Custom BAPI with BDC

hi guys
i have a custom BAPI with a BDC within it..however im getting an error on process screen saying input value is longer than screen field. i added the code below to go around that error but now again another error occurs

the fields have he same definition data element which is a currency field of 21.2
now i get the error that i shud enter values in the format __,___,___,___,___,___,___.__ since the output length is 29 for the domain of the data element.
please can i have some ideas on how to go around this error??

prince

Hie gurus,
i have made some progress regarding my issue however i am experiencing another error. the requirement for the data is that i moved data to an internal table with data type with equivalent length however wen i pass that value which is coming from data type C i get the error that values shud be in currecy format...how can i solve this????

Create a Custom BAPI with inputs as Decimal values

Hello Experts,
I am new to BAPI creation, my requirment has two decimal inputs(as import parameters) and out output can be a simple add of these two numbers.
Decimal Input has 9 characters with 7 decimals Ex: 10.0000000. How to create a structure or data type and use the same back in my BAPI.
What is the ABAP code that, I should write to add these two inputs and export them.
Please help ASAP, I am in a critcal position.
Thanks,
Suma

Hello Suma,
This error is caused because you are trying to use a data type rather a data element, it better if you follow the below process
Start with creating a Structure with ZBAPI name, from SE11
give a component name with Z and component type with Z and then double click on new component type and this will ask what to generate click on dataelement and enter discription then enter a Z new name in the Domain and double click on it, click on data type and enter DEC, no char 9 and decimal 7 then save activate, clikc on back save activate and again click on back and save activate now your sturcture will be saved. Follow the proces if have new data type or else the same for your next entres.
For your Req....
take component ZINPUT1 compenent type ZINPUT with domain as ZZINPUT...
use the sam for ZINPUT2 and ZOUTPUT and then save activate. Now the structure is created.
SE37 create new BAPI, In import parameters take parameters as T_INPUT1 and T_INPUT2 with ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT1 and ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT2.Then in export if you wnat inputs also in there just give some export names and give the assoated type as what you have used in import, also add OUTPUT and RETURN with ZBAPI_SUM-ZOUTPUT and BAPIRETURN.Now write the source code as follows
FUNCTION ZBAPI_TESTDEC1.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(T_INPUT1) TYPE ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(T_INPUT2) TYPE ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT1 OPTIONAL
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(INPUT1) TYPE ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT
*"     VALUE(INPUT2) TYPE ZBAPI_SUM-ZINPUT1
*"     VALUE(OUTPUT) TYPE ZBAPI_SUM-ZOUTPUT
*"     VALUE(RETURN) TYPE BAPIRETURN
INPUT1 = T_INPUT1.
INPUT2 = T_INPUT2.
OUTPUT = T_INPUT1 + T_INPUT2.
ENDFUNCTION.
Now save it and then activate and then clikc on tables tab then functional module on main menu and then relase.
Go to T-code SWO1 create new Obj with ZBAPI name and then clikc create enter Obj name,Name,Des,Program,and Application has to be * then enter.
Click on methods,Utilites, API Methods, Add method, Select BAPI Name then contine for 3 times then click BAPI Added in the methods then on edit change relase status- object type To modeled, To impimented and To relased at 3 diff times then follow the same for Object Type component.
Now click on red and white round button which is similar to BMW symbol. This will generate the BAPI and now you see it in BAPI T-Code.
Hope this helps you ...

I want purchase order bdc or bapi with full solution

hi,
if any one have purchase order bdc or bapi with full solution . plz send me .
thanking u,

hi
Just take all required fields to create PO into one internal table . Just use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 function module. In that function module give internal table name. It will create the PO. Extra decorations like error messages and all you need to take care.
Reward if it helpful.

PROGRAM WITH BAPI and BDC's

Hi All,
I am using a 2 BAPI's and 3 BDC's in a program. I need all these BAPI and BDC's update the tanscations in a single bundled task? that is if any of BAPI or BDC failed the sucessful BAPI/BDC should be rolled back. How can I make it happen? Any sample code will be helpful

Standard or Customizing Bapi for T-code F-44

Hi
I need to clear vendor open invoices using BAPI's for T-code F-44 .I've got through various FM like bapi_acc_document_post and bapi_ar_acc_getbalanceditems but could'nt find solution because this FM's are for customer clearing the open items from table BSAD(cleared accounts of customer).Have any boby worked on this tcode to clear vendor accounts using bapi's or do we have any standard FM to use the scenario same as FM mentioned above for table BSAK(vendor clear items).
Its really simple working with bdc's to transfer data from flat file to the above transaction.But as known every vendor has huge sets of items and this could be a huge performance issue....so to avoid this in future we need to work on this using exclusively BAPI's......Any suggestions or sample codes wud surely be appreciated....
Thanks in Advance......

