Hello Kiran and John

I think there is no need to clone BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 because the BAPI does nothing else but calling <b>SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE</b> which itself is a BAPI (even if it is not called like a BAPI).

If you look at the coding of BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 you will see that creating sales order is indeed restricted to business object 'BUS2032'.

However, if you call SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE directly you should be able to create most, if not all, types of sales orders because IMPORTING parameter <b>BUSINESS_OBJECT</b> is optional.

Looking under the hood SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE you will see the following coding:

...
  if business_object ne space.
     perform i_check_type tables return
                          using sales_header_in
                                business_object.
  endif.
...

If you do not provide any business object (= space) then this check is not executed. Looking into the FORM routine you will find function module SD_OBJECT_TYPE_DETERMINE which determines the allowed business objects.

In conclusion, do not use the BAPI but use SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE directly (RFC-enabled). That is how I create sales order in a currently ongoing project.
