Doubts with BAPI

Hi,
1) Can we use both Tables and Changing parameters while creating Function modules and BAPI? Please tell the difference b/w Tables and Changing?
2) Is it mandatory that we should pass internal tables with out header line through FM and BAPI?
3) Is it mandatory that Parameters that we pass should be "pass by value"?
Thanks in advance...

HI..,
1)We can use TABLES but we should not use CHANGING ...
Changing is in a way BY REFERENCE onli...
2)We can pass internal tables With header line also to the BAPI function module..
3)Yes it is mandatory that we need to pass the parameters only by Value ... Because RFC enabled function modules doesnot support "By Reference".

Doubt in BAPI

Hi All I have a doubt in BAPI.
I have created a function module which is remote enabled module. I didnu2019t create any BAPI using Tcode SWO1 or BAPI. Am using this function module in my VB code to get the data from SAP, Its working fine am getting all data from SAP database.
My Question is since we can use sap Function module (which is remote enabled module) with out creating BAPI. Then what is the use of creating BAPI.?
If we click on radio button Remote enabled module is that function module act as BAPI?
Please help me.
Regards
Prajwal K.

Hi Prajwal,
Please check this link
RFC and BAPI Interfaces to SAP Systems
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/cf/8ccab761ea11d2804a00c04fada2a1/content.htm
BAPI's are the remote enabled Function modules which are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as the methods of the business objects.I can say BAPI is the subset of RFC. RFC connects to the other system via BAPI and vice versa.
BAPI methods are RFC enabled function modules. The difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call.Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs.BAPI is having all Key fields, methods, interfaces etc.
Best regards,
raam

Performance issues with Bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY...

Hello,
I have a Z program to check ATP which is working with Bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY....
As I am in the retail system we have performance issues with this bapi due the huge amount of articles in the system we need to calculate the ATP.
any way to improve the performance?
Thanks and best regards
L

The BAPI appears to execute for only one plant/material, etc., at a time, so I would have to concentrate on making data retrieval and post-bapi processing as efficient as possible. In your trace output, how much of your overall time is consumed by the BAPI? How much by the other code? You might find improvements there...

Reg: Mandatory fields updation with BAPI

Hi..
We are working on BDC using BAPI. In this if flat files contians only 4 fields and the mandatory fields in the application are seven then system needs to through error message. But with BAPI the program is updating the database without throwing error eventhough all mandatory fileds are not filled up with data.. Where exactly we need to do modifications to get error message when mandatory fields are not filled up with input.
Regards

Hi Verendra
Sometimes the function modules/BAPI's used by SAP do a direct update on the database tables. In such scnearios the entries are created in the system even though if the mandatory entries are not filled.
If the number of mandatory fields are small, then before the BAPI call, check if all the mandatory fields are filled or not;throw error in case of empty fields & bypass the BAPI call.
In case the mandatory fields are too high, then in that case, please use BDC recording to update the data.

Problem in lock Sales order create with BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Hi All,
i have the z program to create the sales order with reff quotation in SD With BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
this program will excute every 30 mins .
Problem: Some times if i excute the program in background it is taking morethan 30mins so second batch excution also gets starting to create the sales order for same quotation then it is creating 2 sales orders at atime with 1 quotation.
here i am getting duplicate sales orders so i want to lock the creation of duplicate sales order.

Some solutions
- Just lock (ENQUEUE) any object at the start of the job(*), if not locked, you can exit or wait in a loop, will be released at end of job (use a _SCOPE '3' so commit work wont release the lock)
-> This will insure the job runs only once at a time
- Lock the quotation before calling the BAPI, will be released by the COMMIT_WORK (from where do you fetch the quotation, if it is a customer Z_table, you can use the lock object that you have surely created ?) (use a _scope '2')
-> This will insure that at most one job will convert a quotation (i suppose you set a "done" flag or status in the quotation record)
Read [SAP Locks |http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENSAP_LOCK.htm] if you are not familiar with the concept of lock in SAP.

How to create SynBO with BAPIs from R/3 server?

