Copy line items from Master Agreement to SubAgreement

[Former Member]

Dear all,

As a requirement, we need to create a dummy line item at master agreement and subagreement level to be able to publish them to ERP without need

to complete line items (they are completed in ERP via a development).

We have created master agreement templates with a dummy line item but at subagreement level, templates are not available.

What we are trying to develop is a script on post_create at agreement level to copy line items from Master Agreement to SubAgreement. We are able to get Master Agreement line items and copy them to the SubAgreement, but the subagreement is not created. This is the code we are using:

import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanHomeIfc;

import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanIfc;

import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListTypeIBeanHomeIfc;

import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListTypeIBeanIfc;

import com.sap.eso.api.contracts.ContractIBeanHomeIfc;

Mst_agreementBean = doc.getParentIBean();

lineItemCollectionSub = doc.getLineItems();

lineItemCollection = Mst_agreementBean.getLineItems();

collectionsize = lineItemCollection.size();

colln = Mst_agreementBean.getCollectionMetadata("MA_LINEITEMS").get(Mst_agreementBean);

colln2 = doc.getCollectionMetadata("MA_LINEITEMS").get(doc)

newProject = Mst_agreementBean.getIBeanHomeIfc().createFromAnother(Mst_agreementBean);

newMember = colln.get(1);

//  Get Values Line Item

assCat = newMember.getAcctAssignCategory();

actLimP         = newMember.getActualLimitPercent();

delAdCity       = newMember.getDeliveryAddressCity();

delAdCount    = newMember.getDeliveryAddressCountryRef();

delAdDist       = newMember.getDeliveryAddressDistrict();

//... (all fields included in the script)

// Create Line

newMember2 = newMember;

AgreementHome = IBeanHomeLocator.lookup(session, doc.getObjectReference());

AgreementHome.upgradeToEdit(doc);

// Set Values

newMember2.setAcctAssignCategory(assCat);

newMember2.setActualLimitPercent(actLimP);

newMember2.setDeliveryAddressCity(delAdCity);

newMember2.setDeliveryAddressCountryRef(delAdCount);

newMember2.setDeliveryAddressDistrict(delAdDist);

//... (all fields included in the script)

try{

colln2.add(newMember2);

AgreementHome.save(doc);

AgreementHome.downgradeToView(doc);

collectionbean = colln2.get(0);

logInfo("Value of  collectionbeanSub " + collectionbean );

}catch (ApplicationException e){

logInfo("Error " + e.getClass() + ". " + e.getMessage());

}

When we try to create an Agreement under a Master Agreement (clicking Add on Agreement tab), following error message is shown related to the line in blue:

Facility=local4;sessionid=4e73bb8e73304d6284816f93f4e04522a7c387b; tenantid=#tenant.ecb#;username=LUGUELL; exception=Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``// **   import com.sap.odp.api.doccommon.masterdata.ValueListValueIBeanHomeI ...

Any ideas what is causing the error? What are we missing on our code to copy line items?

Many thanks,

We managed to create a line item at VALIDATE script, but not at POST_CREATE. Either it is a bug or it is not possible at POST_CREATE script.
