Problem in WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 ?

Hi All,
I am using BAPI  , WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 to update VL02N. I developed one application using that i am updating.
For Ex : One delivery contains 2 materials, 1 and 2 are the respective delivery quantities. If i select both materials and i give 1 and 2 as pick quantity, it is executing fine and updating delivery correctly.
case 1 : suppose, if i give pick qty 1 for first item and for sec item also 1, it is updating 2nd item pick qty only ( i.e., 1 ).
case 2 : If i select both items and give pick qty as 1 for 1st item 2nd item, it is updating 2nd item only ( i.e. 1 ).
My questing is, suppose for one item i may pick 1 qty at one time and 1 qty at next time, so toal pick qty is 2. how can i update this??? any ideas?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
     Try another FM  'SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PICKING'.  I have used this for picking.
Sample code:-

  • Delivery POD(CRR) Status upate problem in FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2

    Hey guys,
    I am using FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 to create a POD for a delivery, it is creating the POD, but it isn't updating the status POD in that delivery, and this happens because in fact he is not confirming the POD created.
    I am setting in the VBKOK_WA the KZPOD field with the value B for him to verify and confirm the POD, and also the fields PODAT and POTIM, also i am filling the table TVPOD_TAB with the data needed to create.
    For last, i filled also the table VBPOK_TAB with the delivery and items to "update" and setting in the field KZPOD the value B.
    Can you give me a tip about what is happening for he to don't confirm the POD and update the status in the delivery?
    Note: I have tried without using the vbpok_tab table and the result was the same.
    Thanks in advice,
    Carlos Soares

    Hi Carlos,
    You could check the parameter of the WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2, it seems it should be:
    CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2'
      EXPORTING
        vbkok_wa  = ls_vbkok
        delivery  = iv_outb_vbeln
      TABLES
        vbpok_tab = lt_vbpok
        prot      = gt_prot
    Take a look at the SAP note 877234.
    Regards,
    Christian Rosa

  • WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 - picked quantity with negative values

    Hello All,
    I have a problem when I call function WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2.
    I have to update picked quantity from the delivery. If I have to update qty from 2 to 3, there is no problem. The corresponding parameter (pikmg) will contain '1' and the new values will be 3.
    But the problem is when I want to have a smaller value. If I have to update qty from 3 to 2, the parameter will contain '-1' , but this parameter can only have positive values, so an error message is returned.
    Does anyone know how to specify a smaller picked quantity or how to decrease this quantity?
    Can anyone help me?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Regarding WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 and COMMIT WORK AND WAIT

    Hi Experts,
    My problem is, when I try to update 1 record more than 1 time, the data(Item delivery quantity)getting cleared  after 2 or 3 attempts. Sometimes it was happening for 5 time and so on..
    If i do debugg, it was not happening.
    I was using Z F.M. i.e. - ZWM_SAISIE_PAL_LIV. This F.M has WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2.
    Below i have mentioned my code.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Packing materials in delivery problem

    Hi ,
      I m creating handling units with BAPI_HU_CREATE and then packing them with BAPI_HU_PACK. But the problem is the items that i pack dont go away from my lower table in delivery, they remain available for packing.
    My objective is to programmatically do the following
    1. Create handling units
    2. Pack items in the delivery in the handling units
    Will give points for the right answer, especially code. Thanks for reading

    Hi,
    To pack items in handling unit linked to a delivery, you can use FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2.
    Here is an example of the call of FM:
    w_vbkok-vbeln_vl = p_vbeln. "delivery number
    w_verko-exidv = wa_vekp_pal-exidv. "HU in which you pack
    APPEND w_verko TO i_verko.
    CLEAR w_verpo.
    w_verpo-exidv_ob = wa_vekp_pal-exidv.
    w_verpo-EXIDV = wa_vekp_col-exidv.
    w_verpo-velin = '3'. " 3 to pack a HU in another one
    " 1 to pack a material in a HU
    w_verpo-vbeln = p_vbeln.
    APPEND w_verpo TO i_verpo.
    CLEAR i_repack.
    w_repack-desthu = wa_vekp_pal-exidv. "HU in which you pack
    w_repack-sourcehu = wa_vekp_col-exidv. "HU to be packed
    w_repack-packhu = 'X'.
    APPEND w_repack TO i_repack.
    CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2'
    EXPORTING
    vbkok_wa = w_vbkok "delivery number
    delivery = p_vbeln
    TABLES
    prot = i_prot
    verko_tab = i_verko
    verpo_tab = i_verpo
    it_repack = i_repack
    EXCEPTIONS
    error_message = 1
    OTHERS = 2.

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }

    You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
    However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
    You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

    N.B. And yes there are more articles and tutorials available but much of them targets the Java SE / EE, but if you want to read them here is [another great one straight from SUN|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/index.html] .

  • J2ME problem with threads

    Hi all,
    I would like to ask you for a help. I need to write a small program at my university. I started to write a midlet which function would be to countdown time for sports activities. I woul like to start a new thread - the one that counts down - and at the same time make the main thread sleep. After the "countdown" thread finishes, the main thread wakes up and waits for user input. The problem is that when the "countdown" thread finishes his work, I've got Uncaught exception java/lang/NullPointerException. error and the midlet halts.

    Groovemaker,
    Your Licznik class has a member m of type monitor, which has not been instantiated (in other words is null) hence, when calling m.put() you get NullPointerException. Please also mind, that using Thread.sleep(1000) is not an accurate way of measuring time.
    If I may, please use recommended for Java class naming conventions - some of your names use lower case, while other don't which is confusing to the reader.

  • Problem with threads within applet

    Hello,
    I got an applet, inside this applet I have a singleton, inside this singleton I have a thread.
    this thread is running in endless loop.
    he is doing something and go to sleep on and on.
    the problem is,
    when I refresh my IE6 browser I see more than 1 thread.
    for debug matter, I did the following things:
    inside the thread, sysout every time he goes to sleep.
    sysout in the singleton constructor.
    sysout in the singleton destructor.
    the output goes like this:
    when refresh the page, the singleton constructor loading but not every refresh, sometimes I see the constructor output and sometimes I dont.
    The thread inside the singleton is giving me the same output, sometime I see more than one thread at a time and sometimes I dont.
    The destructor never works (no output there).
    I don't understand what is going on.
    someone can please shed some light?
    thanks.
    btw. I am working with JRE 1.1
    this is very old and big applet and I can't convert it to something new.

    Ooops. sorry!
    I did.

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with threads running javaw

    Hi,
    Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
