Ranjeet,

check the BAPI documentation

Messages are returned in the RETURN parameter. The parameter documentation contains the return codes and their meanings.

The key fields used by this method are described under the parameters.

This method can only be used if the ENQUEUE method has already been called up for the business object EMPLOYEE. For more information on the ENQUEUE method, please see the documentation on the function module BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE.

Thanks

Hi,

Before you call the BAPI to update the data use BAPI BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE to lock the employee so that mean time no one else update the data.

Then call the BAPI BAPI_ABSENCE_CREATE

Then unlock the employee with BAPI BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE, Unlock employee

Use the below function modules in sequence

1) HR_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'

2) BAPI_ABSENCE_CREATE

3) HR_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE

Functionality

Using this method, an Absences infotype record (2001) can be created.

Notes

Messages are returned in the RETURN parameter. The parameter documentation contains the return codes and their meanings.

The key fields used by this method are described under the parameters.

Note: Create absence

Caution! This API method only writes the Absences infotype (2001). It should no longer be used as it can lead to inconsistent time data. Instead, please use the corresponding 'ManageCreation' API method for business object BUS7007.

SaiRam

Dear Sai Ram,

Thank you for your valuable reply.

I can create the absence of employee in SAP using BAPI.

But my problem is sometimes I am getting blank message in RETURN.

How can I display correct RETURN message in VB.NET.

I used following method for displaying RETURN value after calling "BAPI_ABSENCE_CREATE"

Dim output As Object

output = callBapi.imports("RETURN")

MsgBox(output ("MESSAGE").ToString())
