UPDATE Handling Unit using API_HANDLINGUNIT does not work.

tony_raimo2 — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 01:49:03 GMT

I'm trying to call the public API to update a Handling Unit in an S/4 2023 on-prem system. The GET operation works, however, the PATCH operation throws this error. Has anyone seen this error before?

{

"error": {

"code": "HU_RAP/066",

"message": "Operation UPDATE not supported for LO-HU",

"@SAP__common.ExceptionCategory": "Provider_Application_Error",

"innererror": {

"ErrorDetails": {

"@SAP__common.Application": {

"ComponentId": "LO-HU-API",

"ServiceRepository": "SRVD_A2X",

"ServiceId": "API_HANDLINGUNIT",

"ServiceVersion": "0001"

"@SAP__common.TransactionId": "8452C63109A70020E0066FDA3E13200B",

"@SAP__common.Timestamp": "20241114013306.193137",

"@SAP__common.ErrorResolution": {

"Analysis": "Use ADT feed reader \"SAP Gateway Error Log\" or run transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG on SAP Gateway hub system and search for entries with the timestamp above for more details",

"Note": "See SAP Note 1797736 for error analysis (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1797736)"

}

Here are some more details about how I'm making the call in PostMan:

Thank you,

Seems like you can't UPDATE a handling unit.

API Hub says you can "Create, read, delete and post goods movement ..." does not mention update.

Dude - where's my API?

The API documentation shows PATCH as a valid operation to update an HU. https://api.sap.com/api/HANDLINGUNIT_0001/resource/

Yes it does. Yet the error text says "Operation UPDATE not supported for LO-HU". 🤷🏻‍

Hi Tony,

please be aware that the HU API was developed for the public cloud and is only enabled to work in on-prem / private cloud environment when you implement BAdI /SCWM/EX_API_CTRL_USE to suppress this error message. Only then you can use the patch call to update weights and dimensions of an existing HU in the on-prem System.

For more info check SNOTE 3216941.
