have you checked the order number in VBAK Table..?

if it exist, then look at the VGBEL field in vbak.

is this holds your reference document number..?

Then read this entry and supply values to VBFA Table.

vbfa-vbelv = vbak-vgbel

vbfa-vbeln = vbak-vbeln

Thanks,

NO!!!

Sara,

You do not EVER want to perform direct table updates to SAP supplied tables like this!!!

You must update these tables thru standard SAP supplied objects.

If you have any direct updates in your current system, make it your organization's HIGHEST priority to replace these direct updates!!

SAP Support will not stand behind their product when you are making changes like this... it can break the refertial integrity of the SAP database - thus damaging your company's business.

How did you create the sales order? Thru BAPI?

If thru BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2,

you must set the following in the internal ITEM table BAPISDITM

BAPISDITM-REF_DOC = Your_Ref_doc.

BAPISDITM-REF_DOC_IT = Your_Referencing_Line_Item_num.

BAPISDITM-REF_DOC_CA = Your_ref_Doc_type.

These need to be included in the BAPISDITM table when the Create BAPI is called... whne included, the VBFA linkages are built.

Lovleen,

I should clarify as well that you need to update Change table as well for these 2 fields.

BAPISDITMX-REF_DOC = 'X'.

BAPISDITMX-REF_DOC_IT = 'X'.

BAPISDITMX-REF_DOC_CA = 'X'.

This is a requirement of the BAPI itself.

Don't forget points for helpful answers.

Hai,

Search by preceding documents:

Here VBFA-VBELV s are Sales Doc numbers

where VBTYP_V = 'C' .
