Need RFC Function Module for Variant Comparison

former_member214878 — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:18:43 GMT

Hello All,

I was searching for a RFC enabled function module which could fetch the variant Information from other systems, so that I could compare the Changed Variants from two different systems (ECC and 4.6 ) for the same program.

After lot of searching I could not get any RFC enabled FM, however I got one which is normal FM (RS_VARIANT_INFO).

So I was thinking to create one "Z" RFC enabled FM as a Wrapper for Normal FM, and then call "RS_VARIANT_INFO" inside it. But somehow I am not still convinced with it.

Can anyone please guide me if you know anything about it.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Ravindra Sonar.

Hi Ravindra,

Have you tried RFC /ASU/RS_VARIANT_DISPLAY ?

Hope its useful.

Hi Ravindra,

You can do a RFC_READ_TABLE on tables VARID and VARIT, and check the values returned.

Thanks,

Hi Ravindra,

Are you asking about sales order material variants.

Madhu.

Sorry Madhu, I am not at all asking about Material Variants. Its all about the SE38 Program variants (Called selection set sometimes)

Hello Rajesh,

Its almost the same I searched a while ago, sorry I forgot to mention in the question is -

I wanted such a RFC enabled FM which may filter records on - Variant Range, Last Changed User, Changed By, Changed On Date etc. e.g (RS_VARIANT_INFO)

I tried the FM which u have suggested "/ASU/RS_VARIANT_DISPLAY" but what I need the most is Variant Range should be there and few filter Criterion should be there as like RS_VARIANT_INFO.

Hope this makes me clearer now.

by the way thanks for sending reply

thanks and Regards,

Ravindra Sonar

Wrapping RS_VARIANT_INFO in a customer RFC enabled FM you will be able to check some data like user who created/changed, date/time. If you want more information like selection criteria use a FM like RS_VARIANT_VALUES_TECH_DATA.

Thanks Raymond, as usual your answere was "TO THE POINT".... However I am not really looking after any normal function module which could give me better handle over Variant information, rather I am searching for RFC enabled one.

I think its enough searching now there is no RFC enabled FM which is taking Variant information from another system .......... I need to go with RFC wrapper custom FM.

anyway again, if anyone find something related to it ... please do share

Sorry Ravindra. I could not find any such RFC which fits in your requirement.

I guess you have to create a Z RFC to call function module RS_VARIANT_INFO.

Rajesh

I agree, we get some FM to change/create variant thru RFC, but, surprisingly, none to read those, so I looked at function group SVAR_RFC, where there are FM wrapper like RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT_RFC for RS_CHANGE_CREATED_VARIANT, RS_CREATE_VARIANT_RFC for RS_CREATE_VARIANT...

And all what I found was RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS_RFC wrapper of RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS which can be used to return the list of parameters and selection values, but not userid/time stamp, but which may interest you.
