function module EBBS_ITEMS_READ doesn't exist in ECC 5(SAPNetweaver)!

[former_member195355]

Hi,

In our 4.6B system we have a few programs that use function module EBBS_ITEMS_READ.

Unfortunately this function module no longer exists in ECC 5 and our programs no longer work!

SO I've tried to find what SAP has done to replace these function modules and I've had no luck!?

I then thought that I could copy the function module into ECC 5 as a 'Z' funcion module but EBBS_ITEMS_READ calls about 20 other function modules that are also missing.

I am really stuck on how to recraete this functionality in ECC 5. Does anyone have any good ideas or tips?

Please help!!!!!

Hi Lokesh,

Function module 'EBBS_ITEMS_READ' exists in function group EBBS but in ECC 5 most the components that are used by 'EBBS_ITEMS_READ' are missing - table structures, other function modules are all gone.

I don't know how to recreat its functionality and that's what I need help with...

Any other ideas?

Thnaks!

Hi Robert,

Sorry to disappoint you, but this functionality has been removed.

As you certainly are aware of this functionality belongs to SD functionality for RRB - Resource Related Billing. In 4.5 a new solution for RRB was developed - the DIP, Dynamic Item Processor. Have a look at trans ODP1 in config or SAP Help for further info.

This functionality was removed already in 4.7 Enterprise and, in my opinion, SAP has stated this quite clearly since several years.

Now, if you still have own Z-program relying on the EBBS function group you quite obviously face a big problem. RRB now uses the DP9x, (x = 0, 1, 5), transactions and not the good old VA90 anymore. Have a look at package VPK for info about FM and other stuff for DP9x solution.

My best advise is to ask a functional consultant about this. I guess that DP9x is already used in your ECC system. If not then this must be configured and a cut-over plan has to be developed. This is quite some work - I have just done all this conversion and cut-over for a company and it has taken some 6 months calender time with all internal communication, config, etc etc needed.

Sorry, no other way, to the best of my knowledge working in this area (amongst other) since a good 10+ years both function wise and also having done a lot of programming as well.

Feel free to ask follow up questions.
