BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - AWKEY

[Former Member]

How do we form the field DOCUMENTHEADER-OBJ_KEY (BKPF-AWKEY)? I know that it is made up of the material document number and the year but how do I supply this in the BAPI? I do'nt know what the material document is.

Please don't just link to examples of using the BAPI unless they explain how you create the key.

There is usually a structure to fill the AWREF fill, for AWKEY = 'MKPF' the structure name is [MKPF_AWKEY|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=mkpf_awkey&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue].

To get this information look at table [TTYP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=ttypAWKEY&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] (SE16) where you will find the structure name and/or the name of a FM to display the sender document.+

For you request

- AWKEY = 'MKPF'

- AWREF = structure MKPF_AWKEY, with subfields BELNR and GJAHR from material document (MKPF/MSEG)

Thanks but I am trying to form the field so that I can create the document. I'm not sure how this will help being that the document hasn't been created yet.

If you want to post a financial document (BAPI_ACC_xxx_POST) related to a material document, the material document MUST exist or at least the number MUST be known. So you MUST do it in a step where this is true, like a in BADI MB_DOCUMENT_BADI method MB_DOCUMENT_BEFORE_UPDATE.

If some data are no longer available during the BADI execution, you must export them in memory and import in BADI, or any equivalent method.

I am trying to use this to simply create an invoice document which will be a transfer of funds from one GL to another. Therefore, there will not necessarily be a material document. I have been told that this BAPI will work for what I want to do. From what you are saying (a material document is necessary), it will not work.

Are you saying that I can't use this for what I am trying to do?

The material document is not mandatory, but when i read your question, i undestood that you needed it.<div class="jive-quote">I know that it is made up of the material document number and the year</div>You can of course use this BAPI with another AWTYP that don't need any link to a sender document.<br />

Take a look at <a class="jive-link-external" href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/306504" target="_newWindow">Note 306504 - Collective note: BAPIs for the AC interface</a><br />

When I try to create the document, using the BAPI, it tells me that I have to fill in the field OBJ_KEY but I have no idea how it is made for BKPF (buisness transaction RMRP). Do you have any idea?

'RMRP' stand for MM invoices, you need an invoice in SAP.

- AWTYP = 'RMRP'

- AWREF = RBKP-BELNR

- AWORG = RBKP-GJAHR

This code is used by MIRO and the like, and i'm not sure you can use it with this GL BAPI, if you have no purchase order, try to [simulate FB60|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=bapi+fb60&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue] with a type 'BKPF' or 'BKPFF' (look at OSS [Note 561175 - BAPI posting in accounting with FI as reference|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/561175])

If you have a purchase order, try to use [BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=bapi_incominginvoice_create&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue].

Thanks, I'll take a look at that BAPI. The reason I said I will be using 'RMRP' is because I was simply looking at an existing posting that I was trying to duplicate. However, these invoices are going to be created based off an invoice (we are reversing retention which was based on a PO).

I will award points once I get a chance to take a look at this.

I decided to go with a BDC call instead.
