Using BAPI to create a Credit/Debit Memo

[Former Member]

I would like to use a BAPI to create a credit/debit memo but the BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 BAPI is hard coded for BUS2032. I need to create a credit/debit memo which is BUS2096. Has anyone ever copied the bapi to a zbapi* and used a different Business Object? Or do you all have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

If you can't find a BAPI which provides there are several options:

-Use CALL TRANSACTION (if youre programming in ABAP)

-Create your own BAPI that calls a CALL TRANSACTION

-Post an IDOC to create the debit or credit memo

Either way you loose the possibility to do a roll back of the LUW. If roll back of the LUW is a problem you might consider executing the creation of the debet/credit document last (if possible).

I don't recommend copying a BAPI due to version upgrates, notes and hotpackages.

Mike, I rewrote one of our custom programs using BAPI's to create debet/credit memo's successfully. You have to use 2 BAPI's actually:

BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA

FOR CREATING BASIC ORDER WITHOUT HEADER TEXT

AND PRICING CONDITIONS

BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE

FOR ADDING THE HEADER TEXT AND PRICING

CONDITIONS.

You also get related info from OSS note 93091.

Best regards,

Harold
