BAPI to create an online customer?

Hello,
Normally one would create a customer using XD01 via filling all the relevant data such as Address, Company Data, Sales Org Data, etc....
We have an application via which, we would like to make call to a BAPI and be able to create a customer.
The BAPIs available such as BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1, BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA, BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE do not provision for entering all the data which one would like to supply while creating a customer.
Does anybody has any idea out there as to what option should I be looking at to create a customer via BAPI.
Regards
Mahesh

Hi,
these bapis are not to be used out of their original context. Jürgen is fully right when he points at Note 390045
SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL is even worse, it is used in standard during the maintenance of a consumer using the standard customer master data transaction XD01 & XD02.
It is not intended to be used out of the transaction and in no case it should be used out of its original context. Due to the specificity of the function module, out of the original context we may face limitations and data inconsistencies.
This is precisely what you face in your case.
For the maintenance of customers, there is NO BAPI and NO direct function module.
There are some functions modules like the one above where the name is looking nice. But these should not be used.
Below ECC 2005 (6.00), the only solution was batch input and DEBMAS idocs. See note 384462
Starting with ECC 2005 (6.00) and above: a synchronisation tool has been introduce. See class CMD_EI_API and VMD_EI_API
Hope this helps

BAPI to create customer records (XD03)

Hi
I've seen some similar threads to this but I'm not sure the question is fully answered yet.
Is there a single, or are there multiple BAPI's available that will fully create a customer master record, by which I mean all the company code data as well as te Sales area data? I am aware of the BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1, but this doesn't appear to meet the full requirement. Also I'm slightly alarmed by the 'Only for ONLINE Store!!!' comment in the documentation.
Previous posts on this forum and on others suggest that to fully create a customer record people have had to resort to writing their own BDC programs. Is there anyone who can confirm that this is the case?
Thanks for your help.
Dominic

Hi
Thanks for the welcome and the advice.
While researching this further I came across SAP note 390045 which is directing me away from using the BAPI route. I realise now that I didn't mention in the original post that the idea we're investigating is having the data for the customer accounts created externally to SAP and then call a BAPI to create the account in SAP.
I suspect we could achieve this but it's getting a bit messy so ALE might be the better option.
Thanks,
Dominic.

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE
Create Customer Master Online
With this method, you can create or extend a customer.
BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA
Note: In SAP R/3 4.5A, this BAPI is replaced by BAPI
"BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1", which takes full account of the
integration of customer address data in Central Address Management
(CAM). As this BAPI ("BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA") is being replaced,
it will only be supported for 2 releases after SAP R/3 4.5A.
This method of the "Customer" business object can be used to create a
customer in SAP R/3 on the basis of entered address data (import
parameter PI_ADDRESS).
The entered address data has a direct influence on the master data,
company code data and contact person data. One contact person record is
created for the customer to be created.
All the master data, company code data, sales area data, and tax code
data that is not entered is adopted from a reference customer, and from
sales area data (sales organization, distribution channel and division -
import parameter PI_COPYREFERENCE).
(Exception: Currency field of the sales area data. This field can be
transferred to the BAPI via structure PI_ADDRESS via the currency fields
(in R/3 or in ISO format).
If both currency fields are transferred to the BAPI, the currency field
in R/3 format has priority.
If both currency fields are blank when transferred to the BAPI, the
currency field is determined using table T005, on the basis of the
country that is specified.

Hi,
You can make the appropriate setting in Customizing for Excise Duty, by choosing Basic Settings -> Maintain Excise Groups, and selecting Create EI (Create Excise Invoice Automatically)
Also maintain the default excise and series group in the configuration.
Logistics general>Tax on Goods Movement>India>Basic Settings>Maintain Excise groups. For your Excise group maintain the check Excise invoice during Billing.
After maintaining the same also maintain the default values in Logistics general>Tax on Goods Movement>India>Business transactions>Outgoing Excise invoices-->Maintain Default Excise groups and Series groups.

Using BAPI to create users across all Clients and R/3 Systems

Hi everyone,
I'm currently writing a program where I'm using a BAPI to create multiple new users via central user admin (SU01) and assigning Roles to these users.
My objective is to create these new users in all clients of all R/3 systems using RFC. At the moment, in SM59, our DEV environment is set up as "DEV", QA as "TST" and PRD as "PRD". When I use syntax:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_CREATE1' DESTINATION 'TST' the system presents a logon screen to login to TST system. Can this logon be made automatic i.e. without this screen prompt?
Also, I can't create the users in all clients of 'TST'. Our test system has 5 clients...how do I create the users in all clients of TST automatically?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Sougata.

Try to see the SAP HELP:
RFC logon to target system (remote logon)
RFC logon within an R/3 system can be successfully undertaken using the same user ID even if the logon is to take place in a different client.
In principle, all necessary logon data for a particular RFC destination (language, user, client, and password) are used when an RFC logs on to the target system.
Typically the password field (for a particular user) must be maintained when an RFC communicates with other clients or user IDs.
If one of the fields language, client or user is not maintained for the designated RFC destination, default values are taken from the system environment (system table).
Tips:
With RFC communication within a single R/3 system with the same client and user the logon fields do not have to be maintained. Password entry is also unnecessary in this special case.
If an RFC logon in online mode is unsuccessful, an RFC logon window is displayed (not during background processing) where you can logon to the target system online at runtime.
The default values for the RFC logon screen fields are as follows:
Client
The standard value of the target system application server is used. This value is read from the target server's "login/system_client" profile parameter.
User
The system inserts the user ID of the current user in this field.
Language
Information from the RFC destination is used to fill the language field. If the language field has not been maintained in the destination, the current language of the calling system is inserted.
The RFC logon window does not appear if the initial function module call of the RFC destination originates from the system-specific function group 'SRFC'. The function modules RFC_PING and RFC_SYSTEM_INFO belong to this group among others.
If you would like to have an RFC logon window displayed regardless, you must end RFC communication to that particular RFC destination after the call using the function module 'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE'.
Be aware that no logon screen is usually offered when using trusted/trusting systems.
Documentation to authorization checks in the RFC environment can be found in RFC authorization concept.

Performance issue: Calling a BAPI PO create in test mode to get error msgs

Hi,
We have an ALV report in which we display purchase orders that got created in SAP, but either got blocked due to not meeting PO Release strategy tolerances or have failed output messages. we are displaying the failed messages even.
We are looping the internal table of eban(PR) & calling bapi po create in test mode to get failed messages.
Now we are facing performance issue in production. What can be the alternate efficient way to get the error msgs with efficiency

Performance issue calling bapi po create in test mode to get error messages
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 9, 2012

Hi Suvarna,
so you need to reduce the number of PO-simulations.
- Likely you checked already, that all EBAN-entries should already be converted into POs. If there would be a large number of "new" EBAN-entries, they don't need to be simulated.
- If it's a temporary problem: give aid to correct the problems (maintain prices or whatever the error-reasons are) Then the amount of not-converted purchase requisitions (PR) should drop, too
- If it's likely, that your volume of open PR will stay high: create a Z-Table with key of EBAN and a counter, simulate (once a day) PO conversions and store the results in the Z-table. In your report you can use the results... if they are "new enough". From time to time new simulations should be done, missing master data might be available.
Maybe users should be allowed to start this 2nd report manually (in background), too -> then they can update the messages after some data corrections themself, without waiting for the result (just check later in online report and do something different in between).
And you might need to explain, PO simulation takes as long as PO creation... there is no easy or fast way around this.
Best regards,
Christian
