BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN - Updating Multiple Components

[Former Member]

I have seen similar posts for this topic but none of them provide a resolution.

I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to update existing service orders with a related

PO number.  I need to update the field Unloading Point with the relevant PO number.

I am able to update the first component but not any subsequent ones.

Here is the code...

         "Prior to this I used BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL to retrieve the relevant data for the service order.

loop at at_socomponents assigning <component> .

    clear wa_methods.
    clear wa_component.
    clear wa_component_up.

    "do not include deleted components from the service order.
    check <component>-delete_ind <> c_delete_ind.

    wa_methods-refnumber = c_refnumber.
    wa_methods-objecttype = 'COMPONENT'.
    wa_methods-method = 'CHANGE'.
    wa_methods-objectkey(12)    = a_aufnr.
    wa_methods-objectkey+12(4)  = <component>-activity.
    wa_methods-objectkey+16(4)  = <component>-item_number .

    append wa_methods to it_methods.

    wa_component-reserv_no = <component>-reserv_no.
    wa_component-res_item = <component>-res_item.
    wa_component-res_type = <component>-res_type.
    wa_component-item_number = <component>-item_number.
    wa_component-activity = <component>-activity.
    wa_component-unload_pt = a_po_number.

    wa_component_up-activity = c_update.
    wa_component_up-unload_pt = c_update.

    append wa_component to it_component.
    append wa_component_up to it_component_up.

  endloop.

  clear wa_methods.

  wa_methods-refnumber = c_refnumber.
  wa_methods-method = 'SAVE'.

  append wa_methods to it_methods.

Then I call the BAPI.

The BAPI return table verifies that the execution completed successfully.  However, only the first component is updated, when I am trying to update all of them in the relevant service order.

I have searched for this solution at length, without success.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you,

I have finally figured this out.

In order to update (change) multiple lines I had to use the sy-tabix value for the refnumber for each of the lines.

See code below.

    LOOP AT at_socomponents ASSIGNING <component> .

    CLEAR wa_methods.
    CLEAR wa_component.
    CLEAR wa_component_up.

    "do not include deleted components from the service order.
    CHECK <component>-delete_ind <> c_delete_ind.

    wa_methods-refnumber = sy-tabix.
    wa_methods-objecttype = c_obj_typ.
    wa_methods-method = c_meth_chng.
    wa_methods-objectkey(12)    = a_aufnr.
    wa_methods-objectkey+12(4)  = <component>-res_item .

    APPEND wa_methods TO it_methods.

    wa_component-reserv_no = <component>-reserv_no.
    wa_component-res_item = <component>-res_item.
    wa_component-res_type = <component>-res_type.
    wa_component-material = <component>-material.
    wa_component-item_cat = <component>-item_cat.
    wa_component-item_number = <component>-item_number.
    wa_component-activity = <component>-activity.
    wa_component-unload_pt = a_po_number.

    wa_component_up-material = c_update.
    wa_component_up-item_cat = c_update.
    wa_component_up-item_number = c_update.
    wa_component_up-activity = c_update.
    wa_component_up-unload_pt = c_update.

    APPEND wa_component TO it_component.
    APPEND wa_component_up TO it_component_up.

  ENDLOOP.

  CLEAR wa_methods.

  "wa_methods-refnumber = c_refnumber.
  wa_methods-method = c_meth_save.

  APPEND wa_methods TO it_methods.

  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'
    TABLES
      it_methods              = it_methods

     .....

     .....

     .....

This was a real head scratcher for me.  This was not readily apparent in the documentation or in any post I was able to find.

Hope this will help someone else.
