CIF transfer master data cannot display Chinese description

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am using CFM1 and CFM2 to transfer master data such as: material master , Customer, Vendor) from ERP(ECC 6.0 into EWM7.0.

In ERP, these master data has Description in Chinese, but after transfer into EWM, these Chinese characters all display in '#####'.

Who can advise how to transfer Chinese characters from ERP into EWM via CIF?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Julia,

Can you confirm if both ECC and EWM are Unicode system ?

You can check this in System -> Status -> Unicode System..

You are getting junk characters in EWM because it is not able to decode the Chinese character set sent from ECC.

Thanks, Ajay!

I checked both ECC and EWM, Unicode all are activated, but the EWM still cannot correctly display Chinese character set sent from ECC.

Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Hi Julia,

I am glad that both the systems are Unicode enabled. Can you also confirm if the communication type with target system is also set as Unicode. ( Please refer to the screen shot below ) This can be found in the RFC connection configuration (SM59).

The above setting in the character conversion also explains why you are getting # in case of error in character conversion.

If your characters are entered in single code page, system is Unicode enabled and you have communication type with the target system is Unicode I don't know any reason why it should not work.

Hi Ajay,

Thank you very much!

I checked communication type in my EWM system in the RFC connection configuration SM59 according to your guide, it is Non-Unicode, this is why the MD transfer description with Junk Characters in Chinese.

After I set the communication type into Unicode, now Chinese characters all are correctly displaying in EWM system. So beautiful ^_^

Once again, thanks for your great help!

Cheers,
