Definition

Used for converting the mapping result of a source value from an external format to SAP's internal format.

Use

If you select this indicator and the target field has a conversion exit, then the conversion exit is applied to the result from the mapping of a source value. However, after mapping, the value needs to be in a valid external format of the target field.

If you do not select the indicator, then the value after mapping must already be in the correct internal format of the target field.

Therefore, do not select the indicator If mapping returns the value in the internal format. In contrast, you must select the indicator If mapping does not return the value in the internal format.

Dependencies

Whether you select this indicator depends on two things: the definition of the mapping rule and whether the value of the source field is converted for output. When the mapping rule is inverted to dynamically determine the source selection, this indicator controls whether the execution parameters are converted for output.

Example

In the source data basis you use the Fiscal Year/Period field. You use two mapping rules to transfer this field to the two separation fields Fiscal Year and Period. For target field Fiscal Year you use the rule Move Fiscal Year/Period(4); and for target field Period you use the rule Move Fiscal Year/Period+4(3). Then you deactivate the output conversion of the source value.

The source value of 2010 results in the fiscal year 2010 and period 006. The value 006 for the period already reflects the internal format for the period. Since period 006 also reflects a valid external format, you can either select or deselect the indicator for input conversion. However, for the period it is typically necessary to also invert the execution parameters to determine the source selection. But an inversion is possible only if you do not select the indicator for input conversion. If you select the indicator, Period 006 is converted to 6, which then produces the value 20106 for Fiscal Year/Period. If you deselect the indicator, period 006 is not converted, which then produces the the correct value 2010006.
