Re: Characterstic InfoObject (DATE) mapping to a KeyFigure InfoObject (DATE)

Ok i have demystified it for you:

There are 2 function modules involved as you have already mentioned in your post.

CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_INPUT  

CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT

So in the first function module if you pass any date then it is converted into number.

Lets say you pass the date as 01.01.2000

After executing the first FM you will get 79999898 this value

Now how did you get this value:

Inside the First FM there is another FM called

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

In this if you pass the date 01.01.2000 then it gives the output in the form of YYYYMMDD.

20000101

Now its also written in the FM that subtract this value with 99999999

So ( 99999999 - 20000101 ) 79999898

Hope this gives an idea how it is being calculated in the background.

Again if you pass this value in the other FM then it will give you the same date back which you entered in the first FM.
