Update characteristic with multiple values - BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I'm updating batch characteristics using FM  BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE. It's working fine for characteristics that have only 1 value, but it's not updating characteristics with multiple values.

Example:

Characteristic: XX_COUNTRY

VALUE: CANADA

Characteristic: XX_COUNTRY

VALUE: CHILE

After program execution if you check trx MSC3N you only get value CHILE.

I tried to add multiple values with instance field like the code below but it's not working.

LOOP  AT mchb INTO ls_mchb

                          WHERE matnr IS NOT INITIAL

                            AND charg IS NOT INITIAL.

     ls_batch_char_c-charact    = 'XX_COUNTRY'.

    ls_batch_char_c-instance = ls_batch_char_c-instance + 1.

     ls_batch_char_c-value_char = ls_mchb-grw_loc.

     APPEND ls_batch_char_c TO lt_batch_char_c.

   ENDLOOP.

Is there any way to add multiple values for characteristics?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Emanuel.

Hi,

In MSC2N can You input multiple values ?

If not, please check characteristic in CT04 transaction.

I've made test and can provide multiple values using this FM without problems, part of code:

DATA:

   lt_allocchar  TYPE TABLE OF bapi1003_alloc_values_char,

   ls_allocchar  TYPE bapi1003_alloc_values_char.

     ls_allocchar-charact = 'ZNUM_SERT'.

     ls_allocchar-value_char = 'ABC'.

     APPEND ls_allocchar TO lt_allocchar.

     ls_allocchar-charact = 'ZNUM_SERT'.

     ls_allocchar-value_char = 'DEF'.

     APPEND ls_allocchar TO lt_allocchar.

     CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE'

       EXPORTING

         OBJECTKEY            = l_objkey

         OBJECTTABLE          = 'MCH1'

         CLASSNUM             = 'Z_FERT'

         CLASSTYPE            = '023'

       TABLES

         RETURN               = lt_ret[]

         ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW    = lt_allocnum[]

         ALLOCVALUESCHARNEW   = lt_allocchar[]

         ALLOCVALUESCURRNEW   = lt_alloccurr[].

       CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

Thanks!

It was a program error. I was not using correct data for the BAPI.

I have tried using the same BAPI for updating characteristics data with multiple values. Instance counter (ATZHL) should be specified and data should be placed correctly in their corresponding tables depending on the format  (NUM, CHAR, CURR)
