create characteristic

Former Member — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:54:00 GMT

hi experts,

Iam trying to make a bdc for transaction CT04 which uploads values from file.

I was trying to do recording for transaction ct04 but on the very first screen the fields gets greyed unlike when i run the transaction manually.

Is there any alternative which you can suggest that might work.

thanks,

sabs

Hi,

Use this BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE for creating characteristics. It covers all the fields required for creating characteristics.

Use explicit bapi_commit_work after using this bapi. For more info refer BAPI documentation.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Hi,

To populate value tab,

The values must be entered in the following values tables, according to data type: numeric, time, and date values in CharactValuesNum, character and boolean values in CharactValuesChar, and currency values in CharactValuesCurr. The value descriptions are in table CharactValuesDescr, regardless of data type.

Hope this help in entering data in value tab.

Regards,

Brajvir

Hi,

just read the documentation for the BAPI provided,

just after using the bapi u have to use another bapi for saving the changes into the database.

i.e.

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT

this shall save the entries.

thanks
