add new items to an existing outbound delivery

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a FM or BAPI to add new items to an existing outbound delivery.

While searching, I found BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE which has a parameter ‘NEW_ITEM_DATA’
which sounds promising, but although I filled the parameter in a test report and
didn’t get any errors as result, no new items are added.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation for the ‘NEW_ITEM_DATA’ parameter and no info in the
BAPI documentation how to add new items.

Does anyone know how to manage to add new items to an outbound delivery using FM or BAPI?

regards

Michael

Did you use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT?

Hi Maen,

yes, this is the test report i used:

report   zvl02n_add_item_test.

data:

gs_header_data like bapiobdlvhdrchg,
gs_header_control like bapiobdlvhdrctrlchg,
g_delivery like bapiobdlvhdrchg-deliv_numb,
gs_new_item_data type bapiobdlvitem,
gt_new_item_data type bapiobdlvitem_t,
gs_item_control type bapiobdlvitemctrlchg,
gt_item_control type bapiobdlvitemctrlchg_t,
gt_return type bapirettab.

gs_header_data-deliv_numb = '0080818219'.
gs_header_control-deliv_numb = '0080818219'.
g_delivery = '0080818219'.

gs_new_item_data-deliv_numb = '0080818219'.
gs_new_item_data-itm_number = '000020'.
gs_new_item_data-material = 'V001'.
gs_new_item_data-dlv_qty = 2.

append gs_new_item_data to gt_new_item_data.

gs_item_control-deliv_numb = '0080818219'.
gs_item_control-deliv_item = '000020'.
gs_item_control-chg_delqty = 'X'.

append gs_item_control to gt_item_control.

call function 'BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE'

hi,

instead of populating NEW_ITEM_DATA try filling ITEM_DATA with new item number and see the result.

let me know if it helps.

Michael Jansen,

Browsing thru the code of BAPI should answer your question. From the code you have given above, I see that you have filled the structure new_item_data alone. Look at the include /SPE/V50IF06 line number 67. SAP says you need to fill IT_NEW_ITEM_ORG as well.

Try filling the values for storage location and plant in IT_NEW_ITEM_ORG and then run your program to see the results. I am hoping this should solve the issue.

If not, use the include given above and do a debug. That should give a lot of clarity.

Thanks,

Hi Vikram,

ik it tried filling the IT_NEW_ITEM_ORG as well, but same result. No added item, no error or warning Messages.

So, I tried debbuging the /SPE/V50IF06 include, but to me it looks like that isn't adressed at all, because the Debugger won't stop at any breakpoint I set in there.

Hi Guarav,

when i fill item_data instead of new_item_data, it doesn't work either. But I get an error message VL 216. But i can't find any description for the message type.

Instead of using a break-point to enter debugging, i suggest to debug the function from the start of the call to find any discrepancies.

[Former Member]

Hi Maen,

ok i followed your advice, and found out that seemlingly this if clause in form

OBDLV_INTERFACE_CHANGE prevents the BAPI from adding new items using form spe_new_item_fill:

  IF cl_ops_switch_check=>le_sfws_sc3( ) = gc_true.        "v_n_1466325
* EhP 3 EWM-ERP integration
    PERFORM spe_vbpok_obdlv_fill_dbatch TABLES ct_item_data_docu_batch
                                               ct_vbpok
                                        USING  cs_vbkok
                                      CHANGING ct_return[]
lf_subrc .
    IF lf_subrc NE 0.
      gf_flag-rollback = gc_true.
    ENDIF.
* Extend deliveries with new items
    PERFORM spe_new_item_fill TABLES   it_new_item_data
                                       it_new_item_data_spl
                                       it_new_item_org
                              CHANGING ct_new_items
                                       ct_return[]
                                       lf_subrc.
    IF lf_subrc NE 0.
      gf_flag-rollback = gc_true.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.                                                   "^_n_1466325

But I don't know what he checks here

cl_ops_switch_check=>le_sfws_sc3( ) ?

Michael

[Former Member]

OK i already found out that he check with that if clause if switch LE_SFWS_SC3 is turned on.

Unfortunately in our System it's turned of. Does anyone now what the consequences of turning it on would be?

[Former Member]

IF cl_ops_switch_check=>le_sfws_sc3( ) = gc_true.        "v_n_1466325

is not in my system.

[Former Member]

Consequences? Not sure.

But have a look at:

http://scn.sap.com/thread/647195

[Former Member]

Yeah that discussion I found also searching for the meaning of the if clause.

If I can't find anything on the Impact of turning on Switch LE_SFWS_SC3, I guess I
try the described Workaround, although it annoys me that I can’t use the BAPI functionality.

Hi Michael,

The BAPI BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE will allow you to only change the existing data in the Outbound Delivery. You cannot add any new items using this BAPI. For that purpose you might have to implement some function/screen exits and pass data.

