Can BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST post A/P document type KN to multiple orders?

[Former Member]

We have been using an old BDC program to post documents to A/P. It uses transaction f-43. After an upgrade and requested enhancement there are a number of problems with using this program:

1. It won't post to multiple company codes within one document.

2. All line items get charged to the order number of the last line item.

I think we need to rewrite this interface to no longer use BDC processing. I was looking at BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to replace the call to transaction f-43. So I have a number of questions:

1. Am I on the right track?

2. Can BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST post document type KN?

3. Do I need to use table ACCOUNTGL to post to PM orders and internal orders? If so, can I post to multiple orders on one document?

4. Is there any chance you could provide a sample program that posts documents of type KN? There are a number of source code examples available for document type KR but none of KN.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

1. Definitely, BDC sucks.

2. BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST is most generic BAPI. SO it should be possible to post document with type KN. I would suggest to have a look at more specific BAPI BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST. I am not sure if this BAPI is suitable for your case. You can have a look at all BAPI_ACC_*.

3. In case of BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST you need to fill table ACCOUNTGL. I don't see any reason why you should not be able to enter different orders for different lines. I haven't tested it.

4. You should be able to find some examples here on SDN.
