Is there an idoc to create a quotation?

[thomasalexander_ritter]

Hi,

we are trying to find a way how we can create a quotation with configurable materials (like using transaction va21) by using an idoc. We already took a look at the business object bus2031 and also searched for idocs using the transaction wedi. Our backup solution would be to do it by using the bapi BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2 but that would require a lot more work.

Hello Thomas,

Look at the following link. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/aa/1210377eff2e7ae10000009b38f889/frameset.htm

Looks like you will have to use the standard IDoc Type ORDERSnn for a quotation as well.

Hi,

thanks for the link. It's a little bit strange at help.sap.com there is absolutely nothing about quotations. Only inquiries are mentioned directly on the site. But when you take a look at the idoc orders05 segment e1edk14 field qualf the documentation says "value '018' Quotation type" so it seems that it should be possible to use this idoc to create quotations as well as salesorders. My problem is that I can't find a corresponding function module. You normally would use idoc_input_orders but it ignores the flag 018 completely! Does anybody know a different function module?

btw the function module idoc_output_quotes doesn't help me because I want to place quotations <b>into</b> our system. I do not want to generate idocs from already existing quotations.

Hi Thomas,

BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA should work for you. Can you tell us why this didn't work for you?

Here is an extract from its documentation.

Furthermore, you must enter the business object for which the sales document is to be created:

- BUS2030 for inquiries

- BUS2031 for quotations

- BUS2032 for sales orders

Please refer to SAP note 576059

The standard SAP Software doesn't contain this functionnality.

Hi,

There is a function module existing IDOC_OUTPUT_QUOTES. You need to configure VK01 / NACE transactions and then in VA22 go to the message control and enter the related info and save the quotation. This will generate the idoc if you have set the idoc creation to immediately. Else if you have scheduled via a job you need to execute RSNAST00 to generate the idoc.
