BAPI's and error handling.

former_member332696 — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:37:26 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am pushing to use a BAPI on a project I am working on where we are going to create and change sales orders from an external application that will call the BAPI. The only issue is that if there are errors, we want SAP to store them so we can process the errors directly in SAP in a similar fashion to BDC's. Some people here want to use a BDC for the order process whereas I want to use the BAPI. I've used BAPI's before as a means for realtime data processing but never had a request to have error handling as part of it. Can this be done? And if so, how?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris Castillo ,

Your requirement is not possible using BAPI. According to the SAP Standard functionality BAPI will save a transaction (commit) or it will give the error information back.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

Hello,

You can handle errors in bapi too, as there is a table called Bapiret2 where all the errors will be stored. You classify them in to different errors like E, A, W etc.

And process that internal table later to roll back the updates etc.

If bapiret2 gives u sucess messge as S then call bapi_commit

Try out......good luck

Hi Chris,

We are having a similar scenario,

My suggestion is, once you have all the required sales order data to be passed to the BAPI, store this data as records in a custom table ( as flat records, with key fields, like the date, PO # , customer, file name , etc ) and this can be a back up. If the BAPI fails to create SO, you can have these orders stored into the database as a backup for reprocessing using either BDC or BAPI.

bapis hav a return table which hold all kinds of messages, u can filter out error messages and handle them in sap.
