Create Equipment Master

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am trying to create equipment master records using transaction IE01. I have planned to do this by using call transaction method. But it is observed that for each of the equipment categories the number of screens are varying in the transaction. Can any one please suggest how to handle this scenarion while recording.

Thanks

Try this BAPI

<b>BAPI_EQUI_CREATE</b>

Short Text

PM BAPI: Create Equipment

Functionality

This module is used for creating a new piece of equipment.

Notes

General notes in BAPIs for processing individual technical objects:

A BAPI for creating or changing master data receives these notes using the parameter DATA_GENERAL (structure: BAPI_ITOB). Object-specific data is processed using the parameter DATA_SPECIFIC:

Functional locations: DATA_SPECIFIC (structure: BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY)

Equipment: DATA_SPECIFIC (structure: BAPI_ITOB_EQ_ONLY)

Each BAPI returns the processed data to the caller in the parameter DATA_GENERAL_EXP (structure: BAPI_ITOB) independently of the activity to be performed (Create/Change/Read). Object-specific data is returned to the caller using the parameter DATA_SPECIFIC_EXP:

Functional locations: DATA_SPECIFIC_EXP (structure: BAPI_ITOB_FL_ONLY)

Equipment: DATA_SPECIFIC_EXP (structure: BAPI_ITOB_EQ_ONLY)

The system returns any error messages in the parameter RETURN.

In Customizing (field selection) for master data dialogs, entries defined as mandatory are generally not checked by the BAPIs.

Special notes on the module BAPI_EQUI_CREATE:

You can define external number assignment by setting the parameter EXTERNAL_NUMBER.

The valid-from date for the piece of equipment to be created can be determined using the parameter VALID_DATE.

The parameter DATA_INSTALL can be used to install the piece of equipment to be created in a functional location or a superior piece of equipment.

The parameter DATA_FLEET can be used to enter vehicle-specific data. This data is returned to the caller via the parameter DATA_FLEET_EXP.
