FM to update/modify PLPO table entries

[Former Member]

Hi Freinds,

To update PLPO (operations) i need use:

CP_BT_PLPO_UPDATE

CP_BT_PLPO_APPEND

Questions:

1) Can i use CP_BT_PLPO_UPDATE for update only, or for delete too?

2) When i use this FM, another tables updates too? For example, table PLAS?

Hello Andrey

The function modules you have mentioned are not the right ones. In order to maintain operations (of maintenance/service orders) you should use the (somewhat complex) BAPI <b>BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN</b>. The TABLES parameter

IT_OPERATION (Input Structure for PM/CS BAPIs Operations)
IT_OPERATION_UP (Update Structure for PM/CS BAPI Operations)

are mostly likely the parameters you are looking for.

Hello Andrey

I cannot tell for sure but most likely you have to use the "update" parameter for deleting tasks. Following is the documentation of the IT_METHODS parameter:

 FU BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN       IT_METHODS
