BAPI_REQUISITION_DELETE and BAPI_PR_CHANGE

Former Member — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 09:56:43 GMT

Hello experts,

I want to use BAPI_PR_CHANGE to close purchase requisition item when creating new PO with reference to PR, and here is my code snippet:


* Create table for purchase requisition item's changing indicators
 APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_pritemsx ASSIGNING <fs_pritemx>.
 <fs_pritemx>-preq_item = lv_pr_item_number.
 <fs_pritemx>-closed = lc_x. " 'X' means we will change the CLOSED field

* Create table for purchase requisition item's new values
 APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_pritems_new ASSIGNING <fs_pritem_new>.
 MOVE-CORRESPONDING <fs_pritem> TO <fs_pritem_new>.
 <fs_pritem_new>-closed = lc_x. " 'X' means the value of CLOSED field will be changed to 'X'

* Set "PReq. Closed" flag
 CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PR_CHANGE'
 EXPORTING
 number = lv_pr_number
 TABLES
 return = lt_return
 pritem = lt_pritems_new
 pritemx = lt_pritemsx.

For most cases, BAPI_PR_CHANGE works well. But for some case, for example there is ‘Release stragety’ tab in some PR item, and I released it using ME54, then BAPI_PR_CHANGE will give me such message and 'PReq. Closed' flag is set failed.

But if I use BAPI_REQUISITION_DELETE for the same case, 'PReq. Closed' flag will be set successfully.

So could anyone tell me why BAPI_PR_CHANGE doesn't work here? And what's the difference between BAPI_REQUISITION_DELETE and BAPI_PR_CHANGE in deleting or closing purchase requisition?

Thanks,

Shelwin

Hi,

You also need to set the PRITEMX-CLOSED flag for the item which you want to close.

This is required in BAPI_PR_CHANGE.

Let me know if it helped?

Thanks,

BAPI_REQUISITIONS* (4.0A+) are old BAPI relative to "outdated" non-Enjoy transaction, when BAPI_PR* (6.40+) are relative to new Enjoy transactions.

Reference : 499627 - FAQ: BAPIs for purchase requisitions and 1803189 - FAQ: End of Support of ME21, ME51, and BAPI_PO_CREATE etc.

Look also at OSS for notes relative to error ME 664 like 1908567 - BAPI_PO_CREATE1/BAPI_PO_CHANGE : Information message "ME 664" or 1287690 - Ready for input status of purchase requisition dialog box .

You should also been allowed to execute the change with ME52 and not with ME52N or with a warning/popup ?

Regards,

Raymond

Hi Zuber,

I have already set the PRITEMX-CLOSED flag for the item, please refer to my code snippet.
