Transfering Substitution data trough BAPI.

[Former Member]

Hello !

I'm aiming to use BAPI to insert new records to IT2003 infotype (substitutions)

i only want to supply start time end time date and PERNR for the records - because thats all data i have and it should be sufficient (it is sufficient when manually inserting data trogh PA30)

Ah - all data are individual schedules.

So i use this small ABAP to fill interface tables :

DATA:
        geninfo like BAPI7031_1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
        intervals like BAPI7031_2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
        ret LIKE BAPIRET2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.


  geninfo-EXTSYSTEM = 'DEVCLNT010'.
  geninfo-EXTAPPLICATION = 'EXT'.
  geninfo-EXTDOCUMENTNO = '0001'.


  geninfo-EMPLOYEENUMBER = 6.
  geninfo-DATE = sy-datum.

  append geninfo.
  intervals-EXTSYSTEM = 'DEVCLNT010'.
  intervals-EXTAPPLICATION = 'EXT'.
  intervals-EXTDOCUMENTNO = '0001'.
  intervals-START_TIME = '080000'.
  intervals-END_TIME = '160000'.
*  intervals-DWS_INTERVALTYPE = ''.
  append intervals.



  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PTMGREXTWOSCHED_INSWCOST'
    TABLES
      WORKSCHEDULE_GENERAL_INFO       = geninfo
      WORKSCHEDULE_INTERVALS          = intervals
      RETURN                          = ret
            .
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
* EXPORTING
*   WAIT          =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN        =
          .
WRITE 'OK'.

Basicaally after that i have record in all 3 interface tables.

I run report RPTEXTPT to transfer data.

Report finishes whithout errors - says that 1 record was "booked".

After clicking on i icon (blue one - summary) it says that 1 record header was procesed but - interval records were.

Do you guys have any idea about the cause of this ?

My guess is i dont have all required data in the structures - but i have no idea where to look for each field explanation.... (SE11 dosent help much)

Thanks in advance !.

okay - so i investigatd further :

1. Record is inserted in "direct mode" when field DAILYWORKSCHED is set.

However i aim to supply only Start time and end time for interval - whithout schedule

2. When i run it in background mode it gives me error type S because PA2003-VARIA is hidden in my case - even if i supply empty field it it -it still wants to fill it

Can someone help ?

When i run the following code :

DATA:
        geninfo like BAPI7031_1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
        intervals like BAPI7031_2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
        ret LIKE BAPIRET2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
  DELETE FROM PTEX2003SPEC.
  DELETE FROM PTEX2003GEN.
  DELETE FROM PTEXDIR.


  geninfo-EXTSYSTEM = 'DEVCLNT010'.
  geninfo-EXTAPPLICATION = 'CATS'.
  geninfo-EXTDOCUMENTNO = '0001'.


  geninfo-EMPLOYEENUMBER = 6.
  geninfo-DATE = sy-datum.
  geninfo-WS_SPEC_TYPE = '01'.
  geninfo-DAILYWORKSCHED = 'WH'.

  append geninfo.
  intervals-EXTSYSTEM = 'DEVCLNT010'.
  intervals-EXTAPPLICATION = 'CATS'.
  intervals-EXTDOCUMENTNO = '0001'.
  intervals-START_TIME = '080000'.
  intervals-END_TIME = '160000'.
*  intervals-DWS_INTERVALTYPE = ''.
  append intervals.



  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PTMGREXTWOSCHED_INSWCOST'
    TABLES
      WORKSCHEDULE_GENERAL_INFO       = geninfo
      WORKSCHEDULE_INTERVALS          = intervals
      RETURN                          = ret
            .
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
* EXPORTING
*   WAIT          =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN        =
          .
WRITE 'OK'.

As a result i have DAILYWORKSCHED inserted ok but no hours,

My guess is that somehow interval data canot be hooked up with header data - but question is - why ?

I achieved what i was going for, however this bapi shows poor preformance for me - its slower than inserting by PA30 !

is there any way to speed things up ?

Im wondering if theres a way to insert one records that spans for a few days - ie ENDDA <> BEGDA - bacause now i create new header interval pair for each day and id like to insert more data at once - any ideas on this ?
