Uploading ZFields with BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' using ExtensionIN gives error

[former_member1523]

Hi friends,

i m using 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' for uploading my data, it was running fine, but now have to add option to upload some customer fields through this , which i m unable to do.

I read alot , and found ExtensionIN table of BAPI, which can be used to upload the customer fields , but even after using it, gets following error message : -

"Error transferring ExtensionIn data for enhancement CI_EKKODB"

for the reference, here are the structures

-

'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'

PO_NUMBER	EBELN		CHAR	10	0	Purchasing Document Number

But when i execute this code i get following error message :-

and PO is created without passing the value to database.

Where i m wrong ,plz help.

Please check this Declaration .

*&&-- PO Custom Fields

rec_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM'.

rec_extensionin-valuepart1+0(5) = v_item.

rec_extensionin-valuepart15(235) = rec_podata-value_00120(235).

rec_extensionin-valuepart20(20) = rec_podata-value_0012235(20).

rec_extensionin-valuepart2+20(50) = rec_podata-value_0026.

rec_extensionin-valuepart2+70(50) = rec_podata-value_0027.

rec_extensionin-valuepart2+120(50) = rec_podata-value_0028.

rec_extensionin-valuepart2+170(50) = rec_podata-value_0029.

rec_extensionin-valuepart2220(20) = rec_podata-value_00300(20).

rec_extensionin-valuepart3+30(50) = rec_podata-value_0031.

rec_extensionin-valuepart3+80(50) = rec_podata-value_0032.

APPEND rec_extensionin TO i_extensionin.

rec_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX'.

rec_extensionin-valuepart1+0(5) = v_item.

rec_extensionin-valuepart1+5(8) = 'XXXXXXXX'.

APPEND rec_extensionin TO i_extensionin.

Please try, I think u did wrong in

gs_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'.

<b> gs_extensionin-valuepart1 = ls_purchase-po_number. </b> gs_extensionin-valuepart1+28(4) = ls_purchase-zzplant.

APPEND gs_extensionin TO lit_extensionin.

I already tried this, but doesnt worked.

please it is very urgent.

In case you have not resolved this, I think the problem is the incorrect offset ( gs_extensionin-valuepart1+28(4) = ls_purchase-zzplant ) due to the field ZZTOTPOVAL. It's output length is 13 but is stored internally as a packed decimal field with length 7. Also unless you are generating your own po#, do not pass anything in this field.

Hope this helps.

You forgot to populate the extensioninX structure as well.

Data: is_extension LIKE bapi_te_mepoheader,

is_extensionx LIKE bapi_te_mepoheaderx.

• Fill the extension structure with additional fields

is_extension-zzfield1 = it_tab-field1.

is_extension-zzfield2 = it_tab-field2.

is_extension-zzfield3 = it_tab-field3.

pt_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'.

pt_extensionin-valuepart1 = is_extension.

APPEND pt_extensionin.

is_extensionx-zzfield1 = 'X'.

is_extensionx-zzofield2 = 'X'.

is_extensionx-zzfield3 = 'X'.

pt_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADERX'.

pt_extensionin-valuepart1 = is_extensionx.

APPEND pt_extensionin.

Sorry, I should read better...you did populate the X structure. If you extended the fields in CI_EKKODB then they should exist in 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER' and 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADERX'. You should be able to refer to them directly. Also, you will not know the PO number during create so do not try to populate.

Hi,

First of all you should append the Zfields in the

structure 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'.

Now pass the value of the Zfield in the structure 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'.

Say the Zfield that you appended in the structure is ZZPLANT.

So pass the Plant value to the structure as BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER-ZZPLANT = 'ABC'.

Now write gs_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER'.

gs_extensionin-valuepart1 = BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER.

APPEND gs_extensionin TO lit_extensionin

Do the same for lit_extensioninx table.

Try out this.

Rewards point if this resolves ur query

Hi

I remember an OSS note stating that if the EKKO has Zfields which are of type P/Dec it is not possible to update those values. But we can workaround by using the apposite user exits before assigning to CI_EKKODB structure.

Also try using field symbols for assignment instead of offsets

Something like this.

ASSIGN t_po_extension-valuepart1

TO <fs_bapi_value> CASTING TYPE bapi_te_mepoheader.

<fs_bapi_value> = bapi_te_mepoheader.

Please check for that OSS note you will find a better idea.

Cordially,

Shankar Narayanan.