Hi,
Can I get any documents or links regarding Syncbo creation with BAPIs from another R/3 server. I think I have to create RFC destination for this. The steps for creating RFC destination in Netweaver 2004s is also helpful for me.
Also I need the required configurations also.
Regards
Shemim

Hi Shemin,
Refer the following link for Mobile Development Kit
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/21eba3a7-0601-0010-b982-92f1fca3258a
This will provide you with rules of creating BAPI wrappers and sample BAPI wrappers.
For creating RFC destination, contact your BASIS team member. You may not rights to do it by yourself. They will also tell the exact prodecure. It start with transaction SM59.

Process flow with BAPIs

Hi experts,
as we will try to built the Travel management in SAP CE, we want to trigger the whole travel management flow with BAPIs.
The following already works:
- Creation of trip BAPI_TRIP_CREATE_FROM_DATA
- Approval of trip via BAPI_TRIP_APPROVE
But now I don't know how to proceed.
As I've seen in PR05, the status has then be changed to settled.
Afterwards it can be sent to FI via transaction PRFI.
And then the posting in FI can be done in PRRW.
Is that flow correct?
What are the BAPIs to use for that?
Is it BAPI_ACC_TRAVEL_POST?
DoI also need BAPI_PAYROLLTRAVELEXPNSESPOST?
Could please somebody of you give me an example for calling those functions?
Unfortunately you have to specify a lot of parameters and I don't find much about it on SDN.
Is there a way to retrieve this data first using only personnel number and trip number?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Eddie,
For settling and posting the travel cost into the system, you can use t-code - PREC, PRFI and PRRW.
Best Regards,
Raj

Problem with BAPI BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE

Hello,
I have problems with BAPI BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE. I need to create Purchase requisition for services. If I use BAPI BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE, Purchasing requisition is created, but field NETWR in table EBNK is 0. If I create purchasing requisition manualy using transaction ME51N, field NETWR in table EBNK is filled with correct price.
Can you pls. help me, what do I wrong in calling BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE?
Thanks&regards,

Not sure if you got your answer or went to OSS for a resolution. But, as I was searching OSS for my issue, I came across the following note:

Doubt with a Insert query!

hi friends i have a doubt with a query in sql here is the following code.
INSERT INTO
                     (SELECT employee_id, last_name,
                                  email, hire_date, job_id, salary,
                                  department_id
                       FROM employees
                      WHERE department_id = 50)
           VALUES (99999, 'Taylor', 'DTAYLOR',
                        TO_DATE('07-JUN-99', 'DD-MON-RR'),
                         'ST_CLERK', 5000, 50);The same insert statement can be achieved with
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES (employee_id, last_name,
                                  email, hire_date, job_id, salary,
                                  department_id)
                    VALUES (99999, 'Taylor', 'DTAYLOR',
                        TO_DATE('07-JUN-99', 'DD-MON-RR'),
                         'ST_CLERK', 5000, 50);What advantage does the first query have over the second one.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Regards,
Manoj

Those two statements are identical.
However this one would be different:
INSERT INTO
(SELECT employee_id, last_name,
        email, hire_date, job_id, salary,
        department_id
   FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 50
   with check option )
VALUES (99999, 'Taylor', 'DTAYLOR', TO_DATE('07-JUN-99', 'DD-MON-RR'), 'ST_CLERK', 5000, 50);The "WITH CHECK OPTION" would guarantee that only employees for department 50 are inserted.

Rewrite process and remove the call to f-54 and replace with bapi proces

Hi Gurus,
Please help me to find the soultion.
The root cause of this continual problem is the design and use of BDC session for F-54. Is there a redesign possible with ECC6.0?
I wanted to rewrite the process and remove the call to f-54 and replace with bapi process.
if this is now possible in ECC 6.0
The benefit would be to better control what PO was used in the DP recoupment.
Thanking you,
Raju Singhireddy.

LSMW with bapi BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE

Hi
I'm creating an LSMW for create purchase requisition with Bapi (BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE)
I'm trying to upload 2 items for a PR but the LSMW is creating 2 PR with each item.
How can I tell to the LSMW that I have to item for the same PR?
Remember this bapi doesn't has header.

Hi,
you need to define hierarchy in your in put file to merge required lines into one BAPI call. You can find some examples how to create order with multiple items (for example [this one|http://www.scribd.com/doc/6646673/Lsmw-With-Bapi]). So you can easily adapt it to your BAPI.
Cheers
