Automatic Period Splitting with BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE

[marc_laberge]

Hi,

We are trying to use BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE to create Planned Independent from IBP.

In my current customer, they use automatic splitting of weeks in to days for PIR.

The current configuration says that the first 16 weeks should be split in days.

If I run the BAPI, the numbers entered in more than 16 weeks in the future are still split in Days.

Is there a reason ? This is currently working for transfer from Flexible Planning by the way.

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc

This is an interesting question. The documentation says that the automatic split only happens when PIRs are created from a reference (see my answer on thread Automatic Split and MD67 | SCN).

Therefore, I would not expect to see automatic split when using this BAPI. Are you calling this BAPI on a custom program? Are you sure that the the logic to split is not happening on your custom program?

Well, I'm currently only testing manually from SE37.

We'll call the BAPI directly through a Web Service.

I'm not sure I fully understand what a "from a reference" means.
