Updating start date and end date at header level for a contract

[Former Member]

As per the requirement I have to create a contract and assign the start date and end date to the contract.

I am using BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA for creating a contract. I am assigning value for start date and end date for header data of contract in fields

-CT_VALID_F and CT_VALID_T of CONTRACT_HEADER_IN import parameter and also setting the corresponding indicator in CONTRACT_HEADER_INX parameter.

The BAPI executes successfully and does not return any error but when I check the start date and end date for contract in va43 the values are not assigned.

I also want to update the start date and end date for contract in other case for which I am using BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE and passing date values to the same fields as those create but it give me an error while executing. The error is as follows:

Field 'GUEEN' cannot be changed, VBAKKOM 2000000162 ready for input.

Can anyone suggest what can be done for update the date values?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Komal,

The fields for the validity period in the header are:

data:

zlv_header TYPE BAPIMEOUTHEADER.

zlv_header-vper_start = <start date>

zlv_header-vper_end = <end date>

Thanks for the reply

But there are no such fields in bapi.

I am using 'BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA ' and 'BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE'

Could be a release issue. On what SAP release are you on?

So are we... The BAPI BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE has the following importing parameters:

HEADER TYPE BAPIMEOUTHEADER

HEADERX TYPE BAPIMEOUTHEADERX

VENDOR_ADDRESS TYPE BAPIMEOUTADDRVENDOR

TESTRUN TYPE BAPIFLAG-BAPIFLAG

TECHNICAL_DATA TYPE BAPIMEOUTTECH

Change the HEADER and HEADERX parameters as I have indicated in my first post.
