FM to create document flow

Former Member — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 10:55:24 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the fm BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE to create an invoice for a sales order. In the next step I want to link this new invoice to the document flow of the sales order.

I've found several fms to do this (BINARY_RELATION_CREATE_COMMIT, SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_MAINTAIN, RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW_UPDATE, RV_XVBFA_MAINTAIN ...) but I have no idea which one is correct and how it has to be called.

Any ideas/examples would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Stefan

Initialize the call using SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_INIT

Call SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_MAINTAIN passing i_status = 'H', and i_vbfa = new document flow record

Call SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_SAVE_PO to save the record to database.

Thanks,

Juwin

Yes..You can do as Juwin said...

Initialize the flow

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_INIT'

EXPORTING

i_vbtyp_n = 'V'.

And prepare the structures..

DATA: ls_vbfa TYPE vbfa.

ls_vbfa-mandt = sy-mandt.

ls_vbfa-vbelv = is_vbap-vbeln.

ls_vbfa-posnv = is_vbap-posnr.

ls_vbfa-vbeln = iv_ponum.

ls_vbfa-posnn = is_vbap-posnr.

ls_vbfa-vbtyp_n = 'V'.

ls_vbfa-rfmng = is_vbap-kwmeng.

ls_vbfa-meins = is_vbap-vrkme.

ls_vbfa-vbtyp_v = 'H' .

ls_vbfa-erdat = sy-datum.

ls_vbfa-erzet = sy-uzeit.

ls_vbfa-matnr = is_vbap-matnr.

* Maintain document flow

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_MAINTAIN'

EXPORTING

i_delete = space

i_status = 'H'

i_vbfa = ls_vbfa.

And finally save the document flow

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_SAVE_PO'.

Thanks for your answers, I did as you said and added a COMMIT WORK and it works!

Thank you Stefan for asking the question and thanks to Juwin and Raj for the helpful answers.

I had a similar Problem : i deleted a handling Unit in a packing proposal of a scheduling Agreement with FM "V51F_DELETE_HU" (commit for the deletion of HU is done with FM "HU_POST".

To maintain the document flow I used FM "RV_XVBFA_MAINTAIN".

I did not understand why table VBFA was not updated.

Thanks to this post I used FM "RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW_UPDATE_U" -> it is inside of FM "SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_SAVE_PO".

It worked.

Stephan

Hi,

I used the same code for tried to make flow between Contract & Billing after Contract creation, but it didnt work out. I'm getting below challenge

1> What do I need to export in SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_INIT, as V is for PO.

2> In, SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_SAVE_PO, it asking me to export PO, but I'm creating Contract from Billing, there is no EBELN.

Code is below

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_INIT'

EXPORTING

i_vbtyp_n = 'V'.

And prepare the structures..

DATA: ls_vbfa TYPE vbfa.

ls_vbfa-mandt = sy-mandt.

ls_vbfa-vbelv = is_vbap-vbeln.

ls_vbfa-posnv = is_vbap-posnr.

ls_vbfa-vbeln = iv_ponum.

ls_vbfa-posnn = is_vbap-posnr.

ls_vbfa-vbtyp_n = 'G'.

ls_vbfa-rfmng = is_vbap-kwmeng.

ls_vbfa-meins = is_vbap-vrkme.

ls_vbfa-vbtyp_v = 'M' .

ls_vbfa-erdat = sy-datum.

ls_vbfa-erzet = sy-uzeit.

ls_vbfa-matnr = is_vbap-matnr.

* Maintain document flow

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_MAINTAIN'

EXPORTING

i_delete = space

i_status = 'H' OR 'V'

i_vbfa = ls_vbfa.

And finally save the document flow

CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DOCUMENT_FLOW_SAVE_PO'.

EXPORT

I_EBELN = ''.
