BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST - Reference Document Number

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to post documents in a program. After the documents are posted I see in transaction FB03 and

the document is visible but the Reference Document Number is empty.

I checked the return table and it has the message "Document posted successfully: BKPFF 180000004030002012 QASCLNT010".

I found this thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/1367599

And I added the parameters obj_type, obj_key, obj_sys without any value.

But the reference remains empty after that change.

I filling the following fields:

DOCUMENTHEADER:

bus_act  

username 

header_txt

comp_code 

doc_date  

pstng_date

fisc_year 

fis_period

doc_type

ACCOUNTGL:

itemno_acc

gl_account

item_text 

comp_code 

plant    

fis_period

fisc_year 

pstng_date

value_date

tax_code  

costcenter

ACCOUNTRECEIVABLE:

itemno_acc

customer  

gl_account

comp_code 

pmnttrms 

bline_date

item_text

tax_code

CURRENCYAMOUNT:

itemno_acc

currency   

amt_doccur

amt_base  

tax_amt

Am I missing something? I appreciate any guidance.

Karina,

Are you populating field REF_DOC_NO for DOCUMENT HEADER. ?

No, in document header I'm just populating fields:

bus_act , username, header_txt, comp_code, doc_date, pstng_date, fisc_year, fis_period, doc_type.

You need to pass the REF_DOC_NO to the DOCUMENTHEADER. This field is responsible to update the reference field in the acc document.

Excellent, problem solved!

Thank you so much for your help.

[Former Member]

so then what make you think that system is going to populate ref document number by itself ????

Hi,

In general if you do not know which fields to populate in BAPI so as to get the desired field, follow the procedure. In most of the cases you will get the field required to be populated to get the desired field.

In this case you want to get the value in BLPF-XBLNR. So You know it has to be populated in BAPI in the header structure 'DOCUMENTHEADER'. so Se11--->'DOCUMENTHEADER' . This has been defined as LIKE 'BAPIACHE09'. So double click on 'BAPIACHE09'. Find ( Control F ) XBLNR. This is appearing against the field 'REF_DOC_NO'. This is useful because most of the BAPI's are very 'Pooerly' documented.

I hope you wont have such issue in future for any of the BAPI's.

Hi Raju, I assume you mean BKPF-XBLNR. Thanks for this really useful tip.
