BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE for update pricing

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE BAPI FM for update a contract.

In some case, the whole contract has not changed, I want only to recalculate the item prices because the items pricing conditions were changed (using transactions VK11/VK12).

It does the job when filling the field PRICE_DATE in CONTRACT_HEADER_IN & CONTRACT_HEADER_INX params. BUT only is the precedent value of this date was different in the contract.

Is there a way of forcing the pricing calculation in the contract (using this FM) even if the contract itself was not changed.

Thanks

Functionality
Using this method, you can change or delete contracts.

You can change header data, item data, schedule line data, contract data and configuration data.

In general the following applies:

1. Only enter fields that you want to change.
2. Mark the fields you want to change with an X.
3. Fill in the UPDATEFLAG field with a U.
4. Always enter the key fields when making changes, including in the checkbox list.
5. An exception is configuration. If you change this, you must fill it in completely.
6. Enter quantities and dates under schedule line data.
7. Possible update flags: U = change
                        D = delete
                        I = insert

You MUST enter the contract number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields when you make a change.
You must always enter the update indicator in the INQUIRY_HEADER_INX.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the efforts to help.

I have already read this help about twenty time. it doesn't answer my specific question.

I need to trigger the recalculation of the prices in the contract.

When filling the price_date field in the header to a new date, it works.

My problem is that the user needs sometime to recalculate the price more than once a day. if the date I give is equal to the pricing date in the contract, the BAPI wont recalculate the prices.

Do you have a clue?

Thank you very much.
