Why is creation of a service notification using BAPI not working?

[Former Member]

I need to create a service notification.

I have found 2 BAPIs.

BAPI_SERVICENOTIFICAT_CREATE

BAPI_SERVNOT_CREATE

The code below using the second BAPI is not creating a notification and the return parm does not have any errors.

You can see it does a call to commit after the BAPI call

Perhaps I am missing something critical in the parms.

We are trying to creat a service type notification using equipment.

DATA ls_notif_h TYPE bapi2080_nothdri.

data ls_notif_e type BAPI2080_NOTHDRE.

DATA lt_return TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF bapiret2.

DATA ls_return LIKE LINE OF lt_return.

ls_notif_h-equipment = '10000044'.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SERVNOT_CREATE'

EXPORTING

• EXTERNAL_NUMBER =

notif_type = 'S3'

notifheader = ls_notif_h

• TASK_DETERMINATION = ' '

• SENDER =

• ORDERID =

IMPORTING

NOTIFHEADER_EXPORT = ls_notif_e

TABLES

• NOTITEM =

• NOTIFCAUS =

• NOTIFACTV =

• NOTIFTASK =

• NOTIFPARTNR =

• LONGTEXTS =

• KEY_RELATIONSHIPS =

return = lt_return

.

IF lt_return IS INITIAL.

COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

write: / ls_notif_e-NOTIF_NO.

ELSE.

LOOP AT lt_return INTO ls_return.

WRITE:/ 'errors'.

• ls_return.

ENDLOOP.

Thanks.

Try this way

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SERVNOT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
* EXTERNAL_NUMBER =
notif_type = 'S3'
notifheader = ls_notif_h
* TASK_DETERMINATION = ' '
* SENDER =
* ORDERID =
IMPORTING
NOTIFHEADER_EXPORT = ls_notif_e
TABLES
* NOTITEM =
* NOTIFCAUS =
* NOTIFACTV =
* NOTIFTASK =
* NOTIFPARTNR =
* LONGTEXTS =
* KEY_RELATIONSHIPS =
return = lt_return
.

* IF lt_return IS INITIAL.                                               " <<< Comment this lie
read table  lt_return into ls_return with key type = 'E'. " << Change
if sy-subrc ne 0.                                                             " << Change 
COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
write: / ls_notif_e-NOTIF_NO.
ELSE.
LOOP AT lt_return INTO ls_return.

WRITE:/ 'errors'.
* ls_return.
ENDLOOP.
endif.

Nope - no change but i did get it to work.

I used the BAPI called BAPI_SERVICENOTIFICAT_CREATE and it works.

But thanks for your suggestion.

Found bapi BAPI_SERVICENOTIFICAT_CREATE and it works.

Will follow up with correct answer.

I was calling the correct FM but you must follow it up with calls to 2 more FM to get the data into SAP.

After calling BAPI_SERVNOT_CREATE you MUST call BAPI_SERVNOT_SAVE and then BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to get it to work.

Thank you Scott for writing the solution, because, generally, many people do not write the resolution, How they achieved it.....its so useful, while doing Google.
