ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE: create one item

[vallamuthu_madheswaran2]

Hi All,

I am using ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE to update EKES table for mass PO confirmation and facing a problem . When we update it using the above FM used in our program after confirmation we are getting 2 records in transaction MD04 one for Shipping notification and other for PO item but when we confirm a PO manually

then the PO item record gets replaced with shipping notification record.

Thanks with Regards,

Hi,

After  FM ME_CONFIRMATION_UPDATE call FM ME_CONFIRMATION_REDISTR_ITEMS by passing PO number and line item number.

Thanks and regards,

Greeshma.

Hi Greeshma,

Thanks for your update.

It's creating both Shipping notification and PO item.

Don't forget that use of update task FM (*) may trigger database inconsistencies (**) and is definitely not good practices.

Did you try to use standard BAPI_PO_CHANGE (***)?

(*) Those FM are called at end of transaction, after error check and in whole batch, and executed in update task after the COMMIT WORK.

(**) Even if a full analyze of standard transaction usage of those FM is performed, you won't prevent loss of warranty in case of database problem (7 - Error caused by customer modification/development.)

Raymond,

Unfortunately SAP did not care about confirmations with these BAPI.

Thanks
