BAPI_PO_CREATE to BAPI_PO_CREATE1; how to?

Hello gurus,
I'm working on an old custom interface FM (on a backend system) which substancially acts as a "wrapper" for the BAPI_PO_CREATE.
In details, the code processes an input, does some check on some conditions, then launch the BAPI_PO_CREATE fm in order to create a Purchase order. This is used to interface a third party system with SAP backends.
Now, the aim is to substitute the call to the BAPI_PO_CREATE (obsolete) with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. As far as I've seen, the latter allows to manage more data and also structures and types used are different from the older one.
So I wonder and ask if there's a sort of howto or standard FM to manage data conversion in order to successfully swap the call from BAPI_PO_CREATE with a newer call of BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
I searched a bit on the forum and web but didn't find anything related to this task
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello there
sorry for the late, I had a previous task to work to so that I had the chance to test your purposed solution only on friday..
I have to say, Martin's suggestion goes quite fine; I used the standard EHSWA_112_PO_BAPI_CONVERT (curiosity: what are the EHSWA* FM for?) to convert some input structures from BAPI_PO_CREATE to BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
Some other structures use the same data type on both BAPI so they don't need - apparently - specific conversion.
And here comes the trouble: while older BAPI_PO_CREATE worked before, the newly interfaced BAPI_PO_CREATE1 doesn't work, as expected, because some little adjustments need to be done.
The one I'm facing now is how to adapt the EXTENSIONIN structure, which contains custom field values. I noticed in debug the routine that moves extensionin to the data structure of the bapi looks for the structure name BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER, which is different from the structure used in the older bapi (BAPI_TE_PO_HEADER).
So, a preliminary task is to substitute in the EXTENSIONIN table the structure names, in order to adapt them to the new BAPI.
Tried in debug, but seems there are other problems and... since I don't know specifically how this extensionin structure works and what's the correct way of converting them for the new BAPI, is there any guide/document that could help me understanding how mapping is done ? Or the only way is to debug the stuff?
Thanks in advance for yout help

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 - How to get error PO item number

All,
I am using BAPI_PO_CREATE1. When PO is errored out, RETURN structure returns PO number with list of errors and warnings.
It says, 'PO contains still faulty items' but does not return specific item number.
I need error PO item number too. Any help?
Thanks,
SKJ

In the RETURN table which is of BAPIRET2 structure, there are 2 fields PARAMETER, ROW. Parameter gives the Table name which has the error and the ROW field gives the row number in that particular table. for eg: PARAMTER = 'POITEM' and ROW = '2' means the error corresponds to line number 2 in the POITEM table.
If these 2 fields are not populated, then it is an error in the header
Hope this helps,

Hari

HEADER TEXT in purchase orders using BAPI_PO_CREATE

How to update HEADER TEXT in purchase orders using BAPI_PO_CREATE or BAPI_PO_CREATE1?Please advice for both types.

Hi Srini ,
IF you are using the BAPI_PO_CREATE , we are not having the parameter to pass Header Text.
If you want to get Header Text directly then Use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 wiht a parameter POTEXTHEADER (I am not sure it is there in 4.7).
If BAPI_PO_CREATE1 does not exist in 4.7 then use create_text function module to update the the Header text
Hope it helps

Hi,
Do you actually want to populate texts against your PO documents? If you have no text data then these tables don't matter.
Looking at SE37 to see the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 you can see that the two text tables are both optional so you don't have to populate them to create a PO. You can also drill down on their structure definition to see the data required. If this is where you are stuck, as you aren't sure what data you need to put into the text tables, I suggest the following to help you figure it out:-
1. Read the documentation for BAPI_PO_CREATE1 as a good starter to explain about the BAPI.
2. Look at the standard function module READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT - these are the basic module for reading and saving texts against objects in SAP and have some helpful documentation attached. This might five you a clearer idea of what data goes where.
3. Go to transaction ME23N and view an exisiting PO document that has texts assigned or go to ME22N and add texts to the header of a PO. From the texts tab select the text and change "Continuous-text" in the drop down to "SAPScript editor". This will show you the text in a more basic format and one that is very similar to how the lines of a text should be passed to the BAPI.
Hope this helps.

Express document "Updated was terminated" received from author in IW32

Hi,
I am creating PO in then method of IN_UPDATE or BEFORE_UPDATE of BADI WORKORDER_UPDAT using BAPI_PO_CREATE or BAPI_PO_CREATE1, but it is not allowing commit transaction implicitly triggered by bapi so it is throwing the message Express document "Updated was terminated" received from author 'XXXX'.
Please advice how to achieve creatING PO in the BADI.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Then it would be really difficult because you will face an update termination every time incase something goes wrong in creating the PO.
In this method even if you raise any messages it would lead to update termination.
If you check the documentation it says that messages can be issued only in AT_SAVE method.
Try creating your PO in this method.
If you need the document number then what you can do is create a custom RFC FM and call it in background. In this FM call your BAPI and using the document number do the further processing.
But if you want this document number to update something in the workorder then i feel that is not possible using this BADI.

