You have recorded the relevant transaction for the data transfer using the transaction recorder.

  2. You can then create the conversion proposal by choosing Conversion Proposal -> Create.
  3. Enter a description for the conversion proposal.

The Recording dialog box appears.

  1. Choose the recording that you want to compare with the target structure of the relevant data transfer program, BAPI, or function module.

Result

The conversion assistant compares the recording with the chosen target structure.

The conversion assistant creates a conversion proposal. The conversion proposal represents the field assignments in a hierarchical tree structure. The module pool name of the transaction, the screen number, and the screen field are displayed. The fields of the target structure that were determined by the conversion assistant are displayed directly beneath this. The other columns (short description of field, short description of field structure, and the associated data element of the field) contain more information about the transaction fields and the target structure.

The following scenarios can occur when the target fields are determined:

  1. No target field determined
  2. One target field determined
  3. More than one target field determined

The following example shows part of the conversion proposal for customers.
