Partner Functions dropping during PO Create

[Former Member]

We have created an implementation named ZGL_STP_PO_CUST_ENH for definition ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In PROCESS_HEADER we call a method to validate fields.

• Validate/update foreign trade field values.

call method me->validate_fortrad_fields_header

exporting

im_header = im_header

importing

e_set_data = l_set_data

changing

cs_mepoheader = ls_mepoheader.

In VALIDATE_FORTRAD_FIELDS_HEADER we call the following function to get the partners in the PO.

DATA: l_xekpa TYPE ekpa.

DATA: li_xekpa TYPE TABLE OF ekpa.

CALL FUNCTION 'MM_READ_PARTNERS'

TABLES

x_ekpa = li_xekpa.

The problem is, when we call the MM_READ_PARTNERS function it causes partners to be dropped off the PO during PO create. I have commented out the call and the partners are not dropped.

Hi

Try passing export parameter APPLICATION = 'P' ,

this should return partner in x_ekpa.

Hi,

I'm having The same problem with the MF MM_READ_PARTNERS.

Can you help me plz ??

[Former Member]

Just had the same problem.

You have to pass parameter PARGR . Then it worked without dropping the partners.

   CALL FUNCTION 'MM_READ_PARTNERS'
      EXPORTING
        application               = 'P'
        PARGR                     = ls_t161-pargr
     TABLES
       x_ekpa                    = lt_xekpa.

Thank you so much Paul.  That worked perfectly in my case.  May I ask you how you found this out?

Well I think this was just a look into the where-used list. 3 years ago...

You can use FM "MM_DISPLAY_PARTNERS" instead of "MM_READ_PARTNERS" to avoid partner deletion problem.
