Error with BAPI BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to release

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to release a PM order with the BAPI:

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN with the table T_METHODS

CLEAR T_METHODS.

T_METHODS-REFNUMBER = 1.

T_METHODS-OBJECTTYPE = 'HEADER'.

T_METHODS-METHOD = 'RELEASE'.

T_METHODS-OBJECTKEY = ORDERID.

APPEND T_METHODS.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'

TABLES

IT_METHODS = T_METHODS

RETURN = MES.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'

and it gives the following error me :

"BAPI call must have a SAVE or DIALOG method"

Please help me,

regards

Hello,

It seems like you need to execute this fm on a dialog program, so you should look for another FM.

You can also check the FM code to find where is giving you that error and change it before calling the function. Sometimes on the sy structure there is a flag that says if the FM is called from a dialog. Maybe is that.

Bye,

I think you have to append one more row to your table T_METHODS where the object type should be ' ' and method should be 'SAVE'.

The BAPI documentation has explanation on how to save the data.
