Passing custom fields to BAPI

Former Member — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 13:31:03 GMT

Hi All,

How can i handle the Quantity field using BAPIPAREX?

EX.

I have added the following custom fields to the standard table EKKO.

zf_base (Price per ton, CURRENCY)

zreq_tons (Tons Required,QUANTITY)

zpo_issue_date (PO Issue date,Date)

Here I am using the bapi 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' to create Purchase Order. How can i pass the above fields to BAPI.

Veera,

I believe that you will need to create "Z" version of the BAPI. In that ZBAPIXXXXX, you can append your fields and necessary logic.

can i use customer exits/badi's for the same?

If you can find that SAP has placed UEs/BADIs into the BAPI, then certainly yes.

You would need to scan thru it to find if they exist.

U dont have to create a Z verion. u can use extensionIN parameter. take a look at the bapi funtion module documentation. here is the hint,

<b>Customer's Own Fields (Import Parameters)</b>

This table allows you to add to the import parameters of the BAPI without modifying it.

The customer enhancement SAPL2012 allows you to add to or modify the PurchaseOrder.Change and PurchaseOrder.CreateFromData1BAPIs by:

• Adapting existing SAP database tables

o Adding customer-specific fields to SAP tables

o Including existing database fields

• Including additional customer-specific database tables

The following BAPI Table Extensions are available:

• BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER

• BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADERX

• BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM

• BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX

• BAPI_TE_MEPOACCOUNTING

• BAPI_TE_MEPOACCOUNTINGX
