WBSEL Conversion Routine

The project system in the ERP system offers extensive options for editing the external presentation of the project and WBS elements (project coding, editing mask). These features are included in the ERP conversion routine. This comprehensive logic cannot be mapped in the BW system. For this reason, characteristic 0WBS_ELM_EX exists in the attributes of InfoObject 0WBS_ELEMT and the external description is stored there. As the external description is entered on the screen, conversion routine 'CONVERSION_EXIT_WBSEL_INPUT' reads the corresponding internal description 0WBS_ELEMT and uses this for internal processing.

If no master data has been loaded into the BW system (master data generated by uploading transaction data), the internal description has to be input in order to execute a query.

Internal format: 0WBS_ELEMT: 'A0001-1'

External format: 0WBS_ELM_EX: 'A / 0001-1'
