BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE importing table value converted to upper case

Former Member — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 06:37:10 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am facing a strange issue with BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE.

The field requisition_items_old-short_text is converted to upper case when calling the BAPI due to this error W058 is raised.

BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE:

Main Program SAPLMEWQ

Source code of LMEWQF05

Line - 582

BAPIEBANV-VEND_MAT_LONG = REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD-VEND_MAT_LONG."455879

IF bapiebanv NE requisition_items_old.

data_inconsistent = 'X'.

ENDIF.

This causes the issue shown in snap shot.

Is it possible to force the text to lower case on calling BAPI?

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hi,

first, check OSS note

And maybe you could change the domain of the data element of your field ?

(it's a standard modification .. )

Hi Fred,

I have checked OSS notes but found none relevant.

Modification of standard is not an option.

Thanks,

Hi,

Check the domain of the field in SE11. In the domain definition if the checkbox Lowercase must be blank. Hence the field converts the lowercase values to uppercase. Refer the screen below:

So the possible solution may be to make the domain case sensitive.

Cheers,

Hi Anubhav,

Before passing below field value into BAPI first Translate into lower case .

Suppose :

DATA : S_TRANSLATE_OLD LIKE BAPIEBANV OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

Loop at REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD .

TRANSLATE REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD-SHORT_TEXT TO LOWER CASE.

MOVE REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD-SHORT_TEXT TO S_TRANSLATE_OLD-SHORT_TEXT.

...........

........

-----

---

APPEND S_TRANSLATE_OLD-SHORT_TEXT.

CLEAR: S_TRANSLATE_OLD-SHORT_TEXT.

...........

EndLoop.

Now When you Call BAPI in your Custom Program.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE'

EXPORTING

.........................................

..............

IMPORTING

..........................................

.........................

TABLES

REQUISITION_ITEMS_OLD = S_TRANSLATE_OLD

...............

.....

Regard's

Are you sure when you call your BAPI you put data in upper case ?

How is the BAPI being called?

SE37, Custom program or External system or something else?

Hi Manish,

BAPI is called from SRM system but the behavior is same even if tested in SE37 in ERP.

Thanks,

SE37 environment does change lowercase to uppercase.

If you run the BAPI with same parameters in ERP system using custom program, same error won't occur.

Hi Manish,

But the same error occurs when calling RFC from SRM system.

There is a check box for lower-case when you test a FM

Reply from SAP:

The difference is, that the short text of the purchase requisition
item on data base is in upper and lower case letters, while the
bapi can only handle upper case letters. That is why the systems
dectects the short text as different.

The bapi_requisition_change is a old bapi wich is no longer in
support. So I will have to ask you to use the new bapi
bapi_pr_change instead. The problem does not come up with that bapi.
