Vendor Create using call transaction

[Former Member]

Hi!

Since there is no BAPI to create a Vendor (XK01) without GUI (BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE uses call transaction and brings up a GUI), I wanted to try call transaction to create a vendor without GUI. The problem now is, that the screen shown by the Batch-Input Recorder for XK01 is different from the screen using XK01 directly. So far, I recognized, that the filed for "house number" is missing. Can anybody help me here? Goal is to create a vendor without GUI from an external system using a RFC connection.

Thanks,

Konrad

Hello Konrad,

you can use the Enterprise Service SupplierERPCreateRequest_In.

You will need EhP 4 do do this.

Make sure that the switch for "central address management" is switched on in the initial screen.

perform dynpro
      tables bdcdata
      using:
     'X' 'SAPMF02K'     '0105',         "Create Vendor: Initial Screen
      ' ' 'USE_ZAV'                 'X'.

Hi!

Could you please give me a little more information about this. Right now, I'm using call transaction together with a bdcdata-table to insert my values but I have now idea what your perform dynpro call would be and how I can use it...

Thanks,

While you are recording the transaction XK01 using SHDB, in the initial screen of XK01, you will have a check box named 'Central Address Management' at the bottom. Click that checkbox and start recording. Thats what Rob mentioned.

Wow, I haven't noticed this little checkbox but it does the trick!!

Many thanks to all of you...

HI,

U can try this BAPI..

call function 'VENDOR_INSERT'
  exporting
    i_lfa1        = 
    i_lfb1        = 
    i_lfm1        =
  tables
    t_xlfas        = 
    t_xlfb5        = 
    t_xlfbk        =
    t_xlfza        = .

call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

Yeah, I read about this function but it is mainly not recommended to be used since it operates directly on the database. Maybe I will try it if the call transaction scenario does not work for me!

Thanks,

Konrad
