BAPI or process to Release an Appropriation Request?

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the ABAP world and I'm really stuck on this.

What I need is to recreate the process of Appropriation Release programmatically.

Basically is to emulate the process that happens when you click the release button on the Control Data tab on transaction IMA2N (attached is a screenshot of the button whose functionality I need to emulate).

I've found a  BAPI that should be the one that executes that process:

BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETSTATUSVARNT

The only documentation I've found says:

"Setting of User and System Status on Variants

  EXPORTING

    appropriationrequest =      " imak-posid    Appropriation Request Number (Formatted for Coding Mask)

    apprequestvarnt =           " imav-varnt    Variant of Appropriation Request

    activity =                  " j_vorgang     Object Status

*   test_run = ' '              " bapi_appreq_aux-testrun  Execute Test Run

* TABLES

*   return =                    " bapiret2      Return Parameter

But when trying to run it, I have no idea what is the appropriate ACTIVITY parameter value I need to pass in order to make it change the Status.

I've already searched on the other topics and the only one that I've found redirects me to a dead link:

Can anyone help me to understand what parameters I need to send to that BAPI in order to Release the AR?

Or if that is not the correct BAPI can you let me know what the correct would be?

Thanks beforehand to you all.
