ALE Conversion Routine

Former Member — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:39:14 GMT

Hello Experts,

I need some help with an ALE conversion. The ALE conversion routine (available in BD79), for eg CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT where xxxxx is for eg BUKRS; takes this BUKRS field as input and we can modify that and place it back as Output.

Could someone tell me if we can give any other field as input to this conversion routine. I need to make the value of this BUKRS field as a constant value when Value of BUKRS (company code) = value of KOKRS (controlling area).

I greatly appreciate your inputs.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mridula,

Conversion routines are based on the data element.

So you can't use the conversion exit of one data element for another data element.

Could anyone pls. any other option to fit my requirement ? I can always go in for BADI implementation; I just want to look out for more options on the same.

Hi Mridula,

IF you have BADI available and it suits your requirement then it is better idea to use the same.
