Alpha conversion

Question: I got error while loading transaction data in ODS
RSAR 196:Infoobject does not contain alpha-confirming value.

Steps
Infoobject XYZ-CHAR(6)
1)Infoobject -XYZ(Alpha routine) loaded alone manually got loaded with Alpha conversion.
2)Transaction data containing Infoobject XYZ loaded gave error
RSAR 196:Infoobject does not contain alpha-confirming value.
3)when we change data in PSA from 1 to 000001 and load in ODS loads proper

In PSA, data is coming as 1 instead of 000001 and hence from PSA to ODS gives error
4)we checked box for Alpha conversion in Transfer structure(OPTIONAL CONVERSION ROUTINE) for infoobject -XYZ and then Data loaded properly.

any clues as why it didnt load without checking that check box in Transfer structure called (OPTIONAL CONVERSION ROUTINE)

Note- 651114 refers same problem but not soln for our patch level as ours is 3.1C SP- 16

Appreciate ur Help

Answer:
Where is the data coming from? R/3?

I had a situation here after our upgrade from 2.1c to 3.1 Content where we got the same message on data coming from R/3 that was resolved by checking that box in the transfer rules to use the conversion routine.

I am sure I won't say this the right way but the way I understand it even if alpha conversion is checked for an InfoObject, if the data is coming from R/3, it is "expected" to be in the alpha converted format, and when it is not you get the error you received. Checking that box in the transfer rules applies the conversion routine and everything is OK.

Answer:
Hi

I have experienced this problem previously.
Try ticking the “Optional Conversion” check box on the transfer rules (on source system).

Hope it works.

Answer:
Yes,It works for sure
I checked myself ,yestesday itself.
