Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Tue, 22 May 2007 21:42:26 GMT

I had tried to use ME22N to run this BDC and was told it doesn't work. I am now trying ME22 running it as a BDC in the background. It runs great in the foreground but I get the following error when trying to run it in the background:

<b>Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached

Runtime error RAISE_EXCEPTION has occurred</b>

Thanks for your help!

Hi Michael,

As ME22N is an enjoy transaction, you cannot write BDC for that. Instead you can use BAPI.

Check this for sample code on BAPI.

Reward if useful.

Thanks

Thanks, I am not using ME22N, but the older transaction ME22 and am getting the error. I had tried the BAPI first but it does not work for the type of PO's we use here.

Thanks

Former Member — Tue, 22 May 2007 23:01:37 GMT

I have tried using the BAPI function module but is not not updating the record. All I am trying to do is uncheck the delivery complete box and it is not doing it. Not even when I run it from SE37.

Thanks

Mike

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Wed, 23 May 2007 13:48:45 GMT

Thanks for the input, I looked at function module ME_UPDATE_SCHEDULE_EKPO does not update the field I need....I need to update field ELIKZ in table EKPO.

Thanks

Mike

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Wed, 23 May 2007 14:00:23 GMT

Hi Michael,

You can use BAPI BAPI_PO_CHANGE to update EKPO-ELIKZ.

There are table parameters to set EKPO-ELIKZ.

POITEM-NO_MORE_GR = 'X'

POITEMX-NO_MORE_GR = 'X'

Regards,

Ferry Lianto

HI Michael

First of check whether there is Gui elements in ME22. If yes then disable then and then try to use BDC for the same.

Let me know if u haven't solved ur problem.

Need ur reward points.

i dont have access SAP now. Can send me the screen shot for ME22 screens. I will tell u how to disable.

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Wed, 23 May 2007 14:56:37 GMT

Thanks, I have tried that but it does not work. According to the documentation it will not update some PO's based on a firewall and certain types of invoicing. I tried to update other fields as well and they don't work either.

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Thu, 24 May 2007 14:39:18 GMT

Hi Ravi, can you now tell me how to disable the gui so I can run this BDC in the background?

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 13:36:25 GMT

No, we did not get the problem fixed. We are going to write our own function module that should work for us. It is not the best solution but we needed a way to set the flag.

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:18:25 GMT

I second that. Unless you have specific business needs I suggest

you go with the BAPI.

Re: Problem with background BDC - ME22

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:54:57 GMT

Hi Michael

Sorry for delay. Actually today only i saw this transaction.

The problem in this transaction is,we need disable the object navigator. To do this, Right click on this transaction ME22. U can find option call Truncate ON/OFF(I am not sure about the term Truncate. Just check there is a option ON/OFF).U need to OFF this option. Then u can able to Run this tcode.

or else u need to disable one option in SU01 Tcode. I will check and inform u soon.

Reward me if its useful.

Let me know if ur problem not sloved.

Regards

Ravi
