Equipmen dismantle, change plant, install does not work

Hello experts,

I have developed a function module which should execute the following steps:

- dismantle an equipment from a functional location

- change the plant of the equipment

- install the equipment into a new functional location

I therefor tried to use these three existing function modules:

- Dismantle -> EQUIPMENT_DISMANTLE

- Change Plant -> BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE

- Install -> EQUIPMENT_INSTALL

Now the problem occurs that the call of the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE does not execute a commit so the changes are not directly written to the database and the following call of EQUIPMENT_INSTALL is not able to install the equipment into the new functional location.

I tried to execute a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE but still it does not work. In my dev system I can insert a "WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS." call which work but this does not work in the testing env. Also this is a very bad approach.

The curious thing is that everytime I debug my FM everything is working fine. So I bet there is a problem in the direct following call after the BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE and EQIPMENT_INSTALL.

Here are the relevant calls:

How can I enable this inside one function module?

Please, any hints are welcome!
