Segment for WBS element in Inbound Sales Order Idoc

Question

Hi gurus,

Hello,
        As far as I know, there is no Segment / Field definition in ORDERS05 for WBS Element as it is not mandatory information to be filled in order for the Sales Order to be Complete. So, you need to create an Extension of the IDoc Type ORDERS05. For your requirement, here is the Approach I have.
1. Create an extension for IDoc Type ORDERS05 to ZORDER05 with a Custom Segment Z1EDP01 in which you'll have the Custom Field Name VBAP-PS_PSP_PNR which is the WBS Element field in VBAP Table.
2. Now, use the Customer Exit EXIT_SAPLVEDA_001 in the Enhancement VEDA0001 in which you can actually populate the Field WBS Element that would be already available in the Inbound IDoc to store it in a Work Area. As you are aware, you'll need to create a Project in CMOD for the same.
3. Export the same to some MEMORY ID 'XXX'.
4. Come back to the Selection Program for ORDER05 which is IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS in which you'll find the below CASE Statement.
    CASE xaprau.
          WHEN ' '.
            PERFORM call_va01_new_orders USING ok.
          WHEN 'Q'.
Aufruf Transaktion Auftragerfassung VA01 mit Bezug auf Angebot
call transaction Order Entry VA01 with refer to quote number.
            PERFORM call_va01_new_orders_angbt USING ok.
          WHEN 'C'.
Aufruf Transaktion Auftragerfassung VA01 mit Bezug auf Kontrakt
call transaction Order Entry VA01 with refer to contract number
            PERFORM call_va01_new_orders_contk USING ok.
          WHEN 'L'.
5. Now, since our Standard Order Type (VBAK-VBTYP) is 'C',
    we'll have to choose the Subroutine for the 'C' Option.
6. In this Subroutine, there is another Subroutine va01_dynpro_kopf_kaufmann_kde2 which is for populating Custom Dynpro Fields for the Sales Order. So, we need to choose the same Subroutine inside which we have to Create an Enhancement Implementation.
7. In this Enhancement Implementation (Implicit), we have to IMPORT the value of the WBS Element which was exported in the Customer Exit.
8. Check if it is initial. If it is not, then Call the Perform as below.
     IF NOT WA_Z1EDP01 IS INITIAL. "Checking if the Segment
                                                       " is Empty
   PERFORM DYNPRO_SETZEN USING 'COBL-PS_POSID' WA_Z1EDP01-ZZWBSELEMENT.
ENDIF.
9. Since the Sales Orders are posting using BDC here, by calling the above Subroutine DYNPRO_xxx, we are appending our Custom Segment / Field value to the BDC_DATA table.
10. In Step 8, I've given the Notation for Work Area. It will also be applicable when there are multiple Line Items. All you have to do is to EXPORT an Internal Table instead of Work Area and use the same here for each Line Item.
11. I've given you above procedure because I've worked on similar requirement in which I had to populate the Special Processing Indicator instead of WBS Element.
Hope it would be helpful for you.
