BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1

I'm trying to use BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 to update the customer master.
This does not work asking message the referencing customer number does not exist on the sales master.
Since I want to create a new customer, I have nothing to reference do I?
I then switched and tried sub-function module inside the one above called SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL and this update and created a new customer number with appropriate data.
This function module alone does not update the 'View' so when I try to view the newly created customer number in VD01 and the screen dumps saying the DYNPRO not found.
Has anyone had this error and maybe the best way to use ABAP to create/change a customer master record.

I still receive error message "889Internal error: Ref. customer does not exist in comp.code master record' even after filling in all fields on PI_OPT_PERSONALDATA. Any ideas?
I've pasted my code below.

Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES

sorry, wrong board - i opened a new post
Problem with BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using JCo on IDES
Hello everyone,
we are working on a student project and would like to create customers (debtors) in an SAP IDES system.
Using the ref-customer to copy from, and some personal-data below, we get the error message
'Internal error: External no.assignment for reference customer/customer'
We also tried with BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, and ACCOUNTGROUP ZINT (New Internet Customer, others won't work?). But CREATEFROMDATA1 takes no CustomerNo created this way, nor it wants to create one 'internal'?
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your help,

Hello Brian,
Thanks for your pointer. Actually The customer's reference number i was providing in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure was a sold-to party customer and it uses external customer number assignment. When i used "New Internet Customer" (that doesnt use external assignment by default) as customer's account group, the customer was created successfully and assigned customer number was returned.
I want to ask now how could we give a customer number in the BAPI as i am unable to find any such column in any of the tables. (Customer number is an "out" parameter so it can only return the number of created customer). Secondly, how to chnage the external assignment property of a particular account group (like sold-to party). i.e, how could we change the account group configurations through SAP GUI??

Regarding BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 Urgent Issue

Hi all,
I am using BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 to create customers from the portal.
I have given a reference customer in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure along with sales area information.
But the BAPI gives an error message like no tax records exist for the reference customer.
I am working in UAE, and here we dont have tax. So we dont maintain tax records anywhere.
How to overcome this issue?
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks alot

Usage of BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1

Hi all,
I'm thinking to use BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 as a call to ECC from 3rd party system.
I found SAP Note 390045 - Usage of BAPI_CUSTOMER_* of function group V02D
which says that the BAPI and other FMs in function group V02D is supposed to be used "exclusively for use in the SAP Online Store and the SAP Internet Sales R/3 Edition"
So my question is if someone used this BAPI in Z* programs in SAP system system.
If this BAPI is not used can you suggest alternative BAPI for Customer master data creation?
Thanks.
m./

Hi Martin,
from the function module documentation:
- Fields of import parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE:
R/3 reference customer, sales area data (sales organization,
distribution channel, division)
Note on reference customer:
The reference customer should be created bearing in mind that its
sole purpose is to provide data for customers that are created via
the BAPI.
That is, the reference customer is not an operative customer in the
business sense. As a result, the customer should be created with a
separate account group with internal number assignment. In addition,
the reference customer must exist in the organizational data that is
transferred to the BAPI.
If company-code-independent data is transferred to the BAPI, the
reference customer must be created for a company code.
So, if you have created a reference customer already, you should know the organizational data (Org/DistrChan/Division and Company code).

Reg BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 .. plz hep me...

I am using BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 to create customer in 4.7
I am populating the mandatory fields for this BAPI:
PI_PERSONALDATA
PI_COPYREFERENCE
TITLE_P element in PI_PERSONALDATA is populated with relevant data by checking the contents of table 'TSAD3T' it is internally converting that into Uppercase even if I am providing it as it is in contents of Data base table.So when I execute I am getting following error message.
838-Invalid Form of Address Text.
But when I debug the same n changed the content of TITLE_P in subroutine SD_CUSTOMER_CHECK_1 to appropriate case and executed it. It created a customer.
Is there any way to handle this situation without changing the content of table TSAD3T.
Thanking you in Advance

Hi Piyas,
Using the BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 is not recommended because this BAPI doesn't support a lot of fields that are needed to create valid customer master data.
Though, you are exploring the possibility with this BAPI, I'd like to mention that you may check Function Module documentation on this - use Ctrl+F4.
Please find below the mandatory inputs - though other fields are also important -
Thanks,
Kumar Saurav.