DIFFERENCE between BAPI and BDC
BDC is traditional way of coding the transactions for uploading the legacy data, Sap is changing all transactions to Object oriented programming. Since BAPI is Object based and supports all the new transactions it is preffered over BDC. More over BAPI's process data faster than BDC.
BAPI is a SAP-supplied function module with a defined interface, which allows you to interact with various business objects. SAP guarantees the integrity of your database for anything updated using a BAPI. BDC is a method of driving screens programatically, for updating SAP data. BAPIs are generally faster than BDCs.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly". Whereas BDC with call
transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, fills screens.
However - there is not always a BAPI for a particular transaction and not all functions that are performed by a transaction can be done by a BAPI. BDCs produce error sessions which can be processed by the user, while BAPIs don't.
First choose the BAPI ,if there is no BAPI go for BDC.
why BAPI first not BDC.
SAP comes up with Change in Version, so each and every time they will change the screens/number etc.
so you have to change your BDC programs accordingly.
and also Most of the Latest versions transactions are Enjoy Transaction. they will not support BDC's in Background.
But Using BAPI's No such disadvantages.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code.
A BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.
Actually it depends on your requirement but BAPI is more effective as it is standard function module to update SAP databases rather than BDC.
using bdc over bapi has advantages and also disadvantages
advantages:
1. using bdc we can upload data into database tables using 2 ways
1. foreground -
means that user interaction is there for each and every record.
2. back ground -
no user interaction and tasks are done automatically.
using these two options is one of the greatest advantage over bapi.
2. in bdc call transaction method we can control the display of screen resolution which is not possible with bapi's
3. bdc is generally used for transferring of large amount of data than bapi's
4.session method of bdc allows us to place data directly in application server and then finally transfered into sap database tables
disadvantages:
1.bdc is only used for sap to sap system data transferring
2. bapis's generally works more faster than bdc's
3. using bapis we can connect to remote systems and also to non sap systems.
if useful reward some points.
A BAPI is a method of a SAP Business Object. BAPI enables SAP and third party applications to interact and integrate
with each other at the Business Object / Process level.
Check this link to know more about BAPI.
http://www.sapgenie.com/abap/bapi/example.htm
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest batch interfacing technique that SAP provided since the early versions of R/3. BDC is not a
typical integration tool, in the sense that, it can be only be used for uploading data into R/3 and so it is not bi-directional.
BDC works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen, via an ABAP program. Typically the input comes in the form
of a flat file. The ABAP program reads this file and formats the input data screen by screen into an internal table (BDCDATA). The
transaction is then started using this internal table as the input and executed in the background.
In Call Transaction, the transactions are triggered at the time of processing itself and so the ABAP program must do the error handling.
It can also be used for real-time interfaces and custom error handling & logging features. .
To know more about BDC,
check the link.
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Main differences are...
In case of bdc data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem
where is bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.
not only that...
when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc willnot support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.

BAPI vs BDC for VI02/ VT02N and VL32N

Hi All,
I have the following questions to the experts.
In our 4.6 version we had a custom program with in which using BDC we were doing.
1) Delete Shipment Cost Documents ( VI02).
2) Unpack and delete shipment ( Call Transaction to VT02N).
3) Unpack and delete delivery (VL32N).
Now in ECC version I want to confirm if these BDCs will work without any issues in future.
Do we have appropriate BAPI or Function Module for replacing all these BDCs.
I went through the forum and found many BAPIs like BAPI_SHIPMENT_CHANGE,BAPI_INB_DELIVERY_CHANGE and FMs WS_DELIVERY_CHANGE etc but want to make sure if Unpacking and Deletion both can be handled with the same BAPIs as mentioned?
For Deleting SCD, have anyone faced any issues with using BDC in ECC or do we need to use some FM like SD_SCD_DELETE etc?
Please advice.
Best Regards,
Ameesha

Hi Amisha,
I understand that you aalready have BDC Implementation in place for all these transactions.
So is it Business requirement to change these to BAPIs. Yes, it is true that the implementaion should have been done using BAPIs but as you have BDC in place Please perform testing to make sure the BDC code is still working fine.
If code is fine then you are good otherwise you can either change BDC code to solve the Issues of go for fresh coding using BAPIs to upload/change the data.

