How to update custom fields through standard BAPI?

Former Member — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 06:05:19 GMT

Hi All,

In VA03 TCODE we have additional data B tab in which 5 custom fields are present which are appended in VBAP table. I need to update 2 fields in this screen.

I need to use standard BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE to update but how to include these custom fields in this BAPI.

I tried the steps from function module documentation but it didnt work.

can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks & Regards,

Anjali.

- Which structures were appended (4 structures per table with customer fields) ?

- How did you fill the EXTENSIONIN table parameter ?

- Is there a step you did not understand in parameter documentation ?

Regards,

Raymond

Hi Raymond,

.APPEND ZADD_DATA_B STRU 0 0 Fields for Additional Data B Tab

ZEITR DEC 3 0 Holding period

ZEITE CHAR 1 0 Time unit of time period in indirect date determination

ZCMILE_PLAN NUMC 6 0 Contract Mileage

ZCONT_REF CHAR 20 0 Latest Contract rev

ZAMILE_PLAN NUMC 6 0 Actual mileage

ZACT_RET_DT DATS 8 0 Actual Return Date

the above structure is appended in VBAP table.

I need to update only last 2 fields i.e ZAMILE_PLAN and ZACT_RET_DT using standard BApi BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE .

I am passing below parameter in Extensionin.

BAPE_VBAP

000000058100001000011120120615

- You have to pass also a BAPE_VBAPX record in EXTENSIONIN like

BAPE_VBAPX

000000058100001 XX

- Your customer field names should have started with ZZ not a single Z (Note 16466 - Customer name range for SAP objects)

Hi,

You can refer the documentation given on the field EXTENSIONIN in BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE.

In this documentationyour situation is explained very well.

I have passed BAPE_VBAPX record in EXTENSIONIN like

BAPE_VBAPX

000000058100001 XX

it is saying

ORDER_HEADER_IN has been processed successfully

ITEM_IN has been processed successfully

JLR Buy Back/Emp SO 581 has been saved

but those 2 field values are not updated when i check in va03 tcode.

Did you

- Set CONTRACT_ITEM_INX-UPDATEFLAG = 'U'

- Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
