. bapi to create customer

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am having problem finding a right bapi for create a customer.

I am using "bapi_customer_createfromdata1" to create a customer. Problem is i couldn't find a structure to pass sales org. data as well as partner functions.

Please help me. Feel free to ask me questions.

Thanks,

Diwakar.

Hello Reddy

The BAPI creates the new customer based on a template customer. Most of the business-related data are copied from this reference customer which you have to provide in the mandatory IMPORTING parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE. This structure contains the reference customer and the sales area:

SALESORG Sales Organization

DISTR_CHAN Distribution Channel

DIVISION Division

REF_CUSTMR Reference customer

The reference customer must exist in the sales area. The new customer will be created in the same sales area.

Kind Regards,

Uwe

Hi,

The way is using multiple BAPI's.

bapi "bapi_customer_createfromdata1" is used to create customer with reference customer number and then send the information to bapi "sd_customer_maintain_all" for changing the the values.

Still having problem passing parameters.

When i am sending partner information(knvp) to "sd_customer_maintain_all", it is giving abap dump assertion_failed.

I tried to debug the program but i couldn't find the error.

values i passed to bapi sd_customer_maintain_all

internal table of type <b>fknvp</b>.

MANDT sy-mandt 
KUNNR st_knvp-kunnr 
VKORG st_knvp-vkorg 
VTWEG st_knvp-vtweg 
SPART st_knvp-spart 
PARVW st_knvp-parvw 
PARZA 
KUNN2 st_knvp-sp_kunnr 
LIFNR

Appended line by line to the table.

Reward points if found helpful....
