DOCUMENT NUMBER AFTER COMMIT IN BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi everybody.

Im using the bapi BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE to create a notification in SAP. After the process I only get a temporary notification number. After commit, could I get the real notification number in some way?

Regards and thank you so much

Hi,

do you have a look into export parameter: NOTIFHEADER_EXPORT?

Hello,

You need to follow the sequence of BAPIS as below:

    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
        notif_type         = c_type
        notifheader        = x_header
      IMPORTING
        notifheader_export = x_imp_header   " Notif Number
      TABLES
        notitem            = t_notitem
        notifcaus          = t_notifcaus
        longtexts          = t_longtexts
        return             = t_return_create.

    SORT t_return_create BY type.
* If the error is returned, the same is sent back to MES
    READ TABLE t_return_create INTO x_return_create WITH KEY type = c_error.   " c_error = 'E'
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      x_return_mes-type     = x_return_create-type.
      x_return_mes-message  = x_return_create-message.                   " Notification could not be created.
      APPEND x_return_mes TO t_return_mes.
      CLEAR  x_return_mes.
    ELSE.

* Changing the Status to In-Progress
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_PUTINPROGRESS'
        EXPORTING
          number = x_imp_header-notif_no.

* Save the Notification. Else the nitification number is seen but not in the transaction.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_SAVE'
        EXPORTING
          number      = x_imp_header-notif_no
        IMPORTING
          notifheader = x_imp_header.

* Commit to Database
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
        EXPORTING
          wait = 'X'.

Afte this you will get the actual number.

Hope this helps.

As per my understanding temporary notification number and real notification number will be same .

And also notification number is avaliable in various paramaters of BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE. PLease check
