the eggs have no decimal places, the flour has 2 (this is defined in configuration). So;
Eggs 6 PC
Flour 2.50 KG
This happens only if I specify in the 'Currency/Quant. Fields' tab the field that holds my quantity and the reference field that hold the UOM, and specify data type QUAN. Same concept applies for currency where they have different numbers of decimal places (for example Japanese Yen is always expressed as a whole number with no decimals).

Nick

Can u pls tell what r the currency and quantity fields in detail.

hi to all can u pls teell
can u pls tell what r the currency and quantity fields in detail.
what is reference table .and reference fields .why we r giving theese reference table names while creating the currency fields .

Hi,
Currency amount fields and quantity fields are numeric fields which each have a currency or unit field assigned to them. The correct interpretation of the values in these fields depends on its currency or unit of measure. Therefore, you can decide whether you want their corresponding currency/unit of measure to be displayed before or after the field, or not at all. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the field.
2. Choose one of the options from the window on the lower left (before, No currency field/unit, or after).
3. Choose Apply.

Help On Currency and Quantity Fields:
Whenever you have to maintain fields for currencies and quantites u need to refer them to currency key and quantity key which also have to be present in the table.
If suppose you are creating a table for Employee. And suppose that fields would be like :
EMPID -
employee id
EMPNAME
employee name
DEPARTMENT --- department
SALARY -- salary ( Data Type u2013 CURR )
WEIGHT -
weight of the employee ( Data Type -- QUAN )
Now the fields SALARY AND WEIGHT fields should refer to currency and quantity keys. So you need to have two more fields like
CURRKEY --- Data Type ( Cuky )
Quantity --- Data Type ( Unit )
Now we have to attach the field Currkey to the field Salary
And the field Quantity to the field Weight
So when u create a table you can see a tab Currency / Quantity fields.
Here You can give the reference table and the reference field against the salary and weight fields.

What can be done for this.If I want to include them for my Extaction process how it can be done.
Please clarify.

Hi sapient,
you must check in the table of your view in Tab Help Value what Currency/Unit field must correspond to your quantity/value fields in view, then you muast insert these fields in your view and DataSource with inserting directly the corresponding table in the view or inserting valu via CMOD.

Regarding currency and quantity fields

i hav to fill one field with the calculated value of currency and the field of type DEC as below
wa_final_unitprice = currency field/DEC field.
how to declare that field in data dictionary as i hav to create ztable.
and i hav to fill another field as
wa_final_val = (wa_final_unitprice * quantity field)
how to declare wa_final_val field?
plz help me in this.

HI,
At table level you declare like currency only for that feild-c.
For Ex: feild-C = feild-A * feild-B.
But to get the value in the feild-c you need to create a table maintainece generator. In that you write Events. In Table control after save event (02) you need write the code like below.
feild-C = feild-A * feild-B.
to go the events, go to se11 maintain feilds and activate.
Then go to Utilities -
> Tabel Maintanence Generator
now go to Environment ---> Modification ---> Events
Many Thanks,
Raghu.

How can create a function module for currency and quantity fields

hi,
i want to create a function module with some fields.when i activated it give some errors for
netpr,menge,wemng fields(currency, quantity fields).error is it asks for reference fields.
please send me solution for it.
sreenu.

Hi Sreenu,
While creating CURRENCY/QUANTITY fields in the DataBase Table, you have to enter a REFERENCE TABLE and a REFERENCE FIELD to the field.
For that, after entering the field name and the data type in the correcponding columns, you have to place the cursor on the data type of the required field and click the CURRENCY/QUANTITY FIELDS tab. You will find two columns called REFERENCE TABLE and a REFERENCE FIELD.
you have to enter a reference table in which a currency/quantity field is used and a reference field which is a currency/quantity field in that table.
For Example, below is the table details.
FIELD DATATYPE LENGTH DEC.PLACES REF.TABLE REF.FIELD
1.SNO     CHAR 5
2.AMOUNT CURR 10     2          T001      WAERS
3.NOS     QUAN 5                 KNA1      /VSO/R_PAL_UL
Here Field 2(AMOUNT) is a CURR field whose Ref. Table is T001 and Ref. Field is WAERS and Field 3(NOS) is a QUAN field whose Ref. Table is KNA1 and Ref. Field is /VSO/R_PAL_UL.
Hope this will help you.

