Hi,

Usually if PO is created through BDC, then many times we forget to EXIT the transaction once we SAVE the PO. Hence the PO is still in change mode and no one else can open it.

Since you are using BAPI, the reason would be that database tables are not updated, hence it would be giving that error. Do a COMMIT WORK AND WAIT after the BAPI call. Then create 2nd good receipt.

Best regards,

Ramesh,

The reason ur getting that issues is because Sap does update using CALL FUNCTION MODULE IN UPDATE TASK which happens in a separate work process. In the first pass of the loop the BAPI sends a request to update the GR but the update has still not happend and it takes few seconds before the records are created in the database. So in the seond pass of the loop it says that the person who is running the program is blocking the PO.

Try writing this command before calling the FM

SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL.

Cheers

Some points would be gr8 if this helps..

There are couple ways to handle this, you can do more than one receipt for the purchase order at one time, just add another line item for the goods_movement_item table, this way you don't have to worry about the locking, or you can do the COMMIT WORK AND WAIT directly after the BAPI call, and then an explicit DEQUEUE, using the function module DEQUEUE_ALL. This will unlock after the COMMIT. The next time thru the loop, there should be no problems.

Hi Ramesh,

Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the 1st RFC call.

Try passing an upper case "X".

wait = <b>'X'</b>.

u have to call like this

<b>call dequeue_all</b>

after the COMMIT work.

 if i_return[] is initial.
 commit work and wait.
 call function 'DEQUEUE_ALL'.
