Header text update problem for BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE

Hi,
We are in the process of converting the BDC for Contract creation ME31 into BAPI.
For the purpose we had identified the BAPI,
BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE.
The bapi works fine , except it doest not update the Header Text.
The parameters passed for header text are
Text ID : K01.
Text Form : *
Text line : ( Header text content).
We are working on ECC6.0.
Pls advice me how to proceed.
Regards
harish

Hi Harish,
  Can you please give me a brief idea on how you are using this BAPI?
1) What would be the format of excel file?
2) Does the BAPI work for both create and update ?
3) Any know limitation ?
4) Any documentation you have or you can point me to on the web regarding this BAPI?
Thanks
AK

  • Header text not printed for scheduling agreement

    Hi All,
    I have issue with header text print out for scheduling agreement (SA).
    In SA when I am manually writing some note and then taking print out, system is giving me correct output with maual note.
    I have one standard text (ST) which I need to be printed in evry SA, so in SPRO I created new head text for vendor and in copying rule for text for SA, I created linkage of SA header text with Vendor head text.
    In vendor master, I inserted ST in newly created vendor header text.
    So now when ever I create new SA for vendor system will determin header text from vendor master.
    Now after creating SA when I check the SA, I am able to my ST in SA, but at the time of print out this ST in not printing.
    Please let me know what could be the reson.
    Regards,
    Sameer

    I dont understand about what you mean by expand.
    When you a print PO, PO text  (header or item) it will check to the configuration setting.
    The system didnt care if its adopted from vendor master or info record, or whatever you make in the copying rule.
    In your case : you create a standard text then it get copied into PO , then you set the standard text to the PO for print out, example the standard text : word is
    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    Then in the PO the text appear will be like below(the same, because it get copied)
    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    If you configure it in define text for SA, then it the print out it will also (the same)
    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    So what text need to expand?

  • Reg: Header text updation in VL02n transaction

    Hi Experts,
    i have one requirement in return delivery.
    I am executing one customizing trasaction, and it displays screen.
    In that screen i am editing the fileds and when i click on the save button i need to update in delivery transaction header texts (VL02n transaction goto header texts).

    Hi,
    Use the SAVE-TEXT FM as below.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
           EXPORTING
                HEADER    = LS_THEAD
           IMPORTING
                NEWHEADER = LS_THEAD
           TABLES
                LINES     = TLINETAB
           EXCEPTIONS
                ID        = 1
                LANGUAGE  = 2
                NAME      = 3
                OBJECT    = 4
                OTHERS    = 5.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    Where LS_THEAD, CONTAINS:
                                            TDOBJECT                                             VBBK

                                            TDSPRAS                                             E.
    You can find this details, when you go to the transaction(VL02N) and enter some text and do the debug on  SAVE_TEXT FM, then get the values it uses to save the text, use the same in you program.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Srini.

    But when I try to do these update, it always fails and I can see in the Event logs, this message :
    Number of Packages Selected for Install : 1

    Install Invoked by user : admin
    The Package(s) Selected for Install :

    WARNING :  CVGenericPackage(1.5):Consistency check failed for base package SwitchAddletsWhat can I do to update my CiscoWorks please ?
    No package(s) to install for : CiscoView
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Stephane.

    And for each individual device package I'm trying to update, I receive this error message :
    Error
    The installation of device package(s) failed.
    Check Software Center > Activity Log > Event Log for details.
    And the Event log show me this (for example, for the Cat3560 package) :
    Number of Packages Selected for Install : 1
    For Product(s) : CiscoView
    Install Invoked by user : admin
    The Package(s) Selected for Install :
    Cat3560
    No package(s) to install for : CiscoView
    But when I do Device Update again (even if I Stop and Restart the Deamon Manager), I still see the same device packages list.
    This problem is very annoying.
    Do you want me to upload any other log ?

  • 10.6.6 update problems for MySQL

    I tried this in another area, but received no responses... trying again here.
    I just performed the 10.6.6 update and following restart, I can no longer get MySQL to start up. There was a similar problem with a previous update (I believe in Oct 2010). At that time, MySQL was starting up, but Apple had changed the location of "mysql.sock" (socket file) to a non-standard location (from "/var/mysql/" to "/tmp"). Unfortunately they forgot to tell users that they were doing this and it about a week before someone (a user) discovered the source of the problem and create a solution. As a full-time, large-scale web developer, that cost me a week's worth of income!
    Once again, MySQL will not start up, but apparently for totally different reasons (and again without any forewarning from Apple. MySQL will not start from the command line either, but gives no indication why it fails. I've now spoken with 3 Apple Support techs, including a "Senior Advisor". None of them even knew that MySQL was part of the standard OS-X installation!
    Has anyone else experienced this problem or could suggest possible solutions? I am desperate to get this figured out, as I'm supposed to fly out of Denver to New Orleans on Monday morning to do a major site installation and I can't even get to the data on my MacBook Pro to upgrade the MySQL installation on my web servers.
    HELP!!!

    After trying everything I could think of, I finally just gave up and did a clean reinstall of the MySQL application. At this point, I had MySQL loading again. At some point, it mysteriously quit working again, so I repeated the process. Unfortunately, since I reinstalled the same version as the previous, the NEW install overwrote the OLD install and wiped out over 100 databases (48 active, the rest backup and Dev versions) during the installation.
    No problem, right? I'll just recover from my Time Machine backup. First, however, since I've been traveling over the holidays, my most current Time Machine backup was Dec 17. Second, I couldn't figure out a way to get Time Machine to restore anything in the hidden directories (/etc/, /usr/local... ), without doing a full reinstall, which would have resulted in loss of considerable work performed in the past 3 weeks.
    Logging into Terminal as root, I was able to walk my way through the various backup folders in an attempt to find the most recent backups of each database. After 36 hours of continuous tinkering (counting a 7 hr span to create a fresh "clone" for safety), I finally have it working again. I know without a doubt, that I've lost a great deal of database work, which will mean doing a lot of duplicate effort. But at least I'm up and running again. And I realize that on a Windows box things could have been much worse. But who wants to do anything twice (unless you get paid for it both times)?
    In short, there was no quick and easy "solution". The lesson to be learned? Never, never, never do a simple OS upgrade, without first doing a full backup (even if it does take 7+ hours)! I hope this at least helps someone else avoid the same headache.
    Thanks for your feedback.

  • Firmware update problem for Nokia 7373

    Just updated to firmware v5.0 for my Nokia 7373 and everything seem to work fine except when I go access my 'GOTO' menu. Then it crashes my phone ( well it's freezes my phone up).
    I go through the update as required with the Software update - even tried reinstalling it and still gets the same result.
    Can anyone help me out either revert back to the old firmware or fix the problem?
    Thanks

    go to control panel.....add or remove programs....then on nokia connectivity calbe driver clik repair

  • Column Header Text not displaying for multi-set column block

    Hello,
    I have assigned a key figure set to a column block in a report writer report in ECC 6 using table FAGLFLEXT with both additional text functionality use and without use of additional text.
    I can't get the column headings text for these key figure sets in the column block to appear on a report writer report.
    Your assistance in getting the column headings text to appear will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael Hamp

    For more clarity, and to make sure that the error is not in my database or series query, I have replicated the error online here:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=27270:4
    I plotted 3 series in the first region, including one series with no data for one period.
    I plotted the fourth series in the second region, which has no data for 2 months. When I try to plot this in the first chart, nothing is displayed.
    I can't understand why this is happening, I hope that there is a solution for this. I can share the workspace password where the above application is, if some one wants to take a look.
