BAPI EXTENSION for VBKD

[former_member404270]

Hi Experts,

I am using BAPI 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE' for updating VBKD custom field. As I learned that extension structure( EXTENSIONIN) can accommodate only up to 960 characters , I have a custom field in VBAKKOM structure located at 259 index past 1500 characters. I cannot modify the structure VBAKKOM also. Please let me know if there is any way I can use the BAPI to update my custom field in VBKD table.

Thank you,

You can export the data using a FM (and storing the same in the global variable of the FM) and call the FM inside MV45AFZZ to update the custom fields.

Thanks,

Hi Vikram,

Thank you for the response.

I am sorry I didn't mention that I am using the BAPI in a custom report and I should refrain from doing any changes to SAPMV45A. My question still stands the same , since I want to use BAPI extension only.

Thanks,

Using the user exit MV45AFZZ is not modification to SAPMV45A since this user exit will not be modified by SAP.

Are you saying that you have so many Z fields within the sales order that its past the 960 chars of the extension structure?

Yes,there are around 280 fields in VBAKKOM  structure and the field I want to use is at index 259 , that's way beyond 960 characters.

If your requirement is ONLY to use the extensionin parameter of the interface, how do you update the other fields using this option?
