Conversion for Field Objects (SAP Library

Conversion for Field Objects

Use

The Conversion function only applies to field objects.

The Interface Toolbox allows you to modify the export file to meet the requirements of the third-party system, as well as allowing you to transfer the data in the SAP System to the third-party system. The conversion then modifies the data.

During the conversion, the system replaces the old content (value) of the object with the new content (value).

The Gender Key field object (P0002-GESCH) has the content (value) 2, which should be replaced by the content (value) 1 during the export.

The Form of Address Key field object (P0002-ANRED) has the content (value) 1, which should be replaced by a text (for example, Dear Sir).

The names of the wage types in the SAP System (for example, /101) can be replaced by the names of the wage types used in the third-party system (for example, GROSS).

Features

The system differentiates between three conversion types for field objects:

Direct value

Table value

User exit

The Toolbox also includes additional conversion options in the file layout . You can use these options in addition to or instead of the conversion options in the interface format.
