Creating Customer with a reference customer

former_member445996 — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 16:03:34 GMT

Hi All,

I need to create customers based on a reference customer in SAP. I am using FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL but don't see a parameter for specifying the reference customer. I tried to use BAPI_CUSTOMERCREATE_FROMDATA1 which has the parameter for reference but does not have other fields like Search Terms that I need to pass so I can't use this FM whereas the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL has all the fields that I want to populate but does not have the field for reference customer.

Does anyone know of any other FM or any place in FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL where I can specify the reference customer number and create the new customer based on the reference customer.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,

Please check the parameter in the BAPI..

*" VALUE(PI_COPYREFERENCE) LIKE BAPIKNA102

*" STRUCTURE BAPIKNA102

Thanks,

Nareen,

Thanks for your response. The parameter you mentioned is in FM BAPI_CUSTOMERCREATE_FROMDATA1 which I can't use because it does not allow some of the fields that I want to pass. I would like to use SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL but don't see a parameter for specifying the reference customer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
