Extension of BAPI - BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have added some custome fields in the table VBAK. Now i want to update these fields using BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE which are not present in it currently. So how can i extend BAPI to update the custom fields ???

Hi,

first, go to SE37 and check the BAPI's default documentation for the EXTENSIONIN table parameter. There, it explains analytically what you have to do in order to update Z fields that have been appended in VBAK or VBAP through the standard BAPI.

NOTE that you MUST have updated accordingly the tables/structures VBAKKOZ, VBAKKOZX, BAPE_VBAK, BAPE_VBAKX

So, if the sales order number is 1000000001 and your added custom field is named ZZCUST with length 5 chars and you want to set the ZZCUST value to ABCDEm, then append a line in EXTENSIOIN as follows:

EXTENSIONIN-STRUCTURE = BAPE_VBAK

EXTENSIONIN-VALUEPART1 = 1000000001ABCDE

Also, call the BAPI passing the 1000000001 (sales order document number to the SALESDOCUMENT parameter and set the UPDATEFLAG field of the structure ORDER_HEADER_INX to 'X' to make the BAPI actually update the sales document header data (includind the new Z field).

Try it and READ the BAPI's standard documentation!

Reward if it helps,
