Function Module Creation

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for creating a Function Module to "create a Vendor". The transaction XK01 is currently used for creating a Vendor. But, we need a Function Module which uses the technology behind "XK01". Could anyone help me by explaining about the process of Creating a Function Module that uses the technology behind XK01. I hope you understand my requirement.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,

There are three possible ways to create a BAPI for vendor master.

1) Use BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE which is a online BAPI which directly calls the XK01 transaction.

But this cannot be used if ur looking for a offline BAPI which communicates with a NON-SAP system

2) Create a BAPI with the following function modules

VENDOR_INSERT: To insert the vendor in vendor master

NUMBER_GET_NEXT : To get the Address number based on the account group for vendor.

ADDR_SAVE _INTERN: To update the address based on the address number found above.

BAPI_BANK_CREATE To update the bank details.

But using these FM's are also not advisiable as the data integrity between the various tables associated with the vendor master may be lost.

3) Probably the best way is to do a BDC recording on XK01 using CALL TRANSACTION in background mode and use it in the BAPI.

You can choose which best suits your requirement.

Hi Vik,

Thanks a lot for your reply. The second way might be a bit helpful but, we are not so specific that we need it to be a BAPI. We need a Function Module, to create an online version of Vendor Creation using Webdynpro Java.

BAPI_Vendor_Create and the rest of the BAPIs similar to this are of no use for us. Because, they are just calling the Transaction "XK01", which is kind of no use for us. I hope you understand my requirement now.

Thanks alot for your help.

BAPI_VENDOR_EDIT Change Vendor Master Online

BAPI_VENDOR_EXISTENCECHECK Check existence

BAPI_VENDOR_FIND Vendor Matchcode

BAPI_VENDOR_GETDETAIL Vendor Detail Information

BAPI_VENDOR_GETINTNUMBER Supplies new internal vendor numbers

BAPI_VENDOR_GETPASSWORD Read the Entry for the Vendor Password

Hi Gopal,

What you can do is,

1) Do the Recording of XK01 transaction and code the BDC program using Call Transaction.

2) Now build a BAPI, to get the data from outside interface

3) In that BAPI call the Call Transaction program, or trigger an event to call the Call Transaction program.

You can use FM BP_EVENT_RAISE to trigger the Call Transaction program

Refer this BAPI ISIDE_SM_VENDOR_DETAILS_GET for Vendor details fields & structure to be used

Oh BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE is available

Hello,

thanks for your reply. As, I mentioned in my earlier post that, the standard BAPIs like BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE doesn't serve my purpose as they are just calling the Transaction XK01. I need to call this BAPI from webdynpro and create online vendor creation forms. I hope this makes it clear!!

Thanks alot.

Regards,

Gopal.
