Hello Gurus,

I am creating a PR using BAPI_PR_CREATE, I achieve creating the PR, but I can't save value in the custom fields.

This is my code, would you please help me?

Thanks

- Did you add the custom fields in BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM and BAPI_TE_MEREQITEMX under the append structure CI_EBANDB / CI_EBANDBX or create a new one? Make sure you have used CI_*** append structures;

- Implement the BADI ME_BAPI_PR_CUST put a break in the method MAP2I_EXTENSIONIN and check if IM_CONTAINER is filled.

Felipe

Hi Felipe,

Yes, I have done that.

The transparent table EBAN has an .INCLUDE begins with CI_***, here are all the custom fields of a PR.

I will take a look at BADI ME_BAPI_PR_CUST, I will debug it.

I'll let you know.

thanks

Hi Enrique,

please try as a first step to replace

PERFORM transfer_to_extensionin USING ls_req_item CHANGING ls_extensionin.

with

MOVE ls_req_item TO ls_extensionin+30.

and to replace

PERFORM transfer_to_extensionin USING ls_req_itemx CHANGING ls_extensionin.

with

MOVE ls_req_itemx TO ls_extensionin+30.

If this will work, you can improve this code for the code inspector.

Regards,

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

It doesn't work, when I write the sentence MOVE...... I have an error , IT SAYS

"LS_EXTENSIONIN+30(960)" and "LS_REQ_ITEM" are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program. .

Thanks

Hi,

BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM (include CI_EBANDB) should have only char and similar datatypes.

Please read carefully documentation of function BAPI_PR_CREATE parameter EXTENSIONIN and note 509898. Maybe You've to implement BADI described by Felipe.

Jarek

Hi Jaroslaw,

Thank for answering, I am Reading the note, OK I understand, but still I am figuring out how to solve my problema, I am new at BADI, I am Reading now how to do it.

If you have some lines of code ABAP that can help me please, I will appreciate it. Or Perhaps a Link to read in more detail about this.

Sorry.

Thanks

Hi Enrique,

then try the following: Replace

PERFORM transfer_to_extensionin USING ls_req_item CHANGING ls_extensionin.

with

DESCRIBE FIELD ls_req_item LENGTH h_length IN BYTE MODE.

MOVE ls_req_item TO ls_extensionin+30(h_length).

and replace

PERFORM transfer_to_extensionin USING ls_req_itemx CHANGING ls_extensionin.

with

DESCRIBE FIELD ls_req_itemx LENGTH h_length IN BYTE MODE.

MOVE ls_req_itemx TO ls_extensionin+30(h_length).

where h_length is defined as

DATA: h_length TYPE i.

I've checked this in a small sample report and it worked for me

REPORT ztest_extensionin.

DATA: ls_req_item TYPE bapi_te_mereqitem.

DATA: ls_req_itemx TYPE bapi_te_mereqitemx.

DATA: ls_extensionin TYPE bapiparex.

DATA: h_length TYPE i.

START-OF-SELECTION.

DESCRIBE FIELD ls_req_item LENGTH h_length IN BYTE MODE.

MOVE ls_req_item TO ls_extensionin+30(h_length).

DESCRIBE FIELD ls_req_itemx LENGTH h_length IN BYTE MODE.

MOVE ls_req_itemx TO ls_extensionin+30(h_length).

Klaus

Please try use Klaus code, could help (I didn't try). You can also search SDN with keys: BAPI_PR_CREATE, EXTENSIONIN.

In documentation of EXTENSONIN parametr there is link to SAP help, it' realy useful.

Hi Klaus,

There must be something different in my report about yours, because I have this error.

I have debug and the line where the report fails is the following:

MOVE ls_req_item TO ls_extensionin+30(h_length).

I have the same declarations lines :

DATA: ls_req_item TYPE BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM,
            ls_req_itemx TYPE BAPI_TE_MEREQITEMX,
            ls_extensionin TYPE bapiparex,
            lt_extensionin TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiparex.

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

PeterJonker — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:04:58 GMT

The error says that the structure ls_req_item is longer then extensionin.

ls_req_item = 1260 long and extensionin is only 990 long. That is why it dumps.

It is up to you now to check why ls_req_item is that long.

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:11:55 GMT

Hi,

Thank your for your answer, Yes I understand the error, I know, but I don't how to solve it. this the structure of ls_req_ítem, there are almost 60 fields, the image is only a portion.

Thanks again

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

PeterJonker — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:22:14 GMT

Can you split up the fields and values ? Extensionin is a table.

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:28:18 GMT

The BAPI extension can have the maximum length of 960 characteres, you can find SAP documentation below:

Appending Customer Fields - Enhancements, Modifications, ? (CA-BFA) - SAP Library

Seems that your append structure has more than permitted, you can try this way below to try to update the fields up to 960 characteres, sincerly i didn't try and I don't know if it will work, but the fields from character 960 onwards surely cannot be updated by BAPI extension.

MOVE ls_req_item(960) TO ls_extensionin+30(960).

Felipe

Hi Felipe,

I have this error.

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

PeterJonker — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:52:09 GMT

If I were you I would go through the link provided by Felippe and see if you followed all the guidelines EXACTLY. Especially concerning the Include and append to be used and the fields in this append structure.

One thing I saw when I read the documentation in the link is:

"Customers can use only fields of data type CHAR and similar data types in BAPI table extensions"

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:52:40 GMT

You can only use characters fields for BAPI extension, in your append structure you have fields type QUAN, CURR, DEC, this is not supported for extension functionality.

Felipe

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:55:28 GMT

Hi Felipe.

Ok, I got it, Ok that must the error, all the custom fields are not char, perhaps thats because I can't update custom fields using extensión.

Re: BAPI_PR_CREATE EXTENSIONIN

Former Member — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 15:02:05 GMT

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your time and suggestions, I have the answer, because all custom fields of append structure are not CHAR, I can't update customs fields using EXTENSIONIN of BAPI_PR_CREATE.

I think my only solution is to use a simple UPDATE EBAN SET.... WHERE banfn = ....

Thank you all for your valuable time.

nomssi — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:10:26 GMT

Hello Enrique,

here is a solution to fill the valuepart1 of the extension structure: you can CAST both source and destination to field symbols of type X to copy a structure with non-character fields (struc) to a character container (dest) in an unicode system. Instead of writing

   DEST = STRUC

use:


  field-symbols: <struc> TYPE X, <dest> TYPE X.
  assign: struc TO <struc>, dest TO <dest>.
  <dest> = <struc>.

Also check class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES.