BAPI vs BDCs

What is the difference between BAPIs and BDCs...why BAPIs are preferred...? i know you might have gone through this question a zillion times....but the thing that bugs me the most is the fact that...if BAPIs are a better choise to transfer data as compared to BDCs...then where on earth are the field validations done in BAPIs.? ...how is data integrity maintained if data is transferred through BAPIs? ( since data is not passed through screens...no validations are done)

Hi,
Difference between BDC and BAPI
BDC is traditional way of coding the transactions for uploading the legacy data, Sap is changing all transactions to Object oriented programming. Since BAPI is Object based and supports all the new transactions it is preffered over BDC. More over BAPI's process data faster than BDC.
BAPI is a SAP-supplied function module with a defined interface, which allows you to interact with various business objects. SAP guarantees the integrity of your database for anything updated using a BAPI. BDC is a method of driving screens programatically, for updating SAP data. BAPIs are generally faster than BDCs.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly". Whereas BDC with call
transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, fills screens.
However - there is not always a BAPI for a particular transaction and not all functions that are performed by a transaction can be done by a BAPI. BDCs produce error sessions which can be processed by the user, while BAPIs don't.
First choose the BAPI ,if there is no BAPI go for BDC.
why BAPI first not BDC.
SAP comes up with Change in Version, so each and every time they will change the screens/number etc.
so you have to change your BDC programs accordingly.
and also Most of the Latest versions transactions are Enjoy Transaction. they will not support BDC's in Background.
But Using BAPI's No such disadvantages.
A BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code.
A BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.
Actually it depends on your requirement but BAPI is more effective as it is standard function module to update SAP databases rather than BDC.
using bdc over bapi has advantages and also disadvantages
advantages:
1. using bdc we can upload data into database tables using 2 ways
1. foreground
means that user interaction is there for each and every record.
2. back ground -
no user interaction and tasks are done automatically.
using these two options is one of the greatest advantage over bapi.
2. in bdc call transaction method we can control the display of screen resolution which is not possible with bapi's
3. bdc is generally used for transferring of large amount of data than bapi's
4.session method of bdc allows us to place data directly in application server and then finally transfered into sap database tables
disadvantages:
1.bdc is only used for sap to sap system data transferring
2. bapis's generally works more faster than bdc's
3. using bapis we can connect to remote systems and also to non sap systems.
if useful reward some points.

Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest batch interfacing technique that SAP provided since the early versions of R/3. BDC is not a
typical integration tool, in the sense that, it can be only be used for uploading data into R/3 and so it is not bi-directional.
BDC works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen, via an ABAP program. Typically the input comes in the form
of a flat file. The ABAP program reads this file and formats the input data screen by screen into an internal table (BDCDATA). The
transaction is then started using this internal table as the input and executed in the background.
In Call Transaction, the transactions are triggered at the time of processing itself and so the ABAP program must do the error handling.
It can also be used for real-time interfaces and custom error handling & logging features. .
To know more about BDC,
check the link.
http://sappoint.com/abap/
Main differences are...
In case of bdc data transfer takes place from flat file into sap system ie the file existing in sap system to sap sytem
where is bapi's r remotly enabled function modules which are assigned to some business objects n used to transfer the data between different business partners who are using different systems other than sap.
not only that...
when you plan to upgrade your system version then bdc willnot support those upgradations where as bapi's will support.

Problem with BDC on VA02

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with bdc on va02. After hitting enter on the first screen it pops an info message "consider subsequent douments". It doesn't get recorded in recorded. Hence I am not able to run the transaction with no screen mode. Please help me to suppress the info message
Navin

Hi Navin,
These kind of messages and pop ups are precisely the reason why use of BDC for updating transactions is NOT advisable.
If you were to bypass such messages, you would have to put a check to see why the message appears (in this case probably because the sales document flow for the sales order in table VBFA has some documents) and then write a logic to either handle the message or not.
Instead i would recommend you use the BAPI functions provided by SAP to change the sales order.
Have a look the BAPI for sales order change attached to the business object BUS2012. For this goto transaction SWO1 and enter the BUS2012 business object. Then goto methods and look for the "change" method. Double click on the method and look at the BAPI used to implement the method. Go ahead and use this method in your program as against a BDC.
I am sure it will be a much better option.
Otherwise if you still want to proceed with a BDC, please debug at the point where the message/pop up appears to ascertain reason for the same and then incorporate the same check in your program to handle the pop up.

