Material Number Conversion

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is the function module that is used to convert the material interanl number to the material name?

i.e from ex: 20000000000010 to MC78-62:92802.

And before doing this is there requisite?

Thanks in advance.

If i understood your question right than you may try with table MAKT field MAKT-MAKTX

Hi SM,

Use the MAKT table.

Just inout the MATNR and get MAKTX you want with spcecification of desired language in SPRAS.

Hi,

When i use the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT and enter the material name i.e say MC78-62:92802 it gives me the internal material number i.e 20000000000000010.

What i need is when i give this internal number 20000000000000010 i wnat to retrieve the name i.e MC78-62:92802.

How is that possible? The maktx field would give the material description.

Material Number = MATNR

Material Name = MAKTX

Hi ,

this is conversion exit which would be usedful to oversome the data conflict between two different data types but not for what you have expected.

for material conversion go to se37 and find out by providing descr as in * * ,you ll get the function module .

Hi SM,

Is the issue fixed?

Please let us know....

[Former Member]

Hi Krishna,

Yes this is fixed and working. I had replied earlier for this and marked it as answered. (Sorry, but I didn't mention that this is fixed).

The function module CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT is the one.

Thanks again.

For information, note that this can also be achieved by (it's more easy to remember, and applies to any fields) :

DATA l_matnr TYPE mara-matnr.
DATA l_text TYPE c LENGTH 30.
WRITE l_matnr TO l_text.

WRITE implicitly calls the conversion exit (output) based on the domain conversion routine of mara-matnr data element.