Automate receiving a fax and creation of PO thru SAP

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a typical problem. I want to receive the Purchase Order thru fax into SAP. Convert it to text, read it and then automatically create a PO in SAP.
The process of receiving the fax and converting it into text can be done using a 3rd party process. But then SAP should be able to retireve this text from a text file and create a PO by itself.
A solution is desparately sought.
Thanks & regards,
Madhur

You should see the text file and then check if logic can be built to read and understand the text file using ABAP program.
e.g if the data is at a definite position in the text file or you can use pattern search to find the data.
The idea is that your program should be able to read and differentiate the PO data of text file ..like material, qty , amount etc.
You need to write an ABAP program which can be scheduled to run at regular intervals.
This program will read the text data from the file and convert it into the data required in BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE ( or BAPI_PO_CREATE1)...Then call the BAPI to create POs.
Cheers,
Ram

Pricing Condition for Serivce Line Item

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to create a service PO with 1 Service line item and this service line item actually contains more than 1 service number. Using BAPI_PO_CREATE1, how can I define the pricing condition for each of the service number?
Currently, I'm able to define the pricing condition of the service item as a whole through this input parameter table POCOND.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Weishan

Its really tricky requirement, when you are going for manual condition type.
- the best alternative to cater your requirement is to go for maintenance of condition record, which you can upload at mass with the help of LSMW. Also, will be really helpful in having report for pricing. Finally, reduce time to create sales order. Thus, discuss & encourage your user to maintain pricing based condition record. Only header condition should be on manual bases.
- If hard to convince your client on condition record. Then develop a routine with the help of ABAPer in your team. Where you can put logic. If the condition is manual enter and system is able find already entered value for material, then copy the price the slots where system don't find manually entered condition value.

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the purchase req.

I need a BAPI or function that can create a PO without the reference to a purchase requisition. We are creating "direct POs" (with no reference to PR) manually. And we have a large amount of documents to create. I can't figure out if BAPI_PO_CREATE and BAPI_PO_CREATE1 can help us by doing this, because I've understood this BAPIs creates POs only with the reference to a purchase requisition.
Thanks in advance!!
Sebastian

Sorry I'm late guys, I couldn't replay your posts because I was busy.
Charlie,
...just because we have the data already in the SAP system.
My client doesn't want purchase requisitions to be created from the PM orders. Instead he asked us to create the purchase workflow by generating direct purchase orders from the PM orders, basically taking the information from the purchase agreement within the order's tasks. Maybe you don't understand a bit what I'm saying, but let me get this straight: we can't use LSMW because data doesn't come from a legacy.
Ian,
...after all, and like you've said, we're gonna use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for creating the POs. Today I finally realized that, purchase requisitions aren't mandatory for the bapi to perform the process. If something goes wrong, I'll let you know.
Thanks anyway for your attention.

BAPI to Change MM Vendor Quotation (Simulate ME47)

Hi everybody.
I'm abap consultant and I'm trying to find a BAPI to change a Vendor Quotation.
I've found two so far, but they are especific to Customer or Purchase Order (BAPI_CUSTOMERQUOTATION_CHANGE and bapi_po_change).
I've seen that currently there isn't no BAPI for Vendor Quotation, but I can't belive it's true.
Please anybody has any suggestion?
Best regards

Hello Vinicius,
There is currently no BAPI for Transaction ME47 for RFQ and vendor quotation in the standard SAP system design.
Please review Note 197958 BAPIs for purchase orders - Missing functionality
In BAPI_PO_CREATE and BAPI_PO_CREATE1 the field bstyp is filled by program with 'F' (purchase order).

How to pass sales office to BAPI_PO_CREATE1

Hi,
im using the 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1', im having a problem that it is showing error as 'pass the sales Office'.
In ekko, sales office field is available. but in the structure BAPIMEPOHEADER, sales office field is not available.
please help me how to pass the sales office to the Bapi.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Elavarasu.

Hi
I think that it's an append in table EKKO as a ZZ-field (for instance, ZZVKBUR). If I am right, two possibilities:
1. Populate with structure EXTENSIONIN. See SAP Note 582221 - FAQ: BAPIs for purchase orders, quesion 15.
2. Try to populate it with badi 'ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST'.
I hope this helps you
