Test a Bapi

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I need to figure out a Bapi for Puchase order create, which I assume is Bapi_Po_create.

I would like to figure out how I can test the Bapi and how can I find out the mandatory fields for this.

Any help would be appreciated with points

Regards,

goto SE37 and specify the BAPI...

Try specfying the values in various parameters... Now try to execute and if the mandatory fields need to be specified it doesnot run but asks for the fields...

hiii

simple way is go to SE37-->enter FM name ->press display->select import...here can see a column called OPTIONAL.if it is marked then fields are not mendatory or else compulsary fields.

best way to test BAPI is debug mode.and check return parameters.it will take time but you will get to know whole data transfering process.

Hi,

Please use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 instead of BAPI_PO_CREATE. the latter one is obsolete.

This code will help you to know which fields can be used to create PO. To find the mandatory fields, you can check SE37 -> pass on the BAPI name and check the export, import and tables parameters. If optional is not selected, then you have to pass value to them.

gs_poheader-ref_1 = delivery.

gs_poheader-creat_date = sy-datum.

gs_poheader-created_by = sy-uname.

gs_poheader-langu = sy-langu.

gs_poheader-doc_date = sy-datum.

IF gt_delitem[] IS NOT INITIAL.

gs_poitem-shipping = space.

gs_poitem-tax_code = gv_taxid.

gs_poitem-po_unit = gs_delitem-meins.

APPEND gs_poitem TO gt_poitem.

ENDLOOP.

• Create Purchase Order.

IF gs_poheader IS NOT INITIAL.

REFRESH gt_return.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'

EXPORTING

exppurchaseorder = gv_ponum

TABLES

return = gt_return

poitem = gt_poitem

• Check for error messages

LOOP AT gt_return INTO gs_return WHERE type = 'E'

OR type = 'A'.

EXIT.

ENDLOOP.

IF sy-subrc <> 0 AND gv_ponum IS NOT INITIAL.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'

EXPORTING

wait = 'X'.

ENDIF.

• Return the values to Calling Program

IF gv_ponum IS NOT INITIAL.

purchaseorder = gv_ponum.

IF gt_poitem IS NOT INITIAL.

LOOP AT gt_poitem INTO gs_poitem.

CLEAR gs_item.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING gs_poitem TO gs_item.

gs_item-po_number = gv_ponum.

APPEND gs_item TO po_items.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

Hello

All the inputs which are required for the corresponding dialog transaction (ME21N) are mandatory for the BAPI, too.

While it is possible to test the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 using transaction SE37 (Function Builder) I can highly recommend to write a simple eCATT script (transaction SECATT ) which just calls the BAPI (FUN pattern) because you can evaluate the returned messages much easier and faster.

Regards
