There are ISO codes for country keys, currency keys, units of measure and shipping instructions. According to SAP design guidelines, you should use ISO codes for an IDoc if they are available. When you set up the IDoc, the SAP codes have to be replaced by ISO codes. To do this, you can use these function modules:
Function modules for converting SAP codes
Domain |
Function Module |
Currency keys |
currency_code_sap_to_iso |
Country keys |
country_code_sap-to_iso |
Units of measure |
unit_of_measure_sap_to_iso |
Shipping instructions |
sap_to_iso_package_type_code |
We recommend that you encapsulate the code in a <Segment type>_codes_sap_to_iso
subroutine.
