Use

Application component: LO

Transaction: AUT10

If an application saves values in internal formats, these cannot be recognized by the generic evaluation tool AUT10. AUT10 formats the tools as they are saved in the database.

You use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BADI_AUT_CONV to convert the values from an internal format to an external format.

The Business Add-In is called in transaction AUT10. You can execute it both in the overview and in the detail view for the table log.

Requirements

Standard settings

  • The Business Add-In is not active in the standard set up.
  • There is no default coding for the Business Add-In.
  • The Business Add-In is filter-dependent and has filter type TABNAME.

Activities

To activate the Business Add-In, you must create an active implementation. To do this, choose the following path in the SAP Menu: Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementation

For more information about this procedure, see the SAP Library under

  • Basis Components -> ABAP Workbench -> Changing the SAP Standard -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementing Business Add-Ins.

If you want to use the filter functions of the Business Add-In, enter the desired filter specifications for the implementation.

Example

One example for the use of this Business Add-In is for equipment, where the unique key is converted to an internal format before it is saved, and the converted back to the external format before it is displayed.

Characteristic values are another example. These are saved internally in floating point number format. They are converted to the relevant format before being displayed.
