Repair Order using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2

Question

Hi,
  I am creating a Repairs order using the above BAPI, but it does not provide the functionality to add Servicable Material and Repair Information.
  there was a similar forum where it was mentioned to use 'SD_SALES_DOCU_MAINTAIN', I am not sure where to pass this info and if this FM is safe to be directly used..
Regards,
Kaustubh.

Hi Kaustubh,
We are using 'SD_SALES_DOCU_MAINTAIN' to create the Repair Order and its working fine for us. We came at this conclusion only after extensive testing and debugging the standard BAPI.
The material vbapkom-matnr is 'REPAIR' in our case. You should check with your functional person about the same.
You need to populate the vbapkom-zmeng (quantity).
The servicable material field is vbapkom-matnr_g which is the actual material that needs repair.
You also need to populate the vbapkom-menge_g which is the servicable material quantity
Apart from this you have to populate the schedule line table vbepkom, partner table vbapkom and header structure.
My call looks like this       CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SALES_DOCU_MAINTAIN'
        EXPORTING
          i_vbakkom                 = wa_vbakkom
          i_call_bapi               = 'X'
          suppress_availibility_dia = 'X'
          status_buffer_refresh     = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          e_vbak                    = wa_vbak
        TABLES
          ix_vbapkom                = lt_vbapkom
          ix_vbpakom                = lt_vbpakom
          ix_vbepkom                = lt_vbepkom
          return                    = lt_bapireturn
          ix_text_header            = lt_text_head.
Do let me know if you need any other information.

P.S.- You can also use the standard BAPI for doing this. But in that case you have to append fields matnr_g and menge_g to the item table vbap and then populate the extension table 'EXTENSIONIN' of the standard BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
