Assigning a MOVE

Prerequisites

A source field must have been assigned to the SAP field.

Context

You use the Move rule to specify that the ABAP move command is used to transfer the data. This has the following results for source fields that do not have the type C or N:

Data Transfer with MOVE

Packed field	Unpack to target field	WRITE...TO...
Date field	Dialog box where you choose a format: Internal format User format ...	for example, 01.10.1998 YYYYMMDD
Amount field	Batch Input / Direct Input: The amount is formatted according to the settings in the user master data.
BAPIs, IDocs: The amount stays in the internal format.

The system always defaults a MOVE processing when you assign a source field to an SAP field.

Procedure

From the list of steps, choose Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules. A dialog box is displayed.
Position the cursor on the appropriate field.
Choose MOVE. The processing type is displayed. Alternatively, you can also choose Insert Rule and set the indicator for Move.

Note

If, in the third step, you choose the indicator for not initial in addition to the indicator for Move, the data will only be transferred in case if the source field does not contain the initial value.
