BAPI to PARK accounting document

Former Member — Mon, 21 May 2007 18:44:38 GMT

Does anyone know conclusively whether BAPI BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST can be used to PARK an accounting document as well as POST one? Or if not this BAPI, is there another one? (I am trying to perform the PARK function of FB50.)

I am creating a posting interface and the specification requires to park documents for later review and posting, rather than posting them. From other posts on SDN I know I can use a BDC but would prefer a single interface.

Thank you for any comments,

Bob

Answer to my OSS message:

A parked document with ACC-Bapis (bapi_acc_*) is not possible.

This interface is for posting only. It is completely different from

the manual posting and parking transactions, and its functionality

is limited in comparison.

In the documentation for this BAPI, there is also a reference to:

More informationen is available in the Interfaces to Accounting documentation in the R/3 Library (under Cross Application Functions ->

Interfaces to External Systems).

Hope this helps some other person who wants to know.

(Maybe I'm only one of a few people that would like to use a BAPI to park accounting documents, but it would probably be helpful to know if there are more. If you ever needed or now need this functionality please post a reply to this message.)

You are not unique. We have exactly the same need.

I haven't tried it but the documentation for RFBIBL00 says that it supports parking documents.

Thanks, I had run across RFBIBL00 in my original search., but RFBIBL00 does not use a BAPI to effect a parked document.

Hi,

I have search exhaustedly as well for an Idoc or BAPI that will park documents.

You can using Idoc FIDCCP02 but this is really not recommended as it is a very old idoc and has been around a long time. <b>I opened a message related to this and SAP themselves recommended BDC for parking documents</b>. This is what i have done. This is not ideal but i could not find any other way.

If any new development come about in this area, please keep me informed.

Hey Bob,

I am facing the same scenario here where in i have to park the FI document using BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST...i did some tweaking around and found if we change the BSTAT field to 'V' in the user exit EXIT_SAPLACC4_001 and activate it..it might work...but i need your suggestions on this...because BSTAT = V signifies that the document is parked...right

Please correct me if i am wrong...

Sam, I will do some further checking. What I am most concerned about is the document might actually be posted but only the status is overridden to indicate parked. And then posting the parked document may result in a double posting. Have you checked out the resulting document?

In any case, you may be onto something.

Hi Sam,

I had already completed this using FBV1 with a BDC. In some other recent posts, it seems other people also are parking by setting BSTAT to 'V' in T_ACCIT in the user exit. I can't check further without creating the user exit. If I have a chance I will try.

I would check is to be sure account balances do not change when you post with BSTAT set to V.

I decided to try this and have several issues.... My userexit is not being called when I execute the BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST. Review of the documentation indicates neither it nor BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST is in the list of update BAPIs containing the exit. I am also concerned that BSTAT is in the T_ACCIT line item table rather than the ACCHD table.

Since the userexit did not trigger, I interrupted the program at the place where the BAPI calls the customer function using debug, and forced the T_ACCIT-BSTAT value to V for each of the accounting lines in a test entry. The document posted, “hit my budget”, and shows in BKPF with a status V but now cannot be displayed with FB03, says parked document cannot be displayed, FBV0 says document does not exist…

Seems changing the status this way is playing with fire. Does someone know something I don’t that makes this work?

Thanks,

Bob

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the reply...Are u sure that the user exit EXIT_SAPLACC4_001 does not get called with in the BAPI BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST...if that is the case then how did u do it thru FBV1 BDC...do u have any sample code that i can look at for that BDC...because I have to park the FI document and have the same requirement that u have..

truly appreciate ur effort...

Thanks

Hi Sam, Yes, I did it through a BDC call transaction FBV1, and found code I started with here on SDN at But modified extensively for our account structures...

I can't copy all my code, but will give you some things to look for:

1) if you do your dates like this, they will format correctly for the users date settings in Sustem->User profile->Own data , otherwise the call transaction may fail due to invalid date formats...

*document date

reformat date for input

WRITE p_je_hdr-bldat TO h_date.

CONDENSE h_date NO-GAPS.

PERFORM bdc_field TABLES t_bdcdata

USING 'BKPF-BLDAT'

h_date.

2a) Watch out for fields in Standard SAP but hidden in your implementation

*batch input document ID - hidden at FCS

PERFORM bdc_field tables t_bdcdata
USING 'FS006-DOCID'
'*'.

2b) watch out for fields hidden by settings for transaction FB00 --> this is user dependent. Find out your site's FB00 defaults

*removed from screen by settings in FB00

**doc currency

PERFORM bdc_field TABLES t_bdcdata
USING 'BKPF-WAERS'
p_je_hdr-waers.

3) watch out for screens based on posting key

screen depends on posting key
if posting key is for a Vendor

IF p_t_je_lin-bschl = '40' OR

p_t_je_lin-bschl = '50'.

scrn_id = '0300'.

if posting key is for a Vendor

ELSEIF p_t_je_lin-bschl = '31' OR

p_t_je_lin-bschl = '22'.

scrn_id = '0302'.

