BAPI EXTENSION

Former Member — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:15:03 GMT

Hi Experts,

I want to add new fields to a bapi, for example BAPI_RE_AO_CREATE, how can i do that?

Example: The fields are in z... (zzaltitude) in structure CI_VIBDAO which is found in table vibdao.

In this bapi there is an extention called EXTENSION_IN that i think i have to use, but i don't know how?

ANY IDEA??

Thanks

Mehdi,

Hi,

You need to add the fields in this extension structure referred in BAPi using SE11.

Thanks

Hi,

Do i have to add the fields where i put points (.....) or under STRUCTURE?

thanks

Hi,

Check the below code....

DATA:

lt_extension_in TYPE TABLE OF bapiparex,

ls_extension_in TYPE bapiparex,

ci_data TYPE rebd_business_entity_ci.

fill values for user fields

ci_data-zzaltitude = <Your Value>.

prepare BAPI-parameter

ls_extension_in-structure = 'CI_DATA'.

use instead:

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=> fill_container_c

EXPORTING

im_value = ci_data

IMPORTING

ex_container = ls_extension_in-valuepart1

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

APPEND ls_extension_in TO lt_extension_in.

Use lt_extension_in in your BAPI Function Module..

Basically you need to add the custom fields in the structure CI_DATA

Add. Data: Entry

Description

Separate table parameters are used for transferring user fields for BAPIs:

EXTENSION_IN for the CREATE-BAPI and CHANGE-BAPI for changing user fields

EXTENSION_OUT for the GET_DETAIL and GET_LIST BAPIs for reading user fields

The row type of the EXTENSION_IN and EXTENSION_OUT parameters is the DDIC structure BAPIPAREX. The values for the user fields need to be transferred as follows.

In the first STRUCTURE field, you need to transfer the CI_DATA character string. When processing the BAPI, the system uses this string to recognize user fields for basic data. The system supplies these user fields automatically without the customer being required to do any additional programming

In the VALUEPART1 field, transfer the values of all user fields based on length. If 240 characters are not sufficient, transfer the remaining data to the VALUEPART2 field, and so on as needed. The system regards the fields VALUEPART1 to VALUEPART4 as a character string with the length 960. The data is distributed over 4 fields for technical reasons only.

To enter basic data in the user fields, transfer one entry into the EXTENSION_IN table (with the value CI_DATA in the STRUCTURE field). Other entries are ignored at present. In a later release it will also be possible to supply data for customer-defined tables using BAPIs.

The following example shows the direct call of BAPIs with the transfer of user fields for the business entity. The example assumes that the CI include of the basic data table was extended for the business entity to include the fields ZZVALUE, ZZUNIT, and ZZAKTZEICHEN. ZZVALUE is of the type QUAN with 4 decimal places and ZZAKTZEICHEN of the type CHAR with the length 20.

Formatting parameter for CREATE and CHANGE BAPI:

DATA:

lt_extension_in TYPE TABLE OF bapiparex,

ls_extension_in TYPE bapiparex,

ls_ci_data TYPE rebd_business_entity_ci.

fill values for user fields

ls_ci_data-zzvalue = '4711.1234'.

ls_ci_data-zzunit = 'M2'.

ls_ci_data-zzaktzeichen = 'XY 987'.

prepare BAPI-parameter

ls_extension_in-structure = 'CI_DATA'.

doesn't work with unicode:
ls_extension_in-valuepart1 = ls_ci_data.
use instead:

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=> fill_container_c

EXPORTING

im_value = ls_ci_data

IMPORTING

ex_container = ls_extension_in-valuepart1

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

APPEND ls_extension_in TO lt_extension_in.

call BAPI

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_RE_BE_CREATE'

EXPORTING

comp_code_ext =

business_entity_number_ext =

...

TABLES

extension_in = lt_extension_in

return =

Reading of user fields using GET_DETAIL-BAPI:

DATA:

lt_extension_out TYPE TABLE OF bapiparex,

ls_extension_out TYPE bapiparex,

ls_ci_data TYPE rebd_business_entity_ci.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_RE_BE_GET_DETAIL'

EXPORTING

compcode =

businessentitynumber =

...

TABLES

extension_out = lt_extension_out

return =

READ TABLE lt_extension_out INTO ls_extension_out

WITH KEY structure = 'CI_DATA'.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

doesn't work with unicode:
ls_ci_data = ls_extension_out-valuepart1.
use instead

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=> read_container_c

EXPORTING

im_container = ls_extension_out-valuepart1

IMPORTING

ex_value = ls_ci_data

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

ENDIF.

I want to use this bapi in an LSMW, and my pb is in the step of mapping, when i mapped BAPIPAREX-STRUCTURE with the structure (where i added my fields) CI_VIBDAO and i mapped VALUEPART1 my value (123 for example) it doesn't work.

ANY IDEA?

Thanks,
