​Runtime Errors COMMIT_IN_POSTING

[Former Member]

I want to create Purchase order based on material document in transaction MB1B,

1. IF_EX_MB_DOCUMENT_BADI ~ MB_DOCUMENT_BEFORE_UPDATE
2. IF_EX_MB_DOCUMENT_BADI ~ MB_DOCUMENT_UPDATE
3. EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001

I call "BAPI_PO_CREATE" function in Badi and exits above, I get the following error.
Many thanks in advance for your help

Category ABAP programming error

Hi everyone,

I copied the problem with the BAPI_PO_CREATE function as ZBAPI_PO_CREATE and ran it as a background,

[FredericGirod]

if you have copied the function, maybe you could try to set asynchronous

call function in update task ..

it seems something is doing a comit, at the wrong moment

Hi,

Don't use commit work with this BAPI, You must call BAPI_PO_CREATE function module as

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE' IN UPDATE TASK. Otherwise It will give dump. Don't your

Try to call the BAPI_PR_CREATE1 in background task so that it creates a separate task.

In this case commit is not required. The task will start after commit has occured in the current transaction.

I don't really understand the way you say it.

I'd say: if one uses "commit work" during the update task, that triggers COMMIT_IN_POSTING. That is logic because an update task is being triggered via commit work, so commit work inside commit work is non-sense. C.f. ABAP documentation of COMMIT WORK.

Using IN BACKGROUND TASK (tRFC/SM58) is possible and should be executed before the standard commit work too (can also be executed inside the update task but that doesn't change anything).
