Not able to update a contract using BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am tryin to use a BAPI to update the contract and for this I have coded the following:

v_ponumber = 'abc-123' .
   MOVE v_ponumber  TO poheader2-number.
    MOVE 'X'  TO poheaderx-number.

    MOVE '00001' TO po_item2-ITEM_NO.
    MOVE 'test text' TO po_item2-SHORT_TEXT.
    APPEND po_item2.
    MOVE '00001' TO po_item2_x-ITEM_NO.
    MOVE 'X' TO po_item2_x-ITEM_NOX.
    MOVE 'X' TO po_item2_x-SHORT_TEXT.
    APPEND po_item2_x.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CONTRACT_CHANGE'
  EXPORTING
    PURCHASINGDOCUMENT          = v_ponumber
   HEADER                      = poheader2
   HEADERX                     = poheaderx

 TABLES
   ITEM                        = po_item2
   ITEMX                       = po_item2_x


   RETURN                      = return2
          .
if sy-subrc = 0.
commit work.
endif.

in the return table I am getting the message which says that the contract has been updated but I went to see the contract was actually not updated.... any advise where I am missing?

Thanks,

I am not sure why it is not working?? Try for any other alternate function modules.

But i see one issue with your coding, always check the return table message type and use commit work, instead of sy-subrc check. This fails for BAPI's

Thanks for the reply Vijay, I was using that commit work just for the testing purposes, I will use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to do the actual commit.

Thnaks,
