Withholding taxes not updated when program run in background

Question

Hi,
in a z1 report i do:
  SUBMIT z2
  VIA JOB lc_jobname
   NUMBER v_jobcount
     WITH p_fecha  = p_fecha                               
     WITH p_file   = v_file_in
     WITH p_e_file = p_efile 
     WITH p_client = p_client
     WITH p_test   = p_test  
      AND RETURN.
within this z2 report i do:
          PERFORM mrm_invoice_create_call(saplmrm_bapi)     USING     s_rbkpv
                                                       tab_frseg[]
                                                       tab_co[]
                                                       tab_ma[]
                                                       c_rbstat_posted
                                                       space
                                             CHANGING  invoicedocnumber
                                                       fiscalyear
                                                       return[]
                                                       f_subrc.
          IF test IS INITIAL.
            COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
          ELSE.
            ROLLBACK WORK.
          ENDIF.
the question is that if i run z1 report online there is no problem but if
i run z1 report in background, withholding taxes are not calculated.
After debugging this is what i´ve found out:
1.- in PERFORM mrm_invoice_create_call(saplmrm_bapi) there is a call to fm FI_WT_POST IN UPDATE TASK
2.- in FI_WT_POST table WITH_ITEM is updated
i guess this could be due to a delay in updating the table so i´m considering doing a WAIT UP TO X SECONDS.
why is it working in online mode but not in background mode?
any idea?
Best regards.

Answer 1

Hi,
in case someone is interested this is how i solved the question:
i had badi MRM_WT_SPLIT_UPDAT implemented.
in this badi implementation i had this code (among other checks too):
CHECK sy-tcode = 'MIR4' OR sy-tcode = 'MIR7'.
this code avoided the background job case.
It seems that In a background job sy-tcode is empty.
so i just needed to add this:
CHECK sy-tcode = 'MIR4' OR sy-tcode = 'MIR7' OR  sy-batch = 'X'.
and then withholding taxes reappeared again.
(so sad, so true... one day of debugging,  sigh)
Best regards.
