Hi Rajesh .

For HCM process & forms you can create Custom Backend service that is nothing but badi only .

There you can write the code to convert number into words using function module spell_amount .

Whenever user press check & send button custom Backend service will get trigger or you can trigger custom backend service through java code also .

Try this it will defiantly work .

Thanks & Regards

Hi Rajesh,

Apart from the standard services given by SAP you can create your own custom services where u can write your own custom code to achieve the intended functionality.

This will help: please have a look

Here you will find steps to create your custom back end service.

Hi Rajesh .

For custom back end service you can refer this link .

http://scn.sap.com/community/interactive-forms-by-adobe/blog/2011/08/24/hcm-processes-forms-validati...

In the DO_OPERATIONS method you have to read the value of loan amount convert that number into words and display it on the form .

Hope this helps.

Thanks & regards .

Answers above are correct. You could create an event to do it within the "edit" step or simply have it handled as a "check" (do_operations) service on the "check and send" step.

Create a custom "Generic Service" (aka. backend service) and have it handle this for you.

You should have 2 form fields.....your numeric amount and your "string" to hold the numeric value spelled out. (also, you might want to add a "language" field to pass to make it scalable later)

Your service will take in the numeric amount (and languge if you use that). It should check to make sure the value passed "is numeric" and then if so, pass it to the standard SAP function(s) that will do the work of converting it for you. Then pass back this string value in your "numeric value spelled out" field.

VERY easy generic service

Hi rajesh,

            You can do the coding at interface level. Instead you can write the your logic in your back end services. Assign DE EMPTY Property to that Amount field so that on entering values on the Amount field Back end will trigger and you have to capture the value and pass it to the function module SPELL_AMOUNT  it will return the Amount in Words.

Hi Rajesh,

You can achieve this by creating a custom backend service and write your code to display the amount in words in the corresponding class.

Now there are two ways in which you can call this backend service:

1) You can create an exit event on your amount field which will be triggered by Javascript.

    This way you will be able to display the amount in words on the same step.

    Here you can create rules to ensure that only relevant services are called for this event.

    You can write you code in Initialize or Do-operations method depending upon the type of your event.

2) You can write your code in do-operations method of your class corresponding to your backend service. It will automatically be called when user clicks on "check and send".

However, in this case the text will be displayed when the form is in "review" stage so if then the user wants to change the amount after viewing the text he will have to come back to the "fill out form" stage and then change the amount.

Hi Rajesh,

Try this function module HR_IN_CHG_INR_WRDS or SPELL_AMOUNT
