    I wrote to Gregor yesterday because I wasn't managing to connect to his system. He's fixed my problem and asked me to post here in case anyone else has tried to do the same thing.

    Thanks, Gregor!

    Hello Gregor,

    I like this idea.

    I see a potential problem (atleast in my case) that developers behind their corporate firewall cannot access this test system.

    Is it possible to enable these BAPI's as WebServices (I assume this is simple) hence enabling developers behind their corporate firewall to program against these web services.

    Thanks and regards,

    Bala.

    I don't seem to be able to make a connection to Gregor's system this morning - not sure if it's down. Just wondered if anyone else is having the same problem?

    Thanks!

    Hi Gregor,

    Thanks for the reply! I can access the WebGUI, but I can't manage to connect to the system using RFC calls, although that was working fine a couple of days ago. 😔 Has anything changed?

    Hi Gregor,

    Maybe the problem will be fixed by the time you see this, but just thought I should let you know we seem to have the same situation this morning: Webgui is fine but no rfc access...

    Wonder if I'm the only one playing with SAP on a Sunday morning 😉

    Hello Gregor,

    I just had a couple of questions...

    On your availability check screen you have a field to enter the EAN and I was wondering which BAPI you were calling to make it possible to search just on that. The best I can manage is:

    1. BAPI_MATERIAL_GETLIST

    2. BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL for each of the material numbers returned in 1

    3. List the materials where EAN_UPC matches the selection

    but I don't think that's going to be a very efficient way of doing things. 😔

    I was also interested in the display of the pdf of the delivery note. Is that something that you've automated?

    Thanks!

    Catherine

      Hi Catherine,

      thank you for your interrest in my Contest. I've provided now the Function Module "Z_GET_MATERIAL_FOR_EAN" which returns the Material Number for a given EAN Code. The EAN Code for Material "P-100" is "2050000000003".

      The PDF is created from the Smartform. But you don't have provide a solution for this.

      Regards

      Gregor

    I've just realised that I never posted a 'thank you' for this. 😔

    Sorry, Gregor! And thanks...
