BAPI- Sales Order Create

Former Member — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 15:52:39 GMT

HI,

I am using the BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE to simulate a sales order. The order is created and the calculated amounts are returned in the ORDER_ITEMS_OUT structure correctly with tax in TX_DOC_CUR.

The tax classification for the material in the order line item is set to 2 = Zero Tax Rate (field VBAP-TAXM1).

(From VA03 - Display Order -> Select Line Item -> Schedule Lines -> Billing -> Field Tax Classification.)

The scenario is that the order is being created from internet. So if the material is a downloadable material, then it has to be taxed. The same material can/cannot be downloaded. If user selects download copy instead of dispatch copy then it has to be taxed, in which case, I need to force tax classification = 1 = Full Tax

(field VBAP-TAXM1).

The client does not wish to create two materials, with different tax classification.

I think I need to modify the BAPI and provide a paramter which says weather the user has clicked Download or not.

But how will I force a different tax classification during calculation or prices?

Also there are some structures which accept config data. Can these be used to change anything to suit my requirement?

Thanks a lot for your help and input in advance.

Regards,

Vaishali

Vaishali,

You will not find this field exposed in the structures that are associated with Func Mod - BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE.

However, you will find this field exposed in BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. The field name is TAX_CLASS1 in structure BAPISDITM. You can fill this parameter as needed in your IMPORT table.

Note that this BAPI does have a simulate mode using field "TESTRUN". We use this extensively here.

Please reward points for helpful answers.

Hi John,

Thanks a ton for the reply. You solved my problem. The reason I didnt mark it as solved, is because I wanted to ask you further questions.

The reason I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE is because the BAPI returns the price. So I can pass this price back on the internet.

Where as I dont see any pricing information in BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDATA2.

However, I can successfully pass the tax code in the sales order and the price is calculated correctly.

My question is however, is there a way to pass the pricing information back to the user without actually creating the order?

Vaishali,

In your unique situation, I would have to suggest that you use both BAPIs. The BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE to provide any relevant pricing to the Internet user. And then I would use _CREATEFROMDAT2 to physically create the order when directed by the user. If I am understanding your reqs correctly...

BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE returns the pricing, with the configured tax rules. In my case, I want to be able to change the tax rules and calculate tax.

I could use BAPI_SALESORDER_SIMULATE, then apply the tax rules and add up the values to get tax amount.
