BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE

[former_member599326]

Hi..

i m using FM "BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE" to create characteristics..

my table values as below..

CHARACTDETAIL

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3	Header 4	Header 5
CHARACT_NAME	DATA_TYPE	LENGTH	STATUS	VALUE_ASSIGNMENT
SVB_OTHR_S	CHAR	10	1	S

KEYDATE : 30.08.2012

CHARACTDESCR

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
LANGUAGE_INT	LANGUAGE_ISO	DESCRIPTION
EN	E	SVB_OTHR_S

CHARACTVALUESCHAR

Header 1
VALUE_CHAR
065AF
065AG

CHARACTVALUESDESCR

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
LANGUAGE_INT	VALUE_CHAR	DESCRIPTION
EN	065AF	ADC - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
EN	065AG	ADC - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

i m getting below errors..

Internal Error

Start characteristics maintenance

Start processing characteristic SVB_OTHR_S

Processing characteristic SVB_OTHR_S

Language-dependent value ADC - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL already exists in language E

i understand from error that the error coming because same description "ADC - ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL" is passed in table "CHARACTVALUESDESCR".. but my requirement is such that the description will be same for 2 char values.. is there any remedy for this... or it is a standard bapi.. so we have to leave with it ??

Regards,

Hi Santosh,

Actually, it is a system requirement to have characteristic language descriptions unique.

Exactly the same error message is thrown if we manually try to insert the same description for two different value codes, with CT04 transaction for characteristic management.

A possible solution could be to slightly differentiate the descriptions (for instance, a space more between two words in the second description, thus maintaining the same meaning).

Hope this could be of some help.

Bye,

Flavio
