Error when calling bapi (order_maintain)

Hi,

I have a problem with updating an order with BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.

I have a simple example where I want to update the short_text to a new value for an existing order.

I send this:


<n:BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN xmlns:n="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
	<IT_HEADER>
		<item>
			<ORDERID>000000815966</ORDERID>
			<SHORT_TEXT>test</SHORT_TEXT>
		</item>
	</IT_HEADER>
	<IT_HEADER_UP>
		<item>
			<ORDERID>000000815966</ORDERID>
			<SHORT_TEXT>X</SHORT_TEXT>
		</item>
	</IT_HEADER_UP>
	<IT_METHODS>
		<item>
			<REFNUMBER>1</REFNUMBER>
			<OBJECTTYPE>HEADER</OBJECTTYPE>
			<METHOD>CHANGE</METHOD>
			<OBJECTKEY>000000815966</OBJECTKEY>
		</item>
		<item>
			<OBJECTTYPE> </OBJECTTYPE>
			<METHOD>SAVE</METHOD>
		</item>
	</IT_METHODS>
</n:BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN>

And receive this:


<rfc:BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.Response xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

			<ROW>0</ROW>
			<FIELD/>
			<SYSTEM>CF5CLNT800</SYSTEM>
		</item>
	</RETURN>
</rfc:BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.Response>

What am I doing wrong? I have a SAVE method in the message...?

I have also checked the checkbox in XI to automatically do a closing BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT..

Good reward will be given for a good answer.

Thanks

Anders

Hello Anders,

try to skip the ' <OBJECTTYPE> </OBJECTTYPE>' in the SAVE-method line. Guess that in this line

there has to be only the SAVE in method field, nothing else.

Hi Anders.

You need to have field IT_METHODS-REFNUMBER filled with 1 also for the SAVE method.
