To prefix an amount with a negative sign

Hi All,
I want to prefix a positive amount with a negative sign...for display...
How will I be able to do that ?
Regards,

amount = -1 * amount.
if it does not work then you might need to change the type of amount field.
Thanks,

PE51 - Deduction Wage Type amount showing with a negative "-" sign

Dear All,
We have pay slip configured for the client in PE51 - HR Foms Editor.
Here, we have added the deduction wage types in Window tab and Cumulations tab.
However, when we generate the pay slip, the custom wage types which are defined in deductions show up the amount with a negative " - " sign.
Please advise how this negative sign can be removed.
Please note that in Cumulations tab, under deductions, the MS value against all the deductions wage type is " +"

ORA-06502 encountered due to negative sign

Problem:
I encountered the error in my sql statement with the message:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 144
I already found the problem:
v_str:= lpad(nvl(to_char((to_number(display_r.CO_AMOUNT)/100),'999,999,999.99'),' '),'15',' ');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_str);Because the value of CO_AMOUNT has negative sign as: 00000000-381250
As such, I would like to seek help in resolving the problem I encountered. Is there a way to still display the output with the negative sign?
Thanks in advance.

The negative sign is not the problem, it's the fact that it's in the middle of the string. SQL expects the sign to be at the beginning (or end) of a number.
This is one of the side effects of using strings to hold numeric data. There are a number of reasons why you might have this behaviour, it really depends on what your app does and how it populates the CO_AMOUNT variable.
Anyway, you can solve this specific problem with a simple LTRIM:
SQL> SELECT to_number('00000000-381250') FROM dual
2 /
SELECT to_number('00000000-381250') FROM dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
SQL> SELECT to_number(ltrim('00000000-381250', '0')) FROM dual
2 /
TO_NUMBER(LTRIM('00000000-381250','0'))
-381250

Check info "Amount paid is showning with negative sign"

Hi ppl,
After the RFFOUS_C program is run and after the check generated, If i go and check the "check inforamtion" in PAYR table. It is showing the paid amount as 2000.00-
The amount is shown with a 'minus' sign at the end.

The Amount with negative sign is pulled out from the Payment document against the GL account. This means that the funds are going out or its an outgoing payment.

Negative sign mapping handling for amount field

hi Experts,
From SAP ecc to PI we are receiving - negative sign after the amount value 1000 - . can you please suggest the suitable graphical mapping or UDF whenever amount value in -ve should give the ouput result as -1000. .
Regards,
Krushi.

Hi Krushi - I don't see any complexity in it..
Use graphical function "endswith" to check if the amount has "-"
If yes then use replace function to replace "-" and then again conact it with "-"
amount                              then amount->replacevlaue "-"-> concat + "-",amount
          endswith          if
-                                        else amount
For graphical function look at the below blog-

Negative sign to change to prefix

dear gurus
please let me know how to change the negative sign to prefix in alv report. ( i.e transcode GRR2=>formating =>report layout => language dependent => debit/credit sign [+/-] ).
Regards
Vijayendran S

hi,
You can use <b>edit_mask</b> to serve your purpose.
You can specify the formatting template as follows:
'V'only with fields of type P or I:
output of leading sign
wa_fieldcat-edit_mask = 'V______'.
Note:
1)If the leading sign is to be output with a field of type P or I, you must specify the wildcard character V at the desired place. If this character does not appear in the template, no leading sign will be output if the value of f is negative.
2)When formatting a field of type P with decimal places, the value is not aligned with a character in the template representing the decimal point (either a period or a comma). If you want to have this character in the output, you must insert it in the correct position in the template and define the formatting from the right. If there is no character for the decimal point in the template, no such character is output.

Properly displaying currency amounts (negative sign) via WRITE statement

Dear forumers,
Using the WRITE statement, how may I properly display a currency amount that has a negative value?
In my program, the variable, V_AMOUNT to be displayed is originally of the type "WERTV12".
Using the WRITE statement for this, nothing gets displayed in the screen (blank only).
So, I assigned V_AMOUNT to another variable of the type "P DECIMALS 2", V_AMT.
Using the WRITE statement for this, the amount is displayed in the screen.
But, if the amount has a negative value, the negative sign is not displayed there.
I.e. If V_AMT has the value '500.00-', only '500.00' is displayed in the screen.
Finally, I changed the type of V_AMT as type string.
This works - any amounts with negative sign is displayed in the screen properly.
But, with this approach, I'm unable to "customize" the display of amounts according to currency, like this:-
DATA int TYPE i VALUE 12345678.
WRITE int CURRENCY 'EUR'.
The output of the WRITE statement is "123456,78".
Is there a better way to achieve this?

