Method MAINTAIN_BAPI of CMD_EI_API does not populate Tcode 'BP'

[Former Member]

Hello SAP Experts,

We are using method MAINTAIN_BAPI of Class CMD_EI_API to create Customer in ECC using SAP Portal through a form.

When the Customer Details are added on the Form in the Portal and the Form is submitted, the MAINTAIN_BAPI method is called and the relevant structures used in it are populated.

The Customer gets created appropriately in ECC(verified through Tcode XD03) and Entries are populated in the various Customer (KN*) Database tables in ECC.

But when the Customer is displayed using Tcode 'BP' , its details are not displayed.

In other words, although the Customer thus created can be seen using Tcode 'BP', its data in the various sections for eg. the Address Section are not populated in this Transaction.

However, after this if any change is made to the newly created Customer in XD02, like updating the Customer Name, the Customer Details miraculously show up when the Customer is displayed again using the BP Transaction code.

Please advise what is missing here. Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Damian

Hi Damian,

I realise this is quite an old thread, but did you ever figure out what was causing the issue?  I'm currently facing a very similar issue.

Thanks.

Hello both: we are facing a similar issue, but we do not get an ID in the BP transaction for the customer ID just created using method  MAINTAIN_BAPI in CMD_EI_API

Any idea?

Thanks
