Example: Replacing a Constant Generically 

Purpose

You want to replace the selected values of the KOSTL field object (cost center) with new values during the data export.

Process flow

Perform the conversion of direct values in two steps:

  1. Enter the following values in the KOSTL (old) and KOSTL (new) fields in the Constant for Cost Center dialog box.
    2.

    Field: KOSTL (old)

    Field: KOSTL (new)

    1111

    Z1111

    2222

    Z222

    *

    ZZZZ

  2. When the Interface Toolbox exports data, selected values for the Cost Center (KOSTL) field are contained in the input data stream records. The system replaces these selected input values for the Old cost center (KOSTL (old)) field by the values you have entered in the New cost center (KOSTL (new)) field.