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 (help)

when i use the bapi,BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1,we use the parameter PI_COMPANYDATA.
there is always a error:
Invalid form of address key.
any suggestion is welcome.
if you can give me a complete example it's better.
thanks very much.

Hi James,
You pass an incorrect parameter for PI_COMPANYDATA-TITLE_KEY.
Please check tables TSAD3 and TSAD3T for available values.
Hope this will help.

"BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1" Mandatory Fields

Hi Experts,
I will be consuming the BAPI "BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1" from an external system, Can someone let me know the mandatory fields to be entered in the BAPI so that the bapi creates a customer.
It will be really helpful if you could also give in some test data along with it.
In response you could also send me a screen shot of the fields filled with dummy data in the mandatory fields.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

'Contact' field in BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1

hello gurus,
i have a contact person coming in my flat file. i am creating customer using structure PI_PERSONALDATA. I don't see a field where I can put this 'Contact person'.
This will be a different contact person as opposed to the customer that I am creating.
How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Eddie
P.S. Helpful answers will be rewarded.

Hi Suresh,
The following is what I got from documentation of BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1.
One person to be created as a customer:
With the entered personal data, addresses of type 1 (company address), type 2 (address for a person/private address of a contact person), and type 3 (contact partner address) are created simultaneously in Central Address Management (CAM).
If the "Allow Consumer Maintenance" indicator is set, then a consumer is created in SAP R/3. (See also: import parameter PI_CONSUMEREN ).
(a) No consumers to be created:
The entered personal data has a direct influence on the master data, company code data and contact person data. One contact partner record is created for the customer in question. All the master data, company code data, sales area data, tax code data, and reminder data that is not entered is adopted from a reference customer and from the sales area data (sales organization, distribution channel and division - import parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE).
I'm not sure what they are implying. But I think there is some way where the contact person is assigned.
What do you think?
Regards,
Eddie.

Create new customer using BAPI BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1

Hi There,
I am trying to create a new customer in SAP through BAPI for demo purpose. The BAPI function I used is BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1. However, the BAPI call requires a reference customer. How can I find a valid reference customer in SAP? Furthermore, is it correct at all to use this BAPI function to create a new customer? Is there any other BAPI function that I can use to do the same stuff? Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Thanks,
Lei

Hi,
I didn't get which system of SAP are you refering to , but as this forum is for CRM i assume that you want to create customer in CRM.
So for creating a customer in CRM you can use the BAPI,
BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
and for getting the reference customer jsut execute the following FM in test enviroment to get the Business Partner no and Business Partner GUID.
CRM_BUPA_CONSUMER_GET_REFERENC
Hope this helps.

Sidd

anyone have an example of this bapi?

Check the table TSAD3T for TITLE_MEDI gives some valid values,.
If you don't have any valid entries in that table, you will get this mesage.
Actually in that Function module,
this part of the code triggers that message:
 SELECT SINGLE * FROM TSAD3T WHERE TITLE_MEDI

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 without using pi_copyreference

Hi Guys
it seems there is a lot of information about this BAPI on SDN but the question remains
Is there any way to create a customer in BAckground WITHOUT using a pi_copyreference.
I dont know why would SAP want to force the client to put a reference customer in there !
Is this mandatory? what if I leave it blank?
Please advise !!

Hi Ronald,
With this BAPI all the master data, company code data, sales area data, tax code data, and reminder data that is not entered is adopted from a reference customer and from the sales area data (sales organization, distribution channel and division - import parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE).
That is, you cannot enter directly the account group, but you can provide the reference customer and this data will be adopted.

Eli
