Setting Up a Conversion Plan

Access the Work with Currency Conversion Plans form.

To set up a conversion plan:

  1. Click Add on the Work with Currency Conversion Plans form.

  2. On the Maintain Currency Conversion Plans form, complete these fields:

    • Plan Name

      Enter the plan name for the conversion. Use the same plan name that you entered when you set up constants for the conversion plan. Do not leave this field blank. If you do, the system enters the default plan name (ZJDE), which appears when you return to the Work with Currency Conversion Plans form.

    • Description

      Type a meaningful description in this field, especially if you set up multiple conversion plans. This is a 30-character field.

    • Plan Status

      Enter 10 (In Planning) in this field. This field identifies the stage of a plan; 10 is the first stage.

  3. Click OK and the system:

    • Creates a plan master in the Installation Plan Master Table (F9840).

    • Creates an environment record in the Environment Plan Detail Table (F98403).

    • Loads all type 8 programs from the F9843 table to the Table Conversion Scheduler table (F98405).

      This loads all programs for the base currency conversion into the plan.

  4. On the Work with Currency Conversion Plans form, select the plan and then select Conversion Planner from the Row menu to review the conversion programs in the plan:

  5. On the Euro Conversion Planner form:

    The New Environment and Previous Environment fields contain the same name. This is because you run the conversion and convert the data in the same environment.

    The Conversion Sequence field begins at 101 for the first conversion program and is numbered sequentially through the last conversion program.

    The Dependency Sequence field contains 0 (zero) for all conversion programs except:

    • R8951911E, which contains 119. (119 is the conversion sequence for R890911E.) R8951911E depends on the successful completion of R890911E; that is, R890911E must run before R8951911E.

    • R8941181E, which contains 157. (157 is the conversion sequence for R894201E.) R8941181E depends on the successful completion of R894201E; that is, R894201E must run before R8941181E.

    • R894118E, which contains 215. (215 is the conversion sequence for R8941181E.) R894118E depends on the successful completion of R8941181E; that is, R8941181E must run before R894118E.

  6. Refer to the list of systems that you use.

    Based on the list, determine which systems you do not use. To improve processing time, you should remove conversion programs for any systems that do not apply to the plan, as described in the next step.

  7. Select the record that corresponds to a program that you do not use and select Delete on the Table Conversion Planner form.

  8. Select Auto Load from the Form menu if you inadvertently deleted a program.

    The system reloads all type 8 (conversion) programs into the plan and resets the plan status to 10 (In Planning).

  9. Click Save.

  10. Click Cancel when you are satisfied with the contents of the plan.
