Decimal notation in IDoc

Former Member — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 15:10:16 GMT

What is controlling the decimal notation for qty or number field in the IDoc?

Our SAP installation in Europe, generates IDocs with Qty or number field having comma in it, not decimal point (period). How do we change this value always to be with decimal point, not using the thousands delimiter?

Thansk,

Sara

Hi Sara,

I think your problem will be solved if the user default settings were changed.

Please go through System->User Profile->User Defaults and then change the Decimal notation to 'Period'.

Please reward if this solution helps you.

hI..,

move that quantity or amount field into a character type field of sufficient length..!!

now use the translate statement !!..

TRANSLATE W_CHAR USING ',.'.

Hi Srinivas,

Are you sure that by changing the user profile setting will affect the IDoc? I thought that user profile settings are for localizing and displaying the GUI fields correctly.

I tried changing the user profile settings, but effect on IDoc.

Any more clues?

Thanks,

Sara

Hi Ramesh,

We don't want to write any custom code in the IDoc generation. We are just generating standard IDocs here.

Thanks,

Sara

Hi Srinivas,

I meant "no effect" on the IDoc, even after changing the user profile settings.

Thanks,

Sara