SAP display amounts/quantities as positive numbers with another field that denotes whether positive or negative. You could change the value to a character field and put the negative where you need it (or put an additional field next to the amount with the sign)... but using a character field probably would negate the currency display, too....

Printing value fields with negative sign??

Hello Experts,
I have developed a interface, which writes the invoice data to application server/unix, this is a notepad. My specifications are as below,
MWSK1(2)   TaxCode                         65     2     KONV-MWSK1
KWERT(13) Condition Value                  67     13   KONV-KWERT
KSTEU(1) Condition Control                80     1     KONV-KSTE
I have to print KWERT value from 67th position until 13 positions, meaning until 80 positions, fine. My code is as below,
MOVE: wa_invoice_price-mwsk1 TO unix_file+64(2).
WRITE: wa_invoice_price-kwert    TO unix_file+66(13) RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
MOVE: wa_invoice_price-ksteu    TO unix_file+79(1),
So, it printing like below (pls. note 0.04 minus value in right bottom corner)
P26701ZCG620101006C          100.00         0.00USD 1    UGL            0.00A A 9
P60001ZF3520101006C          100.00         0.00USD 1    UGLG          0.04-H B 9
But, business want to have like below (pls. note the DIFFERENCE for 0.04 minus value in right bottom corner),
P26701ZCG620101006C         100.00        0.00USD 1    UGL               0.00   A A 9
P60001ZF3520101006C         100.00         0.00USD 1    UGLG             0.04 - H B 9
meaning, the 13th position should be negative sign (if at all any value does have a negative sign, else its normal)....so, the negative sign should sit on 13th postion. As am using WRITE statement with RIGHT JUSTIFIED am facing thisissue!! as u know we can not send a 'P' type value to unix/apps server, pls. let me know how to get it done?
Thank you

why can't the user live with a leading sign, like '-   0.04'? If possible, do
shift <fieldname> circular up to '-'.
Or, if value is less than zero, set another variable to '-', else set to space, and multiply value with '-1', like:
if <field> < 0.
   lv_sign = '-'.                " neagtive value
<field> = <field> * '-1'. "reverse the sign
else.
lv_sign = space.          "positive value
endif.
then, adjust your field length and insert a sign column or simply add a column for the sign....

The option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign" was not activated.

I've encountered with a huge problem after load opening balance.
I forgot to tick the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign"
It makes my client's Chart of Account uncommon such as credit balance in Cash Account, AR .....
However, I've search the sap note to solve it as follow:
Description of the bug::
When creating the company in the system the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign' was not activated.
Once transactions were created in the system the functionality can not be changed.
Limits of the query:
After running the update query, please restart SBO first and then run the restore 'GL account and bp balances';
otherwise, the cashed value of SBO will not be updated and restore function may not take effect.
1. Meaning of restart SBO => restart SBO Service Manager right?
2. Please help me please to find "The restore G/L account and bp balances" form. Where is it?;
Thank you

Hi,
I would think that you are following the PEQ instructions for note 970813, correct?
If this is the case and you are using 2007 then you will find the restorev in the top menu; Help -> Support Desk -> Restore. You will find the functions here. Please note that this should only be used on direct instruction from support or a note like in this case. A backup should also be taken before running restore.

How to display the number with negative sign in the front in ALV.

most important, this ALV is also can totalize.
can someone give me some suggestion?
thanks
jisuwen

i hope you want a negative sign before a char but holding some number. then that case
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-char '-' into itab-char.
modify itab.
endloop.
and you can display in ALV with negative sign...
Totalling you need to Specify
DO_SUM = 'X' while populating fieldcatalog...
If subtotals then you have to Build sort table and based on that you can proceed./.
examples are there you can find inn SLIS package..
