BAPI - STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN

[Former Member]

Hello

We are using STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN to update PLM Work Order and Operation statuses. When the status is changed manually using IW32, a change record is created. However, using the BAPI there is not, even though the status gets changed correctly.

Can any one assist?

One of the import parameter of STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN is SET_CHGKZ. Pass 'X' to this parameter and a change number will get generated.

Thank you for the answer, but it didn't work. ABAP Changed the code but still no change record, any other ideas?

Hi, I know this is long after the question, but I have not seen any response to this.

This FM works 100%, but you have to call COMMIT WORK after a sy-subrc = 0 has been received from the FM.

PS: Remember to set SET_CHGKZ = 'X'.

Hello,

Late in the day for this reply but Ive had the same problem.

I used this FM when releasing production orders, followed through in debug and everything worked fine.....except that the status did not update.

But I also assumed that the FM was the end of the matter so did not select 'save' when closing CO02.

Make sure the user saves the production order or the status will not be updated.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nollie, after "commit work", it works.
