BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE & BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE

Hi,
We have a External System from where we input, data Required for Vendor
master Data & Customer Master Data. We are trying to use the following
BAPi's BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE & BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE to pass the value
to SAP. But there is no option to give the Input, because these BAPi's
are using call transaction. Kindly guide how to use these BAPI's to
pass value from External System to SAP.

Sekar.

Friends Any input.

How to use the BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE

Hi Experts,
Could anyone explain me, how to use the BAPI, 'BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE' !
Our requirement is to create vendors from the third party system say like 'BIZTALK' . Those people will be connecting to our SAP server through a custom RFC, which I have to create and in that RFC, I have to call this BAPI. since the BAPI, 'BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE' doesn't have any import parameters, I am unable to pass the Vendor numbers and other fields say like, 'COMPANY CODE, ACCOUNT GROUP, STREET etc.., ' , which are also needed by the time of creating vendors.
Can anyone help me out, how to solve this issue!!! Or else is there any otherway of approaching this problem, also please let me know...
Thanks in advance.

You have to pass Header and GM code as the INput parameters for uing this BAPI....GM code would be structure.
Also you have to pass the INternal table Item for the goods mvt cxreate which will contains
      BATCH.
      MOVE_TYPE.
      ENTRY_QNT.
      MOVE_PLANT.
      MOVE_STLOC.
      MOVE_BATCH.
      MOVE_REAS
these parameters.

BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE

Now then,
I have searched high and low for any information on the BAPI - BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE.
It seems that this BAPI only calls the transaction XK01. I need to be able to create vendor master
data from say an uploaded excel spreadsheet.
I could use the BDC method but as you know this is a very time consuming way.
I have also searched via SE37 for any existing FM's and can only find a very limited few which
again call XK01.
There must be a definitive answer as to why there is no bapi to create a vendor from scratch
i.e. just like you would use a bapi to create a purchase order.
If it cant be done then it can't be done. But there must be a reason as why there is no FM or
BAPI to create a vendor.
Hope this makes sense
Andy

Hi,
Well am not sure of the reason as to why such a BAPI is not available which can create vendors directly in offline mode, but you can try the following FM's through which it can be achieved.
VENDOR_INSERT: To insert the vendor in vendor master
NUMBER_GET_NEXT : To get the Address number based on the account group for vendor.
ADDR_SAVE _INTERN: To update the address based on the address number found above.
BAPI_BANK_CREATE To update the bank details.

BAPI bapi_vendor_create

Hi,
I was under impression that BAPIs are screen independent.
But I guess there exists BAPIs which can call the screens online. e.g. BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE allows u to call transaction XK01 and thus create vendors.
The question here I have is, should I call this BAPI from outside like using JCo. What will be effects of calling such BAPI from outside ?
Regards,
Nitin

Hello Nitin,
you are right.This BAPI opens only the vendor dialog for xk01.You need an SAPGUI for using it.
I tried to use it via RFC from a NON-Sapgui Client and i get an "ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE".
I don't know,why the SAP make such a crazy BAPI
Greetings.

Hello,
Unfortunately SAP does not support any BAPI's to change customer/vendor master data.
The BAPI's were developed from different applications and were designed for their special needs.
You can see the existing BAPIs via tranx BAPI.
Please have a look at the SAP notes 390045 and 384462 which should
explain the proceeding. If you want to use Batch Input, please also have a look at SAP note 306275.
Another possibility is to use Trx XD99, object KNA1, Trx XK99, object LFA1.

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE STCD1

Hi, All:
We need to create a customer in a online report, but We are trying to use BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFRONDATA1, but this Bapi has no field for STCD1 (Tax Number 1) and this field is obligatory for us.
Anyone could help us, please?

Can you tell me which fields in all the structures of this bapi BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 you pass data to? The issue I have is, if I pass data to PI_PERSONALDATA structure, I have an error saying the language field is required. When I enter data to the language field, I have error 'Double creation of company and user address not created'. It seems like I get an error if I don't enter anything and get the error when enter something. Please advise.

Creation of Vendor using a BAPI

I need to create a vendor in SAP system from a non-SAP system. I thought to use a BAPI. But the BAPI available, BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE is not suitable as it is dialog oriented.
Could anyone suggest me a better method of achieving this.

Business Partner Creation for Sales Customer

Hello,
I am almost certain this question was asked before, but I couldn't seem to find the answer.
I have an external customer number that needs to be passed in from a 3rd-party system to SAP ECC 5.0 (part of ERP 2004). I could use BAPI BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA to create the customer in BUT000 table. Since this is really a sales customer, I was hoping this customer can be duplicated/transferred to KNA1 table. Without doing this, this external BP # does not show up in my dropdown list when I create an order. I also tried to use BAPI BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 to create this external customer by adding a role "FLCU00", but I still couldn't find this customer in the KNA1 table. I also looked at a couple more options such as BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE and BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1, but as far as I know the first one is online dialog mode, and the 2nd one does not seem to allow exteral customer number. Does any know whether it is possible to use BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA or BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 to create an entry in KNA1? Is it more a config issue or technically it is not possible? Please advise. Your help is appreciated!!!
Regards,
Chao

Thanks for your clue. I will look into it. Maybe IDoc approach is what I need to use.
Ultimately, we want to use KNA1 customers to create sales orders. We don't have mySAP CRM, so ERP is what I am trying to interface to from an external system. I thought SAP is trying to centralize the business partners, so that's why I was walking down on the path of creating BPs, hoping they will be replicated back to KNA1. I worked on IS products before, and they seem to work this way (replication). However, by thinking about it more, it may make more sense to have customers created in KNA1 and through some type of conversion replicate customers in KNA1 to BUT000 some time down in the road if BP is what the customer will be using in the future with other mySAP products. I wonder if anyone can validate this thought(meaning converting KNA1 customers to BPs) for me. Thanks in advance!!!

Help needed in creating a Customer in SD

Hi,
I am trying to create a customer using the FM 'BAPI_CUSOTMERCREATEFROMDATA1'. Without Providing Reference Customer nbr, i am not able to create. Is there no means to create a customer without giving Reference Customer.
All helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Udaya

Hi Udaya,
I have checked for the FM you have mentioned. That does not exist in my system. Anyway I could successfully create a customer using the FM BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE.
This is the FM which lets you create a customer without the need of any reference. If it is configured in XDN1 that your account group has external number, please provide a number to your customer in the initial screen after you execute your BAPI.
Let me know if you have any further concerns,
Regards,
Ramakanth