ENDIF.

PERFORM bdc_dynpro TABLES t_bdcdata

USING 'SAPLF040' scrn_id.

4) you may have to set and clear the FMORE field for the account assignment sub screen.

in the batch input, there is a check box to
activate the account assignment subscreen.
but this field is not on vendor screen0302

IF p_t_je_lin-bschl = '40' OR

p_t_je_lin-bschl = '50'.

PERFORM bdc_field TABLES t_bdcdata

USING 'DKACB-FMORE'

'X'.

ENDIF.

5) watch out for account dependent screen required fields, and available fields... In the example below, Business area is derived from cost center, unless cost center input field is not available. And the cost center field is not available if the account field status group is one of the indicated ones, so I had to fill business area instead.

if Field status group is Z001, etc. - look up in SKB1
cost center and functional area fields are
not present on input subscreen
otherwise cost center required, also
functional area, if not defaulted from cost ctr.

n_10chr = p_t_je_lin-hkont.

SELECT SINGLE fstag FROM skb1 INTO h_fstag

WHERE bukrs = p_je_hdr-bukrs AND

saknr = n_10chr.

IF h_fstag = 'Z001' OR

h_fstag = 'Z007' OR

h_fstag = 'Z011'.

business area - required for asset BS accts
if business area entry is populated use it, otherwise
construct from cost center-- first 4 chars
if cost center is present. Otherwise will be blank

IF p_t_je_lin-gsber <> space.

PERFORM bdc_field TABLES t_bdcdata

USING 'COBL-GSBER'

p_t_je_lin-gsber.

ELSE.

PERFORM bdc_field TABLES t_bdcdata

USING 'COBL-GSBER'

p_t_je_lin-kostl(4).

ENDIF.

ELSE.

(cost center is filled)

I had to work through these by recording the BDC's and reworking after the Financial team informed me of the FB00 settings. When recording BDC's, BE SURE TO CHECK THE SIMULATE BACKGROUND MODE check box. This causes the fields to appear the same as will be done when submitting the transaction call.

I'm still looking into the idea about using the BAPI with the BSTAT = 'V' but although people say to try, no one seems to have claimed success.

Hope this helps,

Bob

Also, I found this:

Re: Uploading Data to FBV1 Transaction - URJENT

not a BAPI but:

you could use the function modules 'POSTING_INFERFACE_START', 'POSTING_INFERFACE_DOCUMENT', 'POSTING_INFERFACE_END'. They do the same as RFBIBL00 and can deal with different posting keys document types and so on.

Hey Bob,

Thanks for the reply...I will try doing the BDC lets see where i reach with it...but the idea of setting BSTAT = V is really something to think off..I believe if it works then it will be like a custom bapi where in we just pass BSTAT = V in the user exit and the document is parked..also i checked from my end the user exit works...also after calling BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST u have to call commit work..then only it will display...

But please do correct me if i am wrong...its my first exposure to BAPI's and BDC..so still have a learning curve...

Re: BAPI to PARK accounting document

Former Member — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:22:24 GMT

Sam, a couple things....

I have tried with BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST and you are using BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST That may be my problem. But I can't switch easily.

My CMOD enhancement function from EXIT_SAPLACC4_001 does not execute from BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST . my breakpoint never triggers, debug did not step through it,.

&----

*& Include ZXACCU15

&----

break ungerr.

READ TABLE extension INDEX 1.

IF extension-field1 = 'BAPI-PARK'. "<<to know it comes from my prog

LOOP AT t_accit.

t_accit-bstat = 'V'.

MODIFY t_accit.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

But while debugging I found the call thru the BTE RWBAPI01 does trigger... the following code in my program sets BSTAT to V

n_10 = 0.

LOOP AT p_t_je_lin. "<- doc lines

ADD 1 TO n_10.

wa_ext1-field1 = n_10.

wa_ext1-field2 = 'BSTAT'.

wa_ext1-field3 = 'V'.

APPEND wa_ext1 TO gt_ext1.

ENDLOOP.

Call BAPI for load the data

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST'

EXPORTING

documentheader = wa_dochdr

TABLES

accountgl = gt_gl

accountpayable = gt_vendor

currencyamount = gt_curramt

return = gt_return

extension1 = gt_ext1.

But after posting, the document will not display with FBV3 or FBV0, and FB03 says can't find parked document with that number. But it exists in BKPF and BSEG... with status V. And my budget availability is reduced, indicating the document actually posted.

That is the end of it for me unless I find out something new, and I have to move on to another task.

To all:

Function Module Preliminary_posting_fb01 is called internally for parking. I haven't yet rewritten my BDC based code to use this module, but when I do, I will add another post to this thread to advise results.

Ganesh,

I can't (not allowed) to just post my code or I would have... On page one is the link to the source I started with from SDN and some good pointers. Start there....

Also, I am working on rewriting using the function module above (Preliminary_posting_fb01) and will advise results when done. It may be an alternative...
