SRM report create PO confirmation failed with interface data error

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a problem with programming a report for purchase order confirmation in SRM 7.13 classic scenario.

I use the following method calls described here:

/sapsrm/cl_pdo_bo_conf_adv=>create_conf_adv_instance

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->get_header_detail

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->update_header

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->get_item_details

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->update_item

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~submit_update

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->set_save_or_park_flag

CALL METHOD lo_bo_conf->confirm

All works fine without errors but the last method lo_bo_conf->confirm drops a relevant class attribute MV_HEADER_GUID.

Because of the missing GUID I get an exception /sapsrm/cx_pdo_abort_gen with message „Interface data contains errors“.

With setting the right GUID in the debugger again, I get the error BBP_PD001 "Buffer table not up to date".

What’s going wrong?

Regards,

Jürgen

Hi Jurgen

I see some missing code as below . Also please try to do the GR of the goods from portal just to be sure there is no data errors

Also check the roles and authorization of the user. User should have central confirmation role assigned if he/she is not the requester of PO

CALL METHOD lo_conf->/sapsrm/if_pdo_adv_base~submit_decision

.

      CALL METHOD lo_conf->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~save

  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Vinita,

thanks for your reply.

Yes finally you have to set a commit, but the error occurs before.

I have found the solution and will share it for all others running into the same issue.

Info:

Most SRM systems using workflows for approvals.

In this case you must create the new instance with an other class.

Solution:

Instead of using /sapsrm/cl_pdo_bo_conf_adv=>create_conf_adv_instance

you have to use /sapsrm/cl_pdo_fact_conf_adv=>create_new_instance.
