Function module for variant config

[Former Member]

Hello,

Is there any BAPI or function module to change variant configuration values.

Thanks,

Hello Vinod,

Thanks for the reply, it was very useful.

I am able to successfully change variant configuration values in a material using function module CUCB_INITIALIZER, CUCB_SET_CONFIGURATION and CUCB_CONFIGURATION_TO_DB., but when I try to create it in a material, it gives a sy-subrc = 0 but in the material master, it does not show. MARA-SATNR is also blank. When i try to create it manually from MM02 or again through the program, it gives me an error. Should I use additional function modules to modify material to show that it now has variant config values?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Bala,

I am wondering if you have been able to fix this. I am having the same issue. I can neither see the SATNR field populated nor fill configuration values. Please let me know how it worked.

Thanks

Hi All,

You can use the FM 'BAPI_UI_GETDETAIL' to read the Characteristic Grouping detail in CU50.

You can use the FM 'BAPI_UI_SAVEM' or IDOC 'VCUI_SAVEM02' to create Characteristic Grouping tabs in CU50.

Hope this solves your query.

Hi kumar bala,

Look at the below link it may useful for you

Hi,

Using BAPI 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE' you can change the characteristics values.

See the Function Module documentation for passing required input parameters.

Yes Friend there are function modules but unreleased ones. I hope u wont mind me pastng the code but plz go through the code it basically reads the configs and then updates values for some characteristics in config.

• READ VALUES MAINTAINED FOR THE CHARACTERISTICS

CALL FUNCTION 'CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION'

EXPORTING

instance = lv_instance

IMPORTING

ibase = lv_ibase

configuration = lt_configuration

eo_cbase_ref = lref_eo_cbase_ref

EXCEPTIONS

invalid_input = 1

invalid_instance = 2

instance_is_a_classification = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

• Copy the configuration into local internal tables.

LOOP AT lt_configuration INTO lw_lt_configuration.

lw_lt_values_tab-values[] = lw_lt_configuration-values[].

APPEND lw_lt_values_tab TO lt_values_tab.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

• Determine the Internal characteristic for the character name ATNAM from DB Table CABN

SELECT SINGLE atinn INTO lv_atinn FROM cabn WHERE atnam = lv_atnam.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

• COPIES THE VALUE OF THE INSTANCE

CLEAR: lv_count.

• Update CUOBJ or VBELN + POSNR to KC_CUOBJ / KC_ORDER in the local internal tables before

• updating LT_CONFIGURATION[].

LOOP AT lt_values_tab INTO lw_lt_values_tab.

lt_values[] = lw_lt_values_tab-values[].

IF lv_count GT 0.

• CLEAR lv_instance. "Instance to be copied only in header not in child nodes

EXIT. " Exit the loop as only for the first item the CUOBJ needs to be saved.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT lt_caseboth INTO lw_lt_caseboth.

• Read the symbol id(CABN-ATINN) based on key ATNAM.

SELECT SINGLE atinn INTO lv_atinn FROM cabn WHERE atnam = lw_lt_caseboth-atnam.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

LOOP AT lt_values INTO lw_lt_values WHERE atinn EQ lv_atinn.

• WHEN UPDATE KEY IS 'CU'

IF lw_lt_caseboth-mode EQ lc_cu.

lw_lt_values-atwrt = lv_instance. " Update KC_CUOBJ

ENDIF.

• WHEN UPDATE KEY IS 'SO'

IF lw_lt_caseboth-mode EQ lc_so.

lw_lt_values-atwrt = lv_vbeln_posnr. " Update KC_ORDER

ENDIF.

• Commit the changes from Work area to the Internal Table

MODIFY lt_values FROM lw_lt_values.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF. "( when ATINN read correctly)

ENDLOOP.

• Move the value of lt_values[] back to the lw_lt_values_tab[].

lw_lt_values_tab-values[] = lt_values[].

• Now modify current row of lt_values_tab[] from the work area.

MODIFY lt_values_tab FROM lw_lt_values_tab.

ADD 1 TO lv_count.

ENDLOOP.

CLEAR lv_count.

ENDIF.

• Make the changes in the table lt_configuration, too.

CLEAR lv_counter.

• COPY THE MANIPULATED VALUES FROM THE LOCAL INTERNAL TABLE BACK TO LT_CONFIGURATION[]

• SO THAT THE CHANGES ARE SAVED.

LOOP AT lt_configuration INTO lw_lt_configuration.

ADD 1 TO lv_counter.

READ TABLE lt_values_tab INTO lw_lt_values_tab INDEX lv_counter.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

lw_lt_configuration-values[] = lw_lt_values_tab-values[].

MODIFY lt_configuration FROM lw_lt_configuration.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

CLEAR lv_counter.

• Once the values have been changed in the temp. variable make thechanges in database.

CALL FUNCTION 'CUCB_CHANGE_CONFIGURATION'

EXPORTING

root_instance = lv_instance

CHANGING

inserted_or_changed_instances = lt_configuration[]

EXCEPTIONS

invalid_input = 1

invalid_instance = 2

instance_is_a_classification = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

so basicall u see theres an itab lt_configuration which has a field VALUES which is also a table and so once u get the characteristics values you may modify them and then make teh changes using CALL FUNCTION 'CUCB_CHANGE_CONFIGURATION'

Hi Prasenjit,

I got the same the requirement , I found your code very useful . I followed the same and i could retrieve and change the values in the lt_configuration[] . But wen i am using 'CUCB_CHANGE_CONFIGURATION' , the changes are not reflecting in Material VC .

'CUCB_CHANGE_CONFIGURATION' is returning Sy-subrc = 0  . but no changes in material VC .

Kindly help me  on this. Waiting for your reply

Thnx in advance .
