date format not valid

Former Member — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:17:09 GMT

I'm trying to call BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 from an ASP .NET page

using SAP .NET connector. But, I keep getting the following message(V1 091)

in the

return table:

"Date / / is not valid"

Has anyone run into this?

Pass the date in the format YYYYMMDD

The format in BAPI is here

BILL_DATE	FKDAT	DATS	8

so it should not cross 8 chars

It looks like the date you are passing is blank, but needs to be filled in.

Should be noted that the format is YYYYMMDD.

Try supplying 00000000 whenever the date value is blank on your side.

Use FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL to convert MM/DD/YY to YYYYMMDD

Thanks,

Just check the date format of the date field in ur file. Pass the date to the BAPI without any delimiters
