Vendor Master Contact Creation BAPI

Former Member — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:50:33 GMT

Hi All

I am trying to create a vendor contact upload program but I am having trouble with the BAPI I have. It seems like it works for update but I want to create a new contact.

BAPI_ADDRESSCONTPART_GETDETAIL and BAPI_ADDRESSCONTPART_CHANGE is complaining because I haven't filled out the importing parameter obj_id_p which requires the partner number (which obviously doesn't exist yet)

Does anyone know of the correct BAPI to use to insert new contacts for Vendor? Am I using this BAPI wrong?

I receive this error:

E AM 165

Specify person object type and key

COde:

ls_bapi_ct-objtype_p = 'BUS1006001'.
ls_bapi_ct-objkey_p = t_vend-parnr.
ls_bapi_ct-objtype_c = 'LFA1'.
ls_bapi_ct-objkey_c = t_vend-lifnr.
ls_bapi_ct-context = '5'.

Hi,

The details of values populated is not given but what do you have in the updateflag field is it 'I'. The pattern would be similar to

CLEAR: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x.
bapiadtel-consnumber = '002'.
bapiadtel_x-updateflag = 'D'.
APPEND: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x. "Delete entry
CLEAR: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x.
bapiadtel-consnumber = '003'.
bapiadtel-extension = '77733'.
bapiadtel_x-extension = 'X'.
bapiadtel_x-updateflag = 'U'.
APPEND: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x. "Update entry
CLEAR: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x.
bapiadtel-telephone = '06227'.
bapiadtel-extension = '11111'.
bapiadtel_x-updateflag = 'I'.
APPEND: bapiadtel, bapiadtel_x. "Insert new entry

Also you mentioned

...which requires the partner number (which obviously doesn't exist yet)

I think we need the partner first to add, update the related information. Please create the same using BAPI_BPCONTACT_CREATEFROMDATA.

Cheers,

I believe BAPI_BPCONTACT_CREATEFROMDATA is for creating sale activities? I've used this in the past. This is the code I used to fill the table.

   "Create new Email addresses

    "Email

    tx_bapiadsmtx-e_mail     = 'X'.

    tx_bapiadsmtx-consnumber = 'X'.

    tx_bapiadsmtx-updateflag = 'I'.

    "Comments

    t_bapicomrem-langu       = sy-langu.

    t_bapicomrem-langu_iso   = sy-langu.

    t_bapicomrem-comm_type   = 'INT'.

    "X Flags

    tx_bapicomrex-langu      = 'X'.

    tx_bapicomrex-langu_iso = 'X'.

    tx_bapicomrex-consnumber = 'X'.

    tx_bapicomrex-comm_notes = 'X'.

    tx_bapicomrex-comm_type = 'X'.

    tx_bapicomrex-updateflag = 'I'.

    IF t_vend-email IS NOT INITIAL.

      t_bapiadsmtp-std_no     = 'X'.

      tx_bapiadsmtx-std_no    = 'X'.

      t_bapiadsmtp-home_flag = 'X'.

      tx_bapiadsmtx-home_flag = 'X'.

      "First Email

      t_bapiadsmtp-consnumber = '001'.

      t_bapiadsmtp-e_mail     = 'test@hotmail.com'.

      t_bapicomrem-consnumber = '001'.

      t_bapicomrem-comm_notes = 'test email description'.

      APPEND: t_bapiadsmtp, tx_bapiadsmtx, t_bapicomrem, tx_bapicomrex.

      CLEAR: t_bapiadsmtp-std_no, tx_bapiadsmtx-std_no, t_bapiadsmtp-home_flag, tx_bapiadsmtx-home_flag.

    ENDIF.

Hi,

Yes that true.. I think you need to populate the Object details first similar to

* Choose the following customer contact person address object types and
* object key:
  objtype_p  = 'BUS1006001'
  obj_id_p   = <person number (KNVK)>
  objtype_c  = 'KNA1'
  obj_id_c   = <customer number>
  obj_id_ext = ' '
  context    = '0005'

The parameter obj_id_p = <person number (KNVK)> that what is missing i think in your case the Customer Master Contact Partner has to exist I think.

Yep since I don't have a person number yet then I don't think this is the right BAPI.. haven't seen one that would work for vendor either

Hi Brad Gorlicki,

I had the same issue and tried with all possible ways.

At last I used BDC for t code 'MAP1', it is specially to create contact persons for vendor. It worked for me. Make sure to check the field 'Use central address management' while recording. It helps you to give telephone, email, etc details.
