Some experiences implementing Note 123774 - Cost planning: batch input sessions are terminated?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have the following problem while processing the transaction kp06 in batch input session:

- Field KPPOB-VALUE(x) doesnot exist in the screen SAPLKPP0

- No Batch input data for screen SAPLKPP0

I found a note on the SAP support page:

Note 1234774 - Cost planning: batch input sessions are terminated.

Error: 00344 "No batch input data for screen &&"

SAP strongly recommends not to use batch input programs for manual planning.

Cause and prequisite: this is caused by a programm error.

Solution (just a part): the program change is not contained in the standard system, since other already existing batch input programs can possibly not executed anymore.

My questions are:

- have you already encountered this problem?

- how did you solve it?

- have you ever implement an sap note? if yes , how did you process?

- have you already implemented this note?, if yes, how did you process?

- how about the warnings from sap that this should be avoided?

- do you have an alternative solution for this problem?

- please just give me all information you have about this problem and how you solved it.

Thanks.

Hi Maria,

Try using BAPI

BAPI_COSTELEM_CREATEMULTIPLE

BAPI_COSTELEMENTGRP_CREATE

BAPI_COSTELEMENTGRP_ADDNODE

Hi,

can you be a little bit specific? What problem did you have and how did you solve it using these BAPI?

I am new to this please explain.

Thanks.

Well,

I got this on SDN only

you have to pass the values for mandatory fields like import parameter 

CONTROLLINGAREA and inside

tables COSTCENTERLIST,

many fields are mandatory .

I guess this sample can give u an idea.

DATA:  t_cclist TYPE STANDARD table OF bapi0012_ccinputlist,

            wa_cclist TYPE bapi0012_ccinputlist,

wa_cclist-costcenter = 'TST413'.

wa_cclist-valid_from = sy-datum.

wa_cclist-valid_to = '99991231'.

wa_cclist-person_in_charge = 'DEVON'.

wa_cclist-department = '000000032328'.

wa_cclist-costcenter_type = 'O'.

wa_cclist-costctr_hier_grp = 'FLD0000006'.

wa_cclist-comp_code ='0132'.

wa_cclist-profit_ctr = 'P0000016'.

wa_cclist-addr_title = 'TITLE'.

wa_cclist-addr_name1 = 'NAME 1'.

wa_cclist-addr_city = 'NAME 2'.

wa_cclist-addr_district = ' '.

wa_cclist-addr_country = 'CA'.

wa_cclist-addr_region = 'BC'.

wa_cclist-jv_venture = '100000'.

wa_cclist-jv_rec_ind = 'BI'.

wa_cclist-jv_equity_typ = 'E01'.

wa_cclist-jv_otype = 'C001'.

wa_cclist-name = 'MANATOKAN HOL 100/06'.

wa_cclist-descript = 'MANATOKAN HOL 100/06C-14-62-6W4M SL5-14'.

APPEND wa_cclist TO t_cclist.

CLEAR wa_cclist.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_COSTCENTER_CREATEMULTIPLE'

EXPORTING

controllingarea = 'BH01'
TESTRUN = ' '
MASTER_DATA_INACTIVE = ' '

TABLES

costcenterlist = t_cclist

return = t_ret

READ TABLE t_ret WITH KEY type = 'E' TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.

IF sy-subrc IS NOT INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.
ENDIF.

Hi,

The possibility of the problem occurring is already told by SAP and it is recommended not to use batch input programs for manual planning. Try the BAPI's as mentioned . Should help in your case.

Thanks for your reply. I have never used BAPIs before. Could you give me a simple example how to use this for my problem?

Are they alternatives to BAPIs? if, yes Which one?

[Former Member]

Please keep posting. I dont have a solution yet.

Hi,

The BAPI's are function modules that has to called in a custom program. The item details are passed via import parameters and tables. The bapi's used for this transaction is

K_COSTELEMENT_CREATE

K_COSTELEMENT_CREATE_DB_UPDATE

K_COSTELEMENT_DELETE_DB_UPDATE

K_COSTELEMENT_REFRESH_BUFFERS

K_COSTELEMENT_SHOW

K_COSTELEM_BAPI_CHANGE

K_COSTELEM_BAPI_CREATEMULTIPLE

K_COSTELEM_BAPI_GETDETAIL

K_COSTELEM_BAPI_GETLIST

BAPI_COSTELEM_CREATEMULTIPLE

BAPI_COSTELEMENTGRP_CREATE

BAPI_COSTELEMENTGRP_ADDNODE

BAPI_COSTACTPLN_POSTACTINPUT

The BAPI's would have documentation that you can see in SE37. This would give you a fair idea on how to use them. Best would be to test them individually or writing a test program to see which one suites you best.

Cheers,
