Sales order output triggering

[former_member7856]

Hello Experts,

I am have a requirement to set sales order header object status through Custom program . I am achieving this using FM STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN . I am facing a problem , whenever I am setting the status , its Not running any output determination process ( Status which I am setting says " Completed " or "Reschedule" ).

For starters, it is quite risky to update the Order status from a Custom program(have seen some VBUK issues before).. having said that.. what you are doing using the STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN function is probably just updating table JEST, JSTO and the likes.. You can try changing something simple like a description or add a text that 'Document Set to complete/released using Custom Program YYYYYYY' in the Order using maybe BAPI_SALESORDER_UPDATE(or CHANGE - not in front of the system) and see if the Outputs then trigger..
