Fill customer fields in BAPI (BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE)

Former Member — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 05:39:33 GMT

i am using BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE

to create pord order from sales order(CO08). this works fine.

The thing is, i want to create Prod order from Sto.(CO01).

i'll use bapi, but how would i'll be able to fill cutsomer tab,

that i have created in Prod order.

there are customer field for Purchasing doc no and item,

to link sto with prod order.

these fields with values gets stored in table AUFK.

(they were appended using include)

moreover, i was wondering, there are no Extensionin and extensionout

parameters in BAPI>> BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE.

Please suggest how will i be able to fill these customer field through

this BApi or any other.

Hi Abhishek,

Your understanding is correct that you cannot use the existing BAPI for populating Z fields. I do not know how you are associating Production Order data with Purchasing Doc details but you can use

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to populate Z fields in AUFK. The table extension to be used is BAPI_TE_AUFK.

Ask further if not clear.

BR.

Your reply has evoked many question in my mind:

1 why can we add extensionin and extensionoutparameters

in the same bapi i.e BAPI_PO_CREATE1

so that we can use the same bapi to fill zfields also.

2. u said i can use BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to update fields

of table AUFK.

but rather why cant i simply use this method:

first using BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create prod order.

then AUFK will container the AUfnr(order no)

and i simply write update statement.

  *wa_aufk will contain zzebeln and zzebelp
          update aufk from wa_aufk.
               if sy-subrc is o.
                    commit work.
               endif.

what diff does it make if i am using bapi u mentioned.

3.i am hardly trying to understand the concept of bapi table extension.

infact i have read the sap documentation.

firstly can u tell me from why is it like when i am using bapi_te* in SE11

and f4. no results found.

how u been able to found bapi_te_aufk.(step followed to find this table extension).

moreover, can u please tell how i'll be able to use EXTENSION_IN paramter in bapi u mentioned.

suppose i want to fill zzebeln and zzebelp of AUFK.

please , what value to be passed in EXTENSION_IN and how to fill that value.

Dear Abhishek,

It would be easy to do as follows (as you suggested as well).

After completion of the BAPI - successfully

If BAPI_ORDER_KEY-ORDER_NUMBER is not initial

then assign your purchase order number details to the ZZ-table value and

call the update statement.

endif.

Regards,

Venkat

Same as above. As a practice you should never use update directly and use BAPIs/SAP provided FMs since the field values go in various tables. Since it is a custom one, you can do that but if you use BAPI_PO_CREATE1, i do not think you will need this.

3.i am hardly trying to understand the concept of bapi table extension.

infact i have read the sap documentation.

BAPI_TE_AUFK (and BAPI_TE_etc etc) are table structures and not tables, Search them in Data Type option in SE11.

Now code snippet for you -

ls_extensionsin_s-structure = 'BAPI_TE_AUFK'

ls_extensionsin_s-valuepart1+0(12) = <order id> " Key field for you its orderid so it should be

ls_extensionsin_s-valuepart1+12(<size of z field 1>) = <Zfield1>.

APPEND ls_extensionsin_s TO lt_extensionsin_s.

moreover, can u please tell how i'll be able to use EXTENSION_IN paramter in bapi u mentioned.

suppose i want to fill zzebeln and zzebelp of AUFK.

please , what value to be passed in EXTENSION_IN and how to fill that value.

Indeed this was a helpful answer,

i'll use BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to update field of AUFk table.

Firstly there is a mandatory parameter IT_METHODS in tables tab.

how to fill this ??

              ls_extensionsin_s-structure = 'BAPI_TE_AUFK'
              ls_extensionsin_s-valuepart1+0(12)   = <order id> " Key field for you its orderid so it should be
              ls_extensionsin_s-valuepart1+12(<size of z field 1>) = <Zfield1>.
"that is the value of zzebeln (purchasing doc no is filled), EBELN is of type char10.
ls_extensionin_s-valuepart+12(10) = '0000000001' "say P. Doc no."ebeln.
ls_extensionin_s-valuepart+22(5) = '00010' "say P. Doc no line item."ebelp.

              APPEND ls_extensionsin_s TO lt_extensionsin_s.
Upto this , i got it.
but    VALUEPART1   is of type char240. and now it is been filled with 12 + 10 + 5 = 27 character.
valuepart1 can still contain 213 letters more.
the. what is the use of fields
"all are of 240 char.
VALUEPART2
VALUEPART3
VALUEPART4
when are these fields get filled, if we have to pass the values of both doc no and item in the
very first field VALUEPART2 ???
shortly,if we have to pass all the customer field values in one single field, in a concatenated form, then what is the use of all other three fields.
Also, we are passing values of zzebeln and zzebelp. but we are not passing fields name of table aufk.
somewhere we need to pass that these both values 0000000001 and 00010 are to be filled in zzebeln and zzebelp fields of table AUFK.
Where the fields names are to be passed?
_____________________________
Another thing that i wonder,
by chance i have created a include in table AUFK and so i found a tbale extension BAPI_TE_AUFK.
what if i have appended these two fields in table AFPO.
then there does not exist any table extension BAPI_TE_AFPO.??? What then?
