cmd_ei_api=>maintain_bapi adding contact to existing customer

[Stephen3]

Hi All;

I have the method cmd_ei_api=>maintain_bapi working and creating customers. I have written a custom FM to wrap around maintain_bapi o add contact people to an existing customer. I have it partially working. I can add a contact but the KNVK-PERNR number is blank after adding the contact. This means I cannot add a 2nd contact person. If I add the contact to the customer using t-code XD02, the PERNR field is correctly filled in by SAP.

Does anyone know how to get the method to create a pernr number? I have set the customer master task to 'M'odify and the contact task to 'I'. When I set the customer master task to 'I', I correctly get an error that the customer already exists.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Stephen

Hi, Stephen Herlick,

Did you solve your problem? I meet the same problem now. Can you share your solution. Thank you very much!

Hi;

The problem seems to be that the method does not get a new number for the PERNR field in the KNVK table. I did the following which essentially, gets a new number and assigns it to the PERNR field. Not ideal as I feel the method should be doing this for me as it does get a new seuqence number for the Customer Master Record. We really need SAP or Alain Bacchi to answer. Here is a snippet of code that I used.

Hope this helps.
