Problem with BAPI_SHIPMENT_CREATE

Former Member — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:30:39 GMT

Hi,

I am using BAPI_SHIPMENT_CREATE in se37 to create shipment.

I've given proper data and it does return sy-subrc 0 with a shipment number.

But, when i try to change the same in Tcode VT02N, it says "Shipment 104689 is currently being processed by user DZ9S07".

When i used the same BAPI in a program, it gives me the shipment number and when i try to display it in the Tcode VT03N, it gives me a message, "Shipment 104689 is neither in the database nor in the archive."

do i have to do anything specific for these shipments to get saved?

I doubt if i need to do a commit work, anyway i've tried doing that in the debugging. No luck.

Please help me.

Cheers,

Ajit.

Ajit,

Try to commit by calling FM 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' after bapi BAPI_SHIPMENT_CREATE call.

Thanks.

That worked.

But, why does it not need a commit in r/3 4.7 or 4.6?

it works fine there een without explicit commit.

In earlier Versions of SAP 4.7 etc. there are a lot of BAPIs that do their commit thmeselves.

This has been proven not too good so in later releases some BAPIs lost this functionality and you need to do the commit manually using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
