Hi,

The problem probably lies in the DATE_TYPE field of the REQUIREMENTS_SCHEDULE_IN structure.

Please refer to the the BAPI documentation. The problem

was related with date type.

The documentation says that :The requirements date of the configuration supporting point (REQUIREMENTS_CHAR_IN-REQU_DATE) must correspond to the requirements date of the schedule line (REQUIREMENTS_SCHEDULE_IN-REQ_DATE).

Do not create any schedule lines on non-working days, as these will be automatically moved to a workday.

I think the problem lies here.

Hope it will be useful.

Thanks,

Sandeep

You can use the following values for the period indicator DATE_TYPE:

1: Day
2: Week
3: Month
4: Posting period (if defined in material master)
5: Planning calendar (if defined in material master)

Dear Member

Adding value to the Sathish Answers

Period indicator cannot be converted

We are Getting above issue in any of this FM " BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CHANGE,BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE, BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_GETDETAIL

Because period indicator should be used in Numeric 1 ,2,3, or 4 not Days for D, Week for W or Month for M

Problem will solve if maintain above data
