BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA - Document not created

[anais_jaussaud]

Dear experts,

I need to create a contract (VA41 / Service Contract) using a Function Module. I have tried with BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA and entered basic mandatory parameters to be able to save the document :

• Import parameter CONTRACT_HEADER_IN, I have filled in :

Document type ;sales org / division / distribution channel; sales office; sales group

• CONTRACT_PARTNERS, I have filled in partner SP with one existing sold to party ID

The BAPI returns the following success message :

SALES_HEADER_IN has been processed successfully

SALES_ITEM_IN has been processed successfully

Object XXXXXX (40519482) has been saved.

However, the document is not created on VBAK. If I look for VBELN 40519482 in VBAK, it says "No table entries found for specified key."

I think I am missing a basic thing here. The BAPI returns a sucess with a document number but the document is not created.

Would someone know why?

Thanks a lot,

Anaïs

Hi Anais,

It may be something like we get "express document" error.

Sometimes in foreground when we create a sales order we got a message that "sales order xxxx is created/saved" but when we check this document in VA02 or VA03, document not found and not even at table level. It might be because of some checks, output issues or any pricing condition etc.

You can check in your SAP inbox if there is any message related to failure.

Or please try to create the contract in foreground using VA41 and verify if it is the problem while creating the contract using BAPI or in foreground as well.

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for your reply. I have indeed done the same in VA41 / foreground as well : creating a contract with basic info (sold to party + sales org) and contract is created without any error.
There is no error on ST22, is there any other log I need to consult?

For your info, it is very basic service contract, with no pricing condition, no PO number and so on...

For information, this has been resolved.

When using BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA, it needs to be followed by BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Thus, for a functional point of view, we need to create a sequence in SE37

and then execute the sequence: Execute first BAPI, then F3, then you will get directed to 2nd BAPI that you can execute.

Then, the document is saved in back-end.
