Table update

Former Member — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 17:57:04 GMT

Hi everyone

I have a query. Certain table fields that do not appear on any transaction screen and are neither are there any Bapi to update those fields, what is the approach that should be followed to update those fields. Since that are not on screen, recording is also not possible. What is the technique to update such standard table fields.

Thanks in advance.

They may be fields that are updated by an update program like userid or update time.

Or they may be fields that are updated in different transactions than you looked at.

You can do a 'where used list' to find out what programs update them.

Hi Rob

I am working in a data migration project and I am migrating business partners from one system to another. In the transaction bp there is a field I can see that no Bapi is handling, so how should I update this particular field in the new system.

It would help to have more information: What transaction? What screen? What table? What field?

Transaction- BP

Screen -credit worthiness data

Field- text

For a bp with role UKM000, there is a screen at the last for credit standing. It has a text field which Bapi_bupa_credit_standing_get and set is not able to handle.

First of all your subject is meaningless. That is grounds for the discussion being rejected. Please use a meaningful subject in future. But as Rob has already engaged, I'll let it pass this time.

Secondly you say:

Certain table fields that do not appear on any transaction screen and are neither are there any Bapi to update those fields

And then you say

For a bp with role UKM000, there is a screen at the last for credit standing. It has a text field which Bapi_bupa_credit_standing_get and set is not able to handle.

So first you say it's table fields that you can't see in transaction screens nor BAPI, now you say you there is a screen with a text field that you can see.

So which is it? You entire question is very vague and woolly. How about sharing some specifics?

Sorry for the confusion. There are 2 parts to my ques.

1. A screen field that Bapi is not handling. In transaction BP, there is a screen field text in credit worthiness tab that is not present in Bapi.

2. For business partners, there are numerous tables present but the bapis that are available do not cover them all. In that case since most of the table fields that might not be present on the screen and are neither in the Bapi, what is the way to update them.

Hi,

For the first part of your question, there may be a separate BAPI for updating credit worthiness. Have you tried doing a where-used on those fields?

For the second part of your question, do you have an example of these fields?

Tip: the best way to get answers in SCN is to be as specific as possible. It should be a warning sign that - so far - you are only getting questions fired back at you, and no answers!

cheers
