hello,

has SAP provided any BAPI for parking a document(FI/MM)?

will SAP provide PARK BAPI?

it would be very helpful if a BAPI for parking be available in future releases since there is a standard parking transaction already existing... wont you guys agree??

anyway, if i have been looking in the wrong places then can someone direct me where i can find a Parking BAPI so that we can make an inbound interface with SAP (4.7)

thanks!

Hi Rurik,

SAP does have a BAPI for Parking Documents under MM. At least it does for Invoices and related documents (corresponding to transactions MIR7 etc). Check out BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK and the entire list of BAPIs under:

Material Management > Purchase Order > Incoming Invoice

It does not, however provide any BAPIs (as I know) under FI (corresponding to transactions FV60 etc).

This is for 4.6C, though I believe that 4.6B and above should work.

Hope this information helps.

Hi Crapus Maximus,

Thank you for your response.

You are definitely correct on the BAPI for parking an invoice in MM... but how about FI? I do believe that FI has more volume of transactions and parking feature has brought a lot of smiles to SAP customers... so how about a BAPI for parking then?

especially in the area of interfacing a non-SAP system. is it enough to do posting directly(on the fly) without validation or feature of parking in-between?

anyway, i am exploring BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK if it can do posting without reference to a PO, only a vendor is enough...so that it can be posted in FI.

If you would find a BAPI in FI for parking in 4.7... i'll be gladly appreciate it!...

Thanks again.

Hi Rurik!

Was on leave, and left things to mould for abit.. 😛

I do not recall if I'd tried posting with only a vendor (without PO). I am quite certain I did, and it did not work.. pity.

I did a check on the codes for BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK and there is a fail-safe checking that will automatically return an error when the PO is not provided, even before attempting to park. I have thought of creating a customized BAPI editing that fail-safe out, but going through the 1st parts of the codes gives me the impression that it is not a plausible path.

I have decided to use BDC on the FI transaction FV60, and then layering a BAPI interface on top of the resulted codes instead.

If you do find a solution tho, I would appreciate it very much if you'd share it.

Hello Crapus, hello Rurik,

I was also trying to find a BAPI for the creation of pure FI invoices (outgoing invoices).

My situation was different, but came to the same result: I have to use BDC on FBV1 using the RFBIBL01 program.

For changing parked docs it is even worst: you do not have any RFBIBL program ;-).

I do not believe that you can change Parked Documents within SAP. It's a fail-safe procedure that you can only Reverse any Parked Documents by creating a series of counter-documents, as a parked document updates various components within the system, which might have different procedures for handling an error.

So, in order to Edit, you'd have to Counter and Reenter.

At least, that's to my understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello Crapus,

yes you can change parked documents in SAP (transaction FBV2).

I have the impression, that you are speaking about posted documents (and not parked documents ).

The sense of creating parked documents is that you are able to change them before posting, since after posting you are not able to change it anymore.

As an example, we use this change functionality if after the approval workflow for the parked document it is rejected by the Finance Department -because using some wrong tax code, or wrong customer, etc...

But anyway thank you for the feedback!!

Cheers, Ana

Hi Rurik,

You said you were exploring BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK to try to post without reference to a PO so it can be posted in FI -because there is no BAPI to park FI docs.

What were your results?

Thanks,

Hi Ursula,

I did try my very best in parking an FI invoice using the BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK in FI but to no avail. It requires a PO since this is originally an MM related BAPI.

In my scenario, its an integration from a non-SAP(Oracle) system to SAP... since our clients wanted a standard SAP... we redesigned Oracle to have simple Parking GUI for them to POST in SAP.

In short, Parking or validating the FI invoice document was done in Oracle and when they have verified the document... we POST in SAP.

I do hope SAP can have a BAPI in Finance for Parking...

Thanks for reading my experience...

Best regards,

Thanks
