Disble conversion routine

Former Member — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:47:02 GMT

Hello!

How we can disable a conversion routine of a standard domain. In our case, we want disable de conversion routine (ALPHA) of the domain SAKNR.

Thanks

Are you wishing Disble conversion routine of SAKNR for whole purpose in SAP? or some only for specific report or transaction?

Hi,

If it is for whole system then u can get the access key from BASIS and delete the routine from the domain.

But before doing this check the where used list of this domain and make sure that this change should not cause any problems. This is very important when ur u r making changes to any standard object.

Thanks,

Vinod,

hi LM,

I think the solution would be to remove the conversion rume on the domain level (SE11 ==> Domain ==> SAKNR) + changing your already existing data + lots of testing, but this would mean changing the standard, so my answer is DON'T DO IT!

On the other hand I see no reason to go this way (however I have seen your other threads regarding this). What is the benefit of this?

hope this helps

oops!!

No No

as Domain is very low level entity.so DOMAIN level changes is never suggested.

it may impect on your other object also where SAKNR is used so dont do this.

if you want see changes only some one two object than i suggest you to use some custom domain which do not have ALPHA conversion.

Hello Eric!

We want that accounts could be presented in 5 or 8 digits.

If we use the definition of SKNAR, for instance we can not differentiate 000060000 and 60000. For us these are different accounts. And without this conversion routine it will be possible.

Thanks

Use conversion_exit_alpha_ouput . May this will delete the leading the zeros.

> We want that accounts could be presented in 5 or 8 digits.

this can achieved perfectly with the standard functionality (i. e. with the conversion exits). What is the problem now.

 If we use the definition of SKNAR, for instance we can not differentiate 000060000 and 60000. For us these are different accounts. And without this conversion routine it will be possible.

I can't see any logic in that 0000600000 and 60000 would be different accounts! (On the other hand it has nothing to do with 5 and 8 digits you mentioned before.)

Can you describe the whole scenario? What is the exact need of the business? (Forget about conversion routines and SAP for a while, just repeat what the accountants told you

Hello!

Well... for us left zeros are important. We work in public administration and left zeros are very important and have meaning.

Moreover, we want alphabetic order. That is to say that if we have these accounts: 50000, 60000 and 500000001 the order would be:

50000

50000001

60000

We also want that 50000 and 500000001 belong to the same Account group.

Thanks a lot.

is it a legal requirement? if yes, there should be a SAP solution for this...

 Moreover, we want alphabetic order. That is to say that if we have these accounts: 50000, 60000 and 500000001 the order would be:
> 50000
> 50000001
> 60000

What about putting an 'A' in front of each G/L account (50000 ==> A50000)?

advantage:

-no conversion

-you could have A050000 and A0050000 (pls, not the number of zeros between 'A' and '5')

disadvantage:

-you loose one digit (still you have nine...)

-might look ugly

About the sorting: I am not sure, how will it be sorted...

 We also want that 50000 and 500000001 belong to the same Account group.

With or Without converion - I am afraid this is impossible...

Scenario:

Creating G/L account in FS00, for example number 0123456789.

Problems:

In database it's stored 0123456789, but in screen is 1234556789.

At FB01 we can put 0* and hit F4, and it works. In screen will be 123456789.

Objective:

Account 0* should ALWAYS be showed as 0123456789 (for example).

This is legal.

Thanks in advance,
