Update document flow

Former Member — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:33:35 GMT

Hi Geeks,

Is there any chance that we can add the document flow using a bapi or a FM after creating a returns order.

Initially I am getting the document flow after copying a sales order using BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY. I am deleting all the line items and inserting new line items using BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE. I am not able to see the document flow. Somehow its getting erased. Could somebody help me with this..

Thanks,

KIran.

Hi,

I think this is correct.

As per logic once you delete all line items and add new line items, you are actually changing the Sales Order. So , from that point onwards all the entries relating to that Sales Order will be removed which link it with Document Flow.

I think instead of doing that you should create a new Sales Order and if you process it , it will have it's own Document Flow.

Just a question : If you delete all line items what remains in the Sales Order?? I think after you delete the line items the Sales Order itself is useless, so if you add new line items it's as good as creating a new sales order so why not create one then ?

Hi Nishant,

Its just not a single step and I am doing a 5 step procedure for returns for which I have to create a return order from an existing return order. For that I have tried different options and finally came to copying that order..deleting all the line items and inserting the new line items.

You've suggested me to create a new sales order instead of doing all this. It doesnt serve my purpose. Anyway thanks for your time.

Regards,

Kiran.

Try RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW_UPDATE. Check its where-used list to understand how to call this function module.

I know I have used this before but it is just been a long time back. It works. See if you need a commit after your call and also see if the information you are passing is correct (like line numbers, document number in internal format etc).

Hi Srinivas,

I am using all the fileds i have to populate before calling the fm. I dont know, i might be missing some. When copying the sorder and deleting all the line no's its deleting the document flow and when i am entering the new lines its not ending up with document flow once i use this fm as well..if u still remember how u used this fm can you plz let me know.

Thanks,

Kiran.
