Problem with BDC on VA02

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with bdc on va02. After hitting enter on the first screen it pops an info message "consider subsequent douments". It doesn't get recorded in recorded. Hence I am not able to run the transaction with no screen mode. Please help me to suppress the info message

Hi Navin,

These kind of messages and pop ups are precisely the reason why use of BDC for updating transactions is NOT advisable.

If you were to bypass such messages, you would have to put a check to see why the message appears (in this case probably because the sales document flow for the sales order in table VBFA has some documents) and then write a logic to either handle the message or not.

Instead i would recommend you use the BAPI functions provided by SAP to change the sales order.

Have a look the BAPI for sales order change attached to the business object BUS2012. For this goto transaction SWO1 and enter the BUS2012 business object. Then goto methods and look for the "change" method. Double click on the method and look at the BAPI used to implement the method. Go ahead and use this method in your program as against a BDC.

I am sure it will be a much better option.

Otherwise if you still want to proceed with a BDC, please debug at the point where the message/pop up appears to ascertain reason for the same and then incorporate the same check in your program to handle the pop up.

Regards,

Aditya
