BAPI for operation change in production order?

Question

Hi there,
I want to change operation data in a production order and I can only find this BAPI:
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
Can this BAPI also be used for changing an production order? Because in the documentation of the BAPI this function isn't really mentioned...
Can you give me some hints or the name of another BAPI doing this task?
Kind regards
Max

Answer 1

yep it can be used for that, the documentation for this bapi is ( very unusual for bapis I know ) available
call the bapi in se37. goto -> documentation
I don't have an example for changing orders and operations but I use it to copy serviceorders (only difference between serviceorder and production order is that you can enter a customer at serviceorders)
which are quite extensive with lot of operations and components and functional locations
here my example for creation. for change I believe you also have to fill the UP structures accordingly to what you want to update
kind regards
