Create Contact Person via Function Module

[Former Member]

Hello,

I´m searching for a possibility to create a new contact person for a customer via function module.

It is possible using transaction VAP1: But how can this be done in background with a function module or class?

Thank you for any help,

Stefan

you can use BDC to create it in background.

OK, this will help us. Nevertheless, I´m wondering why there isn´t a BAPI or FM for this. SAP provides in the meantime nearly for everything a BAPI - but not for this (in my eyes) easy topic.

Stefan,

See the <b>BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1 / BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA</b>.

You can pass Contact Information of a customer there.

Hello,

thank you for this answer. We can use it for creation/change of new customers.

But how can we add an additional contact Person to an existing customer with these functions? All I can see are data structures of KNA1. I´d have expected a KNVK-like data structure!?

Do you have an example how to use it for adding a new contact person?

Thank you in advance,

Stefan

Hi,

Exactly I was talking about KNVK table entry of address type (3). But you check with BAPI <b>BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1</b>. It collects data for KNVK(address type 3) to pass it to <b>SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL</b>. If the BAPI is not working probably can you use Function Module SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL directly.

For that you may need to pass

POSTFLAG = 'X'.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL'
       EXPORTING
            I_KNA1                  = I_KNA1
            PI_POSTFLAG             = POSTFLAG
       TABLES
            T_XKNVK                 = T_XKNVK
            T_XKNVP                 = T_XKNVP
            T_YKNVK                 = T_YKNVK
            T_YKNVP                 = T_YKNVP

Hope this post will help you.

Hi Stefan,

Check this FM : BAPI_BUPR_CONTP_CREATE

Hi,

You can use BAPI_PARTNEREMPLOYEE_CREATE to create Contact persons for Customers or Vendors. It internally calls for VAP1 tcode.

Hello,

this will only start transaction VAP1 (as far as I can see), so that it´s not possible to create a contact person in batch/backend with it?

Hello,

this will not create a KNA1-Customer - ContactPerson but a BusinessPartner contact person. I found no possibility to create a normal KNA1-Customer - ContactPerson creation with it.

Thank you, this actually answered my question

Run BAPI_PARTNEREMPLOYEE_GETINTNUM and use the nuber generated for the BAPI_ADDRCONTPART_SAVEREPLICA.

Would be lovely to have some code passed then!

I'm currently creating contact person for Quality Notifications. They are created through VAP1 and I have been searching for a FM to do that.

Hi Stefan,

Did you get any solution in maintaining multiple contact persons(along with their private addresses) for a normal KNA1-customer. If so pl can you send me the code or suggestion on how you did this as i too have same requirement.

Please check this class, here

It is for vendors, but it should be easy to adapt for customers as well.
