Date Format in LSMW

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using Direct Input method to post documents for FB01.

The date fields in header BUDAT and BLDAT has format yyyymmdd

But FB01 transactions expects date field to be in format mm/dd/yyyy.

I'm not able to assign directly any date of format mm/dd/yyyy to these fields in field mapping.

Can you pls help me in this?

Thanks

Hi,

In SAP all date fieldsa re stored in YYYYMMDD format only

You can assign the same date to that field or assign SY-DATUM to that field

You can convert the format using EDIT MASK

or split the date,month and year and concatenate and can use

Reward points if useful

thanks
