Locking and Unlocking an Object

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement of chaging the characteristics of the Equipment but when i use the BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE by passing the Equipment number and the required values i get a return message saying that the equipment is locked by User WF-BACTH but when i open the same equipment using the IE02 i do not see any locks........

i want to know the funstion modules which can be used to put a lock and unlock an Equipment...........

Regards,

hi Ravi,

Use ENQUE & DEQUE function modules for locking and unlocking the objects.

search for them in SE11.

Enqueue and Dequeue using BAPI can be used to lock an object.

For example :

If we need to lock and employee number to be edited only by the person who set the lock, we can use a BAPI.

Do read the documentation of 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'. It will give you a better idea of how to implement Enqueue for a BAPI.
