Order Entry (VA01) to a batch process

Former Member — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:28:07 GMT

I am looking at turning order entry into a batch process. I will have many flat files (each being an order with many line items) stored in a directory and I want to run a batch program to grab those files and create orders based off those files. Can somebody direct me to the right place? Is there something already setup that I can use/modify?

Regards,

Davis

Hello Davis,

You can use BAPI FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1 to create your sales orders.

Search for this FM in the forum, you will have the information you want.

Naimesh, thanks a lot! I knew there had to be a BAPI out there but a quick search on SDN didn't produce anything. From the first glance, this looks like it will do the job!
