Hi,
I am using MS Word Web Service interface to create contract documents. However, my date and currency fields show in a strange format. Date is in"YYYY-MM-DD" format, while currencies always have "." as decimal separator (probably technical values). My user settings are "DD.MM.YYYY" for dates and "n.nnn,dd" for decimal numbers.
My workaround is to create a Z structure for WS interface with char fields and then do conversion through CRM_WST_RT_BADI->OUTBOUND_PROCESSING method. This works, but requires a lot of custom development.
Is there a way to "tell" the interface to use correct formats in MS Word without doing it all manually through custom fields?
Thanks!

You can format numbers and dates by inseting 2 keywords (DATE and NUM) between the XML tags of desired field.

Hi, Robert,
I only know how to work with the mentioned BADI, which works with structure parameters with fields referencing SAP dictionary data elements. In my case, date fields are of type DATS 8, which leaves no option for tags or any other formatting.
How can I modify the XML directly?
An example would be most helpful.
Thanks!

Oh, indeed!
We might be closer than you think - I live close to Croatian-Slovenian border so we might pop out for a drink! But we can discuss this out of forum...
Now work again:
Is there any documentation on possible formatting keywords? I suppose it's possible to set up decimal places, custom date formats etc.
Cheers,
Igor
I don't know for any document, but you can read a bit more about word template functionality on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/e3/21a005137e4daa9a36149923142235/frameset.htm.
Thanks, Robert!
Unfortunately, at the SAP help link that you have provided there is no mention of any more formatting options. DATE works well, but in my case NUM is useless because it shows only integers. It even rounds decimals to integers, which noone asked for. Is there a cure to this?
KR,
Igor
