Hello Friends,
I am trying to call a bapi 'BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK'.
When I try to execute the program, it gives me following parameter missing exception,
CALL_FUNCTION_PRAM_MISSING
though I am sending the appropriate parameters, but still I am getting this exception. Here is the ABAP code,
DATA : Company_ID LIKE BAPI1007-COMP_CODE.
DATA : MY_RETURN TYPE BAPIRETURN.
DATA : debtor_ID like BAPI1007-CUSTOMER.
MOVE '0001' TO Company_ID.
MOVE '1' TO debtor_ID.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK'
EXPORTING
RETURN = MY_RETURN
IMPORTING
Company_ID = Company_ID
DEBTORID = debtor_ID
.
Thanks in advance,
Haider Syed.
Hi Syed,
If the coding sample that you wrote is what you have in your program, then I can say that you call BAPI incorrectly. Try this one:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK'
EXPORTING
debtorid = debitor_id
COMPANYCODE = company_id
IMPORTING
RETURN = my_return.
Just for information. This EXPRORT and IMPORT parameters are a bit misleading. For example the DEBITORID is an
IMPORT parameter for your function modules. But when you call this function module from your program you should write
EXPORTING for this IMPORT parameters.
Also I can recommend you one feature. When you write ABAP coding and want to call a Function Module you can use
button "Pattern" on SAP toolbar. Just press this button then choose first radio button CALL FUNCTION, enter the name of FM you want to call and press Enter.
The correct function module call appears on the place where the cursor is set in your coding. For example in your case:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK'
EXPORTING
debtorid =
COMPANYCODE =
IMPORTING
RETURN =
.
All you need to do - just uncomment optional parameters if you need them and supply your variables after '=' sigh for corresponded parameters.
Good luck,
Mikhail

Hello Mikhail,
Thanks for your kind help, it works now, so nice of you.
But now I am facing another problem, when i execute the program it shows me "customer 1 does not exists", though it exists with in the system. if I go directly in FI and then, AccountRecieable, and then master record, click on display, enter the customer "1" and company code "0001", I get the requried customer data.
Any suggestions, what can be possibly wronge.
Many thanks indeed
Haider Syed.
Hi again,
As I see from looking through the coding of
BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK. Inside this FM there's a SELECT statement from DB table KNA1 in order to check the
existence of the debitor, which you supply as import parameter.
The problem is that you supply the parameter with value '1', but in DB there is an entrie - '0000000001'.
So try the value with leading zeros, like you do with company code.
Regards,
Mikhial
I just have seen that there is a DB SELECT statement in
BAPI_DEBTOR_EXISTENCECHECK :
------ Selektion -----------------------------------
SELECT SINGLE * FROM KNA1
WHERE KUNNR = DEBTORID.
The DEBITORID is the import parameter you supply to the FM.
To see the content of the DB tables you can use transaction SE16. I just display the content of the DB table KNA1 and have seen that leading zeros are used in KUNNR field.
