BAPI Questions about creating new DIRs

[Former Member]

1. I'm using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 to create new DIRs for a document type Z03. However, when I try to use the same BAPI to create new versions for existing DIRs for this same document type I get the error E26 014 "Document type Z03 can only assigned numbers internally". I assume due to our Z03 configuration I will have to use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2 to create a new version for an existing DIR, correct?

2. How do I use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 to create long text for the Description field (Document Data tab)? I'm trying to use the tables parameter LONGTEXTS but I'm obviously missing something.

We're on R/3 4.7.

Thanks,

1. BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 should also work for creation of new version. Check if u have versioning on or not for Z01. Probably note "1018184" should help u.

BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATENEWVRS2 is lso a gud option if u want to copy some data from previous version of DIR.

2. u need to set "X" for usage of long text assignment in the BAPI.

Points Appreciated.

I have the same issue, works fine for new DIR version creation when executed by se37 but gives error when made RFC call. Returns error as "Document type XXX can only be assigned numbers internally". Please suggest how did you solve.
