Issue with FM : BAPI_MATPHYSINV_CREATE_MULT

[Former Member]

HI,

I am using the function module post physical inventory docuemnt.

There is one parameter where in you can pass the max number of items that you want on the document.

I have tired passing 999 and 99999 but the time it posted only 300 items system default limit.

Has any one ran into the same issue before?

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATPHYSINV_CREATE_MULT'

EXPORTING

head = l_wa_head

maxitems = v_max_count ( 999 or 99999)

TABLES

items = it_item

return = i_it_messages.

Thanks,

hi.

This is due to a limit in the function MB_GROUP_INVENTORY_ITEMS

the code here is

21 IF MAX_POSITIONS IS INITIAL.

22 MAX_POSITIONS = '300'.

23 ELSEIF MAX_POSITIONS > '300'.

24 MAX_POSITIONS = '300'.

25 ENDIF.

meaning that you may limit below 300 but not above it. I looked for notes and find one adding the max limit to 333 , but that's more or less the same.

There are a few good reasons to keep the nr of items down..

When you come to post teh differences you are limited to 999 postings to fi and each item with a gap requires 2 .. so it takes you down to 499 items as a good maximum.

And in the process of registrering the count you will also find better performance if the # items are "not too high"

And finally.. You are limited to the max nr of items = 999 ..due to the 3 digits item nr ..

So we have decided to live happily with the limit of 300..

Good luck..
