Special conversion routine ALE

Former Member — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:36:16 GMT

Hi everyone

I am working on cost centers ALEs and my requirement is to do some additional coding in the conversion rule definition BD79.

When you go to BD79 and in the tab convert sender field, there is an option of 'special conversion routine'. Can anyone suggest how that we can create a routine of our own .. so that I can do my coding there..

Also, pls. let me know if any is any other way to give additional coding in BD79.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards,

Mridula

Hi Mridula..

There may not be an Option to write code:

But these are the steps to implement Conversion rules in ALE.

To Create Conversion Routines in ALE:

Goto Tcode SALE:

Menu Path

MODELLING AND IMPLEMENTING BUSINESS PROCESSES -> CONVERTING DATA BETWEEN SENDER AND RECEIVER ->

1. Create Rule : Here you create a New Conversion Rule and Enter the Segment Name for which the conversion has to apply.

2. Maintain Rule (Tcode BD79) - here you specify the Sender field Value or Constant etc.

3. Assign the Rule to Message type

Now it will work for this Message type

thanks for your reply. These are the steps i usually follow also for assigning and defining the conversion rules for a particular message type; however we have some options if you look in BD79 under 'convert sender fields' like adding 'special conversion routine'.

I was wondering if anyone has used them before coz we might be able to do some coding in those routines. Also if any one knows any user exits or other enhancements in which I could do my additional coding, it would be great !

I appreciate all you answers and help !

Thanks
