some doubts

[Former Member]

Hi experts!

I have some doubts

How we find Business objects?

How we find a bapi for particular screen?

Is there any other way of finding an error in Call transaction except checking in BDCMSGCOLL?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jawad

you can find business objects using SE80.

Is there any other way of finding an error in Call transaction except checking in BDCMSGCOLL?

<b>No other Alternative way for this.</b>

Hi,

1) You can find the business objects in the transaction SWO1.

2) Check the BAPI transaction...Or try searching in SE37..with BAPI* with the appropriate transaction..like BAPIMATERIAL.

3) The other way is checking SY-SUBRC after the call transaction...

Thanks,

Hi

How we find Business objects?

Goto <b>SWO1</b> Tcode and press F4 you will get all the business objects

How we find a bapi for particular screen?

Use the Tcode <b>BAPI</b> to find all the BAPIs.

Is there any other way of finding an error in Call transaction except checking in BDCMSGCOLL?

No other way, you have to use this BDCMSGCOLL

hi Jawad

<b>Use of BAPI in Custom programs</b>

<b>Step 1</b>: First step is to identify the application area. Then go to the transaction code BAPI and obtain the corresponding BAPI.

Eg : if your dealing with a sales order , in the BAPI explorer , go to sales and distribution-> sales->sales order.

<b>Step 2:</b> Refer to the documentation of the method to know how to use the BAPI.

Eg : In order to create a sales order, select the BAPI CreateFromDat2. (BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1).

<b>Step 3</b>: Simulate the desired output using SE37 transaction. Do sample testing with the function module found. SAP does not specify flag population part to control the update. That you can achieve by some trial run of the function module.

<b>Example :</b>

Call function ‘BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1’

EXPORTING

Order_header_in = s_order_header

IMPORTING

Salesdocument = w_sales_docno

Return = s_return

TABLES

Order_items_in = t_order_item

Order_partners = t_order_partner

Order_item_out = t_order_item_out.

Here, in the ‘s_order_header’ structure we fill all the header data of the sales order to be created.

Eg:- s_order_header-sales_org = ‘FR03’,

s_order_header_distr_chan = ’01’. Etc..

In t_order_item table we fill all the item data of the sales order, eg. T_order_item-material = ‘M13321’,

T_order_item-plant = ‘0033’.

append t_order_item.

Similarly we fill, t_order_item_out,t_order_partner tables.

In the structure s_return, we will get the return messages from the BAPI , eg. ‘Sales order created successfully’ or

‘Error in item ‘020’’.

If the BAPI is successful, the number of the sales order created will be returned in the field, ‘w_sales_docno’.

Once , the BAPI is successful, to commit the changes to the database, we must use the function module,

‘BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT’.

Eg,

CALL FUNCTION ‘BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT’

EXPORTING

wait = ‘X’.

Thus, we can create a sales order, using the appropriate BAPI, and similarly, we can use BAPI’s for many other applications.

Hi Jawad,

1. You can view the business object using the transaction SWO1.

2. Finding a BAPI can sometimes be a pain. To search for standard BAPI's just type BAPI_*, type in a meaningful description and hit F4. If its your day, well you'll get it in the first hit. Or else, go through the list and search for BAPIs that would suit your requirements. And then, finally, what's SDN for :-). You can always post your requirements and your queries will be solved in a flash.

3. I'm not sure. I guess BDCMSGCOLL is the only option. Please post back if you find an alternative.