Aditya

Accounting: General G/L Account Posting Functionality
You can use this method to update business transactions in Accounting which mainly affect the general ledger and are definitely not updated in subledgers which are relevant to the balance sheet.
An example of this is a provision posting for an expected guarantee service.
This can be produce debit or credit entries to balances which are not managed in one of the subledgers relevant to the balance sheet. This is especially applicable if the balances cannot be represented as assets, customers/vendors, materials, loans, etc.
An example of this is a provision posting for an expected guarantee. However, this can also involve depreciation or write-ups in which values have a higher level of summarization than in the corresponding subledger relevant to the balance sheet in which they are managed.
An example of this is foreign currency revaluation for receivables/ payables caused by considerable exchange rate fluctuations which is not updated in accounts payable or accounts receivable.
A similar transaction may come about when revaluating balances for raw materials if the revaluation takes place at a corresponding level of summarization.
The third cateogry is the reclassification of items to balance sheet accounts or income statement accounts, which is only undertaken in the general ledger in order to balance accounts (values are then finally reassigned to financial statement items).
Example: Reclassifying balances of receivables with different return times for the balance sheet.
Restrictions:
This object cannot be used to update business transactions which are normally posted to one of the subledgers which affects the balance sheet (such as a billing document; for this see the business object AcctngBilling).
This is especially applicable if the reason the relevant subledger cannot be updated is because it is an external system or is not in use.
Notes
If the currency fields have been entered in the CurrencyAmount parameter, the system runs a complete check for the document. Otherwise only the account assignment objects are validated.
Messages are displayed in the Return parameter. You will find the return values and their meanings in the documentation for this parameter.
Further Information

How to transport a custom bapi (written by me) to another server

Hello friends,
We have a software that is integrated with SAP. To make our software work with SAP, we have some custom bapis created on SAP side. We would like to transfer them to another server that is on a different network. After reading many documents and forums here is the what I have done and the problem that I am facing. Your help will be highly appreciated.
1.Started Transaction 'SE80'.
2.Created a test package called 'ZTRANSPORTTEST'.
3.Created a function group called 'ZTRANSPORTTESTFN' under that package.
4.Created a function module under the group called 'ZTRANSFUNCTION'
NOTE: Just saved and activated without adding any code since I won't be using this function
             for anything other than to test the Transport Feature.
5. Clicked on the button that said 'Transport Organizer' and saw the list of requests including the
    EC1K900083one that I just created.
6. I tried to release it by 'RIGHT CLICKING'
   It waited for few seconds with the message....."code inspector checks running.".
   Then it failed with an error message as follows
   Error in pre-export methods for request EC1K900083
NOTE: I have made sure that everything is activated properly, since I read on a forum that this
             error may occur if something is not activated properly. So I have done this step over
             and over again making sure that everything is activated properly.
7. I then started Transaction 'SE09' and saw the request 'EC1K900083' under the released tree with a 'CHECK' Mark.
However, when I sent to /usr/SAP/trans/data and /usr/SAP/trans/Cofiles, I didn't find the transport data there.
Has anyone done this before and if so what am I doing wrong? Your suggestions or feedback will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Hello Friends,
Thanks for all the responses. I got the following response from SAP TECH SUPPORT which is not very encouraging and so I am just closing this.
Thanks

Dear Mr Ram,
Thanks for explaining it once again.
The package is just container for development objects that belong together, in that they share the same system, transport layer, and
customer delivery status. Please check the below link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ea/c05da3f01011d3964000a0c94260a5/frameset.htm
As I understand correctly you want to 'export' your development outside of your SAP system domain. For that either you can do it using 'Externalsystems'. 'External systems' are a special form of virtual systems. A real SAP System is used in their place to perform actions on the transport directory. They are different from virtual systems in that they have their own transport directory that you can freely choose, you can use external systems to:
-Write transport requests to exchangeable data media
-Read transport requests from exchangeable data media
-Send transports to other transport domains using an intermediate directory
-Send transports to other transport domains using an intermediate directory
If you want to transport between systems in different domains, we recommend that you link domains with 'domain links'. There must be a
permanent network connection between the systems in the two domains, similar to the connection between systems within the same domain.
I would recommend to take a look in the documentation available in SAP Online help for further information on how to setup this
complex transport landscape. I hope this information helps you to setup the transport system.
Or you simply create a transport request of type 'transport of copy' and input target system and client (which you should know) system as
target system include the objects (bapi) in the request. This ensure that requests will only be imported into that system. Other systems willnot be touched.
'Transport of copies' type transports do not get automatically added to the next buffer after they have been imported into a system. When creating a 'Transport of copies' transport the target system must be specified as this type of transport does not respect the defined transport routes outlined in TMS.
You can use this request type to transport objects to a specified SAP System using Transports of copies. The objects are transported with the version they have in the current SAP System. The original location of the objects remains unchanged. There is no delivery to another SAP System.
But we at AGS we cannot suggest, as the nature of your request indicates this is a consulting issue rather than a software error.
Customer Support's charter, under the SAP maintenance agreement, is to handle software or system defects in the standard delivered R/3 product. Please refer the note 1054121.
So you have to seek assistance from SAP's Remote Consulting Service which is billable.
I am sorry that I could not give you more positive reply in this case.
With warm regards,
Sajiv
