Use BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to Update components in PM Orders

[claudio_carrara]

Hi
I need to reset backflush indicator on PM Order components. This is required because in Production I need to use automatic Backflash but in Maintenance I need to reset the flag for the same materials. I can't set Backflash indicator depending by Workcenter, because have thousand materials. I Thought to call BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN FM during PM Order Save Exit.
Do you think is possible ? Any other suggestion to set this feature.?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Paul
Thanks for your reply. I need to update the backflush flag when the user Create the component orwhen he Save the Order using IW32 or similar. Do you think this is possible using the BAPI ? I thought to call the FM During PM Order saving user-exit but I can understand that it's not advised.
Thank for help, Claudio

Hi,

You can use BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to adjust the backflash indicator on PM order components. So, if it is possible to set/unset the backflush indicator from IW32 it would be possible via the BAPI.

You mention calling the BAPI 'during PM Order Save Exit'. I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you intent to call the BAPI while already updating the the order from IW32 then that is not advised.
