FM to update custom fields (extended structure CI_EQUI) in table EQUI?

[Former Member]

HI,

My requirement is to create a device/meter programmatically and update 'Z' custom fields in table EQUI include CI_EQUI in the table.

I have two requirements

1. How to create equipment or any FM to create equipment (as we make it in IQ01, I have to do it do it programmatically)

2. Is there any FM to update custom fields (structure CI_EQUI)

Help me if anyone has worked on similar requirement or have any knowledge on this.

Thanks,

Amey

Hello...

Here are some suggestions which hopefully will be of use to you...

1. Function module BAPI_EQUI_CREATE

This module is used for creating a new piece of equipment

2. Customer-specific fields of the CI_EQUI enhancement are changed by the

user exit EXIT_SAPLIE01_005.

3. Enhancement ITOB0001

This customer enhancement enables you to enter additional master data

for technical objects such as equipment, serial numbers, and functional

locations. For this purpose, you can use transaction CMOD to generate one of the

include subscreens assigned to the customer enhancement, which then

appears on the tab for "Other data" (screen 1080 in function group ITO0).

Hi Olivia, Thanks for your reply.

But, I had already found FM BAPI_EQUI_CREATE but did not help me in updating custom fields am not sure if this FM helps in updating the custom fields, because I did not find any solution.

The exits that you have mentioned in for online update. My requirement in to update through my custom development (not through standard transaction).

In anyone gets more detail on this please could you share.

I am facing the same issue. I have custom fields in EQUI table (CI_EQUI). I know we can use customer exists to update these custom fields.

However, I want to update these fields from a custom report. In specific, is there a BAPI that we can use to udpate fields of EQUI table?

Did you look at the other functions in the group?!?  Did you use transaction BAPI?!

William - Thank you for your reply. I found two BAPIs by using transaction BAPI-BAPI_EQMT_MODIFY & BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE. However, I do not think these are capable of updating any custom fields in CI_EQUI. Also, nothing useful in the function group as well.

Thanks.

Hi Makarand ,

Inside BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE , parameter DATA_GENERAL , do you see your custom fields ? Normally ,BAPI_ITOB has same custom fields as in EQUI (like they have same customer include fields).

Also, did you set corresponding DATA_GENERALX for the fields which you wish to change before running this FM ?

Please let poltu know if you are able to update these fields using parameter DATA_GENERAL of BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE.

Hi AM,

The BAPI_itob is not having my custom fields.

I also tried creating a standalone FM using Equipment_save.

But it shows abend message.

    call function 'ITOB_SERIALNO_LOCK_SINGLE'
    exporting
*      I_HANDLE         = 'X'
      i_matnr        = lv_matnr
      i_sernr        = lv_sernr_inp
    exceptions
      not_successful = 1
      others         = 2.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
  endif.



  lw_equi_new =  lw_equi.

  call function 'OBJECT_SET_ACCESS_LEVEL'
    exporting
      id_objnr = lw_equi-objnr
*     ID_EQUNR =
      id_level = 'V'
*     ID_RESET =  GC_FLAG-NO
    .


call function 'DEQUEUE_ALL'
exporting
   _synchron       = 'X'
          .


ls_itob_object-datab = sy-datum."valid_date.
append ls_itob_object to lt_itob_object.

  call function 'EQUIPMENT_SAVE'
    exporting
      i_activity_type   = 'V'              "V - Update, H - Insert
      i_itob_type       = '02'             "02 - Equipment, 03 - Serial
      i_equi_old        = lw_equi
      i_no_data_check   = 'X'
      i_sync_asset      = 'X'
      i_success_message = 'X'
      i_commit_work     = 'X'
    changing
      c_equi_rec        = lw_equi_new
*      c_eqbs_rec        = lw_eqbs_new
    exceptions
      err_data_check    = 1
      others            = 2.

This shows "Internal error in buffer management for technical objects"

not able to recify this.

Hi ,

Have you tried  'EQUIPMENT_UPDATE'  fun module.

Hi Riyas,

That FM is not having the custom fields.

Anyways I have solved the issue.

We can update the custom fileds added using

ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE_SINGLE

ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE

for single or multiple lines

Thanks.
