No services created while using BAPI_PO_CREATE1

[Former Member]

Hello experts!

I am using the standard BAPI BAP1_PO_CREATE1 (via LSMW with IDOC) to create pruchase orders with services. The order is created but the services are not created. I think I did everything OK with the package numbers of the father- and underlying services (see data below). I don't get any error message, the services are just not there and I can see in SE16N that no entries are generated for table ESLL. The header and items are created and seem OK. I think I don't need to enter account assignment as my category is "U", but I put some data in to see if it helps, which does not.

The data I currently put in:

Does anyone have an idea why the service are not created? Is there a way to analyze what is happening? Pain in the butt that there is no error message!

Thanks...

Did you try and debugg where it is getting stuck.

Well, I tried to debug.

I debugged just the BAPI and everything seems OK. The problem with executing the BAPI from SE37, that the commit work is not executed, so I cannot see if the BAPI would have worked correctly when I execute it directly. The "temporary" tables seem to fill correctly.

When I call the BAPI from the IDOC, it is done in the background and I cannot arrive in the debugging of the bapi. It might be that the IDOC to BAPI transfer is not working properly.

I will try to do some more debugging but maybe someone would see a problem with my data or had the same problem before (and hopefully solved it...).

CU,

OK, I found the error. For someone who might have the same problem:

In POITEM we defined:

PCKG_NO Package number 0000003808

But in POITEMX we did not mark the X for the same field. So missing is the following:

POITEMX

PCKG_NO Updated information in related user data field X

With the missing entry, for some reason the system then creates the PO-item with the exact data that is entered in PCKG_NO, but it does not create the services.

With the added entry, the system ignores the given data (3808) and generates its own number for PCKG_NO based on the last number used. And then it also creates the services with their own generated package numbers.

Enjoy...
