BAPI_PRODCAT_SAVEHEADREPLICA

[Former Member]

Has anyone gotten BAPI_PRODCAT_SAVEHEADREPLICA to work in a custom batch program outside of ALE? I can't see how this baby can possibly function.

I'm writing a program to create and populate new product catalogs based on some criteria. I've successfully used BAPI_PRODCAT_SAVEITEMSREPLICA in the past to populate EXISTING catalog nodes (areas) but now I need to create the layout and areas programmatically from a selection screen.

If you're using the bapi and creating a new product catalog you have to populate for example, bapi input tables AREAS, AREANAMES and there corresponding "X" tables. But those area numbers in the structure are brand new and the bapi tries to validate them against table TWGLV. But the areas (database field TWGLV-SORTF) don't exist yet. I'm trying to create new nodes!

I have not been able to resolve this issue.

For now, I'm manually creationg the catalog via tcode WWM1 and then populating the nodes via a program with the item bapi.

If you find a solution please let me know.

Thanks

Len
