Documentation

Definition

In field allocation this is an interface service that allocates the allocated key rather than the original value, on the basis of existing object links.

Use

Dependencies

Key conversion can only work correctly in a 1:1 ratio within a relationship type. If key conversion cannot be performed, processing of the tasks is canceled and the following task status is set:

Status    Reason

2    No objects to be allocated exist.

3    Several objects to be allocated exist.

Example

You want to read the data of an SAP object. You have already defined a task for execution in the SAP System. This task contains the methods for reading the data. When you call up the task from the external system, the key of the object requesting data is transferred and is made available as standard.

Now define a field allocation from the key of the object requesting data, to the key of the object to be read, and activate the key conversion. The system determines the object allocated to the requesting object, and uses the key to call up the method.
