Billing document creation bapi problem

[Former Member]

Hello all.

I created a function wich creates 2 documents, a sales document and a billing document referenced to the sales document.

It works fine almost allways. the problem is sometimes the sales document its not created and the bapi does not return any error messages.

Does anyone have any idea why?

Thank you

Nuno Silva,

Did you check the return structure?, some times it takes more than usual time to create a sales order (it depends on the system resource, validations etc). wait for couple of seconds before calling 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

If you would like to know whether this SO BAPI is success, before checking for billing document; check for Salesorder number returned from BAPI, if its blank assume that BAPI has failed.

Check out a sample code..

• Call SAP standard BAPI to create order

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2'

EXPORTING

salesdocumentin = salesdocumentin

order_header_in = order_header_in

order_header_inx = order_header_inx

IF sy-subrc = 0 AND

salesdocument <> 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'

EXPORTING

wait = 'X'

IMPORTING

return = d_int_return.

IF d_int_return-type EQ 'E'.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING d_int_return TO return.

APPEND return.

ENDIF

ENDIF.

Hello.

I am checking for both the exitence of an error message in the message structure of the bapi and the existence of a document number.

Is it possible that it returns an error message and still generates a document?

As far as my experience goes, NO. If you get error message then there won't be any document generated , hence no document number