Runtime error in Dynamic internal table with AMOUNT and Quantity Fields..

Dear friends,
I am attempting write a dymanic Select Statement (with joins).
And the sleect query looks like this..
SELECT (LT_SEL_LIST)
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
TABLE <DYN_TABLE>
FROM (LT_FROM_LIST)
WHERE (LT_WHERE3).
Here the into table is a dynamically created internal table..
which is created by ...this
CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
 EXPORTING
 IT_FIELDCATALOG = IT_OUTPUT2[]
 IMPORTING
 EP_TABLE = DY_TABLE.
the it_output2 contains the the fieldcatlog information of dynamically given fields :-
like:-
 TABNAME
 FIELDNAME
 DATATYPE
 LENG
 INTTYPE
 ROLLNAME
 DECIMALS
 REFTABLE
 REFFIELD
i mean the internal table is constructed with reference to all the bove metadata.
Problem:- This query run fine with all the fields Except AMOUNT AND QUANTITY fields....
When the selection list contain VBAK-NETWR or MSEG-MENGE..It throws a runtime error.
"The data read during a SLECT access couldnt be inserted into the target field,either conversion is not supported for
the target field's type or the target field is too short."
after this I even tried to construct the dynamic table with CFILEDNAME and QFIELDNAME in the Fieldcatalog.
so now my fieldcatlog looks like this:---
LOOP AT IT_DD03L..
IF IT_DD03L-DATATYPE = 'CURR'.
 TABLEFIELD-CFIELDNAME = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME .
 ENDIF.
 IF IT_FIELDCAT3-DATATYPE = 'QUAN'.
 TABLEFIELD-QFIELDNAME = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME .
ENDIF.
 TABLEFIELD-TABNAME = IT_DD03L-TABNAME.
 TABLEFIELD-FIELDNAME = IT_DD03L-FIELDNAME.
 TABLEFIELD-DATATYPE = IT_DD03L-DATATYPE.
 TABLEFIELD-INTLEN = IT_DD03L-LENG.
 TABLEFIELD-INTTYPE = IT_DD03L-INTTYPE .
 TABLEFIELD-ROLLNAME = IT_DD03L-ROLLNAME.
 TABLEFIELD-DECIMALS = IT_DD03L-DECIMALS.
 TABLEFIELD-REF_TABLE = IT_DD03L-REFTABLE.
 TABLEFIELD-REF_FIELD = IT_DD03L-REFFIELD.
APPEND TABLEFIELD.
CLEAR TABLEFIELD.
ENDLOOP.
Note:- this is a test code so ignore performance issues...
Please help me with some code ...to avoid the Runtime erorr.
Thanks,
jeevan.

Hi Jeevan,
Why are moving only few fields from DD03L table to your field catalog? Why don't you use move-corresponding? The following code works for me in ECC6.0.
data: it_dd03l type table of dd03l initial size 0,
 ls_dd03l type dd03l,
 lt_fldcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat,
 ls_fldcat TYPE lvc_s_fcat,
 ls_where(72) TYPE c,
 lt_where LIKE TABLE OF ls_where,
 lt_fld LIKE TABLE OF ls_where,
 lt_data_dy TYPE REF TO data.
field-symbols: <ft_data> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
select * into table it_dd03l from dd03l
 where tabname = 'VBAK'
 and ( fieldname = 'VBELN' or fieldname = 'NETWR' ).
check sy-subrc eq 0.
loop at it_dd03l into ls_dd03l.
move-corresponding ls_dd03l to ls_fldcat.
append ls_fldcat to lt_fldcat.
move ls_dd03l-fieldname to ls_where.
append ls_where to lt_fld.
if ls_dd03l-fieldname = 'VBELN'.
 clear ls_where.
 concatenate ls_dd03l-fieldname ' <> ''''' into ls_where.
 append ls_where to lt_where.
endif.
endloop.
check not lt_fldcat is initial.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
 EXPORTING
 it_fieldcatalog = lt_fldcat
 IMPORTING
 ep_table = lt_data_dy
 EXCEPTIONS
 generate_subpool_dir_full = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 RAISE no_configuration_data.
 ENDIF.
 ASSIGN lt_data_dy->* TO <ft_data>.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
select (lt_fld) from VBAK into corresponding fields of table
 <ft_data>
 where (lt_where).
Thanks
