SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to create a sales order of Order Type 'ZDR'.

I am using a std BAPI

Business Object BUS2032

Method CREATEFROMDAT2

Message Type SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Basic Type SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

When I try to execute it i am getting the following error.

'Unpermitted combination of business object BUS2032 and sales doc. category L'

Kindly let me know wat could be the pblm?

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Hi,

I think there is no need to clone BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 because the BAPI does nothing else but calling SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE which itself is a BAPI (even if it is not called like a BAPI).

If you look at the coding of BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 you will see that creating sales order is indeed restricted to business object 'BUS2032'.

However, if you call SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE directly you should be able to create most, if not all, types of sales orders because IMPORTING parameter BUSINESS_OBJECT is optional.

Looking under the hood SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE you will see the following coding:

...

if business_object ne space.

perform i_check_type tables return

using sales_header_in

business_object.

endif.

...

If you do not provide any business object (= space) then this check is not executed. Looking into the FORM routine you will find function module SD_OBJECT_TYPE_DETERMINE which determines the allowed business objects.

In conclusion, do not use the BAPI but use SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE directly (RFC-enabled). That is how I create sales order in a currently ongoing project.
