check Quantity input

Former Member — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:06:08 GMT

Hi,

I'm developing a program which uploads data from a text file (.csv) and creates sales orders.

The user inputs material quantity in a format according to his user profile settings. (decimal point might be , or .)

Now I need to check whether the value input is according to the profile settings, if not I include this record in error log.

If value input is in correct format, I need to convert the value entered to SAP internal format (eg: 34,563 to 34.563) before passing it to bapi.

I used function module CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK, but it works for nummbers with upto 2 decimal places. But quatity has 3 decimal places.

Please guide me.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi,

You probably reading text file into an internal table (say it_data).

All filed of you internal table should be of type char.

And before uploading it to BAPI or BDC. You should change format according to user profile settings.

Write it_data-mat_qty to lv_mat_qty.

Then this variable lv_mat_qty will have decimal point as per user profile settings.

the FM: CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK works for checking quantity input format also. Don't get confused with decimal format of rate and quantity as they are not same
