Update Opportunity partners

Question

Hi Experts,
i've created a report to massively update the opportunity into a CRM 6.0 system. I'm facing an issue while updating the partners: when i run the report i delete the partern using these functions in this order
-CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
lt_partner_com is the table for the parameter it_partner:
ls_partner_com-kind_of_entry = 'C'.
ls_partner_com-no_type = 'BP'. "-> if it is a business partner number
ls_partner_com-display_type = 'BP'. "-> if it is a business partner number
ls_partner_com-ref_kind = 'A'.
ls_partner_com-ref_guid = gs_outtab-guid. "-> OPPORTUNITY Guid number
ls_partner_com-ref_partner_fct = ls_partner-ref_partner_fct.  "-> Partner function to erase
APPEND ls_partner_com TO lt_partner_com.
lt_input_fields is the table for the parameter ct_input_fields:
ls_input_fields-ref_guid = gs_outtab-guid. "-> OPPORTUNITY Guid number
ls_input_fields-ref_kind = 'A'.
ls_input_fields-objectname = 'PARTNER'.
CONCATENATE ls_partner-ref_partner_handle ls_partner-ref_partner_fct INTO ls_input_fields-logical_key.
ls_field_names-fieldname = 'PARTNER_FCT'.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
APPEND ls_input_fields TO lt_input_fields.
-CRM_ORDER_SAVE
-BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT (and wait)
-CRM_ORDER_INITIALIZE
then i use the same functions to add the new partner:
-CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN
lt_partner_com is the table for the parameter it_partner:
ls_partner_com-ref_kind = 'A'.
ls_partner_com-kind_of_entry = 'A'.
ls_partner_com-no_type = 'BP'. "-> if it is a business partner number
ls_partner_com-display_type = 'BP'. "-> if it is a business partner number
ls_partner_com-ref_guid = gs_outtab-guid. "-> OPPORTUNITY Guid number
ls_partner_com-partner_fct = p_partfn.  "-> Partner function to add
ls_partner_com-partner_no = p_partnn.
APPEND ls_partner_com TO lt_partner_com.
lt_input_fields is the table for the parameter ct_input_fields:
ls_input_fields-ref_guid = gs_outtab-guid. "-> OPPORTUNITY Guid number
ls_input_fields-ref_kind = 'A'.
ls_input_fields-objectname = 'PARTNER'.
CONCATENATE ls_partner-ref_partner_handle ls_partner-ref_partner_fct INTO ls_input_fields-logical_key.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
ls_field_names-fieldname = 'DISPLAY_TYPE'.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
ls_field_names-fieldname = 'NO_TYPE'.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
ls_field_names-fieldname = 'PARTNER_FCT'.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
ls_field_names-fieldname = 'PARTNER_NO'.
APPEND ls_field_names TO ls_input_fields-field_names.
APPEND ls_input_fields TO lt_input_fields.
-CRM_ORDER_SAVE
-BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT (and wait)
-CRM_ORDER_INITIALIZE
The first time i run the report, the partner is deleted, but is not added (and no errors from any function). The report display an AVL (it's a log); If I go back to the selection screen and run the report again, the partner is added correctly.
Someone has some idea? Thank you,
Antonio.

Hi,
I have also faced this situation while doing a product catalog upload program. But the solution to this which worked for me was not at all performance friendly.
I used WAIT UPTO n SECONDS and later BUFFER_SUBSCRIBE_FOR_REFRESH to get the desired result.
I don't know if this will work for you or not.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Sidd
