Changing VBAP~NETWR VBAP-NETWR data with an abap program

Changing pricing info in VBAP

Hi all,

We have a program that is supposed to change the values of the NETWR and NETPR columns in the VBAP table. We check the VBAP data using SE16n and it looks OK. When the user tries to process the data with VF02 it seems to revert to its original value.

Any ideas why this is so?

Thanks in advance,

Luis

Hi,

Modifiing this table data through external program is not advicable, and more over the transaction VF02 will show the values by calculating KONV that is condition table data...

Thanks for your answer. I'm afraid that this seems to be a requirement from management. 😞

Any way I can do this, without having to call VF02?

Thanks again,

Luis

Sandra,

Thanks for your post.

Believe me, I agree with your point of view. My experience with SAP Dev. is limited to a few ALV query programs (I am mostly a Db2 guy) and I'm quite aware with the fact that you must not mess with SAP tables.

That said, I'm afraid that sometimes management decides on a whim that, "just this time", they want to try this or that, bypassing the external consultants. 😞

Regards,

Luis

Please, do not modify directly NETWR and NETPR!

There are plenty of options to influence these values by using customizing and VOFM routines.

Speak with a qualified SD consultant from your team, whoever asked to to develop the program which you mention needs to get their solution validated (and hopefully rejected) by a solution architect or a senior consultant.

377cae7333c044888184eb2537b4355e your management probably does not know very well how SD pricing works and what consequences such kind of change will have on the whole order-to-cash process, it is up to the consultants to provide a solution to a requirement by knowing what is the desired outcome.

Veselina,

Thanks for your comment. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment. Fortunately it seems that, after seeing these posts, they are ditching the requirement (I hope!!), so I´ll close the question.

Thanks again,

Luis
