Copy BAPI_PR_CREATE - Create Services/Limits

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Since we do not have the expected EHP on our system, BAPI_PR_CREATE doesn't provide us with the input parameters for Services and Limits. So, we are unable to use this BAPI .

We are expected to use a BAPI that is equivalent to tcode ME51N, so we can't use BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE.

We are planning to copy existing BAPI_PR_CREATE and use it to create Serrvices/Limits. ( We can check this functionality from other systems that have expected EHP)

Can someone suggest how feasible is this solution?

Thanks

Hi,

I believe the feasibility will be best decided by you considering the time and effort required to replicate the BAPI.

To copy the BAPI, you will have to copy the entire Function Group '2105'. Now, the effort is to copy all the objects as 'Z' and then activate the Function Group. So, it will consume a considerable amount of time.

Yes thanks.

I have around 10 days in hand.

My concern is mainly about other settings required once I have copied everything. For example, as of now this Function Module belongs to a Business Function that is different from the Business Function which is mapped to BAPI_PR_CREATE in EHP4

Can things like these create problem ?

Thanks

As you have noticed that there are additional scenarios mapped in the latest versions, so, EHP4 will have all the earlier corrections/notes pre-implemented. Also, new scenarios, better performance, etc. are the added advantages.

Also, as you are attempting to make a copy in customer namespace, the errors can be handled.

But, it is strongly recommended to think about the option of upgrading to the latest patch levels.
