Transaction VICC

[Former Member]

Hi.

I have come across a Transaction -

---

> VICC - Convert format currency field.

I would like to know the applicability of this transaction with respect to any module (SD, MM, PP.....).

I tried entering a few values, but nothing seem to work.

I always get an ERROR - "Place the cursor at the right position".

If any one has some knowledge about the functionality of this transaction would be very usefull.

I respect your inputs.

Good Luck & Regards.

Hi Raymond.

Thank you for your quick response and report name.

The fields on selection screen are from table VFKP.

But, I when I enter the values of P_WAERS, INV_VAL, TAX_VAL.

I get an Message "Place Cursor on selection screen".

What is the possible cause of this message and is anything missing.

Waiting for response.

Good Luck & Regards.

Hi,

[Note 178371|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/178371] describes a problem with message "Place Cursor on selection screen" for program RSDBRUNT, but it does not fix the problem everywhere. Transaction VICC is not addressed by any SAP Note because VICC is not intended to be used as a stand-alone transaction. Is there a specific reason that you want to use VICC, or was your question mainly out of curiosity? In general, I'd say this transaction is pretty useless to SAP customers.

Hi James.

Thank you for your support and beneficial information.

Generaly, we do come across several requirements related to currency conversions.

James, I want your opinion.

As what must be the best choice for converting a particular currency requirement.

A Transaction or a BAPI or any ABAP code.

I deeply value your suggestion.

Good Luck & Regards.

Hi,

The program for transaction VICC, RV54IVCC, is certainly unusual. I don't think this transaction is intended to be used directly. The code really doesn't seem to do much on its own. However, the transaction is called in function module 'SD_CONVERT_CURRENCY_FORMAT' as part of a BDC/Call Transaction process. This f.m contains an odd piece of logic to (according to the comments within the f.m.), "Use check and format conversion routines of screens to convert from external to internal format." The 'SD_CONVERT_CURRENCY_FORMAT' function module is only used in program RV54FRSL "Shipment Costs List: Select and Display Objects" within form input_convert.
