CREMAS IDoc Error: BNKA-ORT01 is not an input field

[former_member670773]

Hello,

We need your help in resolving an issue related to CREMAS IDoc for vendor master creation/change.

In the CREMAS IDoc, we are using valid bank country & bank key which is also tagged as a house bank. In the Bank master data (BNKA table), if the city field (ORT01) is populated (i.e. if it is not blank) & the bank key is also tagged as a house bank, we are facing the following error:

'Field BNKA-ORT01. is not an input field'

Please let us know, why is it that we are facing this issue, when the city field (ORT01) field is populated in BNKA table.

thanks & Regards
Vamsi

In very simple terms, you have included a field in the IDoc and, based on a segment qualifier or some other fields, SAP believes you want to enter/update this field. However, in the screen sequence that is triggered by IDoc (good old BDC, essentially), this field is not available for input.

If you don't need to update a field then simply don't include it in the IDoc. "Keep it simple" is a general approach that works well with the IDoc interfaces.

There is no singular solution for these errors since they can be odd-balls triggered by a very particular combination of data. If you are expecting a different solution then you'd need to troubleshoot in your system directly.

Make sure to check "Test" flag when processing the IDoc and it should take you through the screen sequence step by step. Get help from an ABAPer and use Google to find more information, if necessary.

vamsikrishna.vedula Eventually use the special value

/

(also known as the NODATA character)

in the IDoc field ORT01 so that to indicate that the field is not to be changed.

sandra.rossi - good point. Now that you've mentioned it, I recall using this a couple of times in the past. I'm pretty sure any of my IDoc memories are well suppressed. 🙂