What exactly are you trying to add or hopefully change (not add)?

[Former Member]

Hi A N,

ok if i can't use the BAPI BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE is there another BAPI / FM that will do the Job?

And trying to add some items to an existing outbound delivery, unfortunately not change.

I haven't tried out the BAPI myself, but looking at the code it should work.

Now, based on what do you conclude that with this function you cannot add new items?

[former_member946717]

Hi Michael,

In that case you may have to do as below:

1. Incase you do not want those new fields on the Outbound Delivery tab (VL01N/02N/03N), then you have to just add those required fields in LIKP/LIPS table as per your requirement-Header or Item Level. You can do this by adding a Custom Include in the table.

2. If you want these new fields to show on the Delivery Screen (VL01N/VL02N/VL03N), then you need to search for a Customer Exit/Screen Exit and add those fields on the screen along with step 1.

3. For future use, you may have to implement Customer Exit/BADI in both cases to code and pass the values to your additional fields.

4. For the existing delivery, once these fields are in the LIKP or LIPS table, the BAPI BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE should allow you to update the existing fields.

Currently this BAPI is unable to get those additional fields as they are not available in the database table hence its failing.

[Former Member]

Your code:

gs_item_control-deliv_numb = '0080818219'.
gs_item_control-deliv_item = '000020'.
gs_item_control-chg_delqty = 'X'.
append gs_item_control to gt_item_control.

How about leaving out that part since this one is for changing items? When i look at the BAPI code, it does nothing with GT_ITEM_CONTROL when it processes the contents of NEW_ITEM_DATA. And you do need to pass table NEW_ITEM_ORG as well.

Hi A N,

I don't wan't wan't to add new fields, I just wan't to add new positions to an existing delivery.

[former_member946717]

Can you please specify the positions? I am unable to understand what you mean by 'Positions' in a delivery. Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi,

I mean, I have to extend existing outbound deliveries, with additional material positions without order reference.

Check out this sample code

Hello Eyal,

thanks for your Input. I tried your sample code with two modifications, because I want to extend normal outbount delivieries (not Stock Transfer Order).

So, i adjusted

ls_delivery_head-spe_le_scenario = 'S'. " STO (Stock Transfer Order)  to   ls_delivery_head-spe_le_scenario = ' '. " Normal Outbound Delivery

and used a different Position Type on item Level.

But now I'm getting error message VL565 "Data of preceding document was not transmitted". And for the positions we need to add, there are no preceding documents, because they are added without reference.

Hi Michael

Please check whether your delivery was created with both of the following flags on.

SPE_LE_SCENARIO

A Transportation Cross-Docking

T TPOP (Third Party Order Processing)

S STO (Stock Transfer Order)

C CRM Order as Predecessor for Unchecked Delivery

R CRM Complaint as Predecessor for Returns Delivery

D POD (Proof of Delivery) - Correction Delivery

E ID Handling

I Additional Item Discrepancy

B Production Supply Delivery

F Production Consumption Delivery

G Repetitive Manufacturing

H Kanban Replenishment

J Goods Receipt for Production/Process Orders

SPE_LIFEX_TYPE

S Stock Transfer: Number of Preceding Outbound Delivery

R Returns: Number of Returns ASN

V External Identification from Vendor

N Stock Transfer w/o STO: Number of Preceding Outb. Del.

this is the cause for your error.

Hi Eyal,

i had SPE_LE_SCENARIO set to empty(' '), because in the Domain value range it's specifiy for "normal".

but I didn't have SPE_LIFEX_TYPE specified.

So, now tried various Scenarios with values for SPE_LE_SCENARIO and SPE_LIFEX_TYPE set. But I Keep geeting

the error message "Data of preceding document was not transmitted".

In order for this to add the new items both flags need to be full with any value but empty....

I have enhanced include /SPE/LDIRDLVF28

subroutine MAP_NEW_ITEMS_TO_KOMDLGN

and filled it there (since i dont know what will be the consequence of such act from the begining)

[Vamsibusi]

Hi Eyal,

I used this FM '/SPE/OUTB_DLV_CHG_ITEMS_INSERT' and i successfully added a new article line item to an existing delivery. 

But in my case the Picking Quantity is showing as 0 , even i passed PIKMG field value in to the  lt_new_items. And status is showing as Partially Picked . Please suggest me , what else i need to pass? Below are the screen shots , for what all i passed to the FM , do i need to add any flags , please suggest me some solution.

This BAPI works for adding items to an existing delivery

call function 'BAPI_DELIVERYPROCESSING_EXEC'
       exporting
         delivery_extend = lv_extend
       tables
         request         = lt_request
         return          = lt_return.

[eminr]

Hey,

To solve the problem we used the BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE and NEW_ITEM_DATA. We found out that that the reference to the SO doc was missing. We added an enhancement where the missing values were filled.

Here's an example:
