Duh... a little extra piece of information: Object type Syste m - method GenericInstantiate .... it drives me crazy, yeah-yeah

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Kjetil,
Create your own task.
If its the existing one it probably not only has an initial value
defined, but also a predefined container element referencing USR01DOHR
which it uses in its task-method binding since the existing one is designed to
bring back a USR01DOHR object.
 
If you create your own task with your own container element referencing BKPF
it will be fine.

The task I use is an existing one. It has an initial value definition of
objecttype which (of course) corresponds very well with the "unwanted"
object type returned. But since the object type is an importing parameter
this shouldn't matter - or should it?
 
I would have written this in the previous message had I remembered
yesterday or today to check the initial value settings.

I get the weirdest errors....
The neverending story about invoices blocked for payment is moving forward.
Now I am struggling with a solution to handle the reversal of invoices for
which payment release is rejected. The reporting system reference object
(ZCABDOC) comes in as a parameter. There are two virtual attributes for
this object type for SAPObjectType and SAPObjectKey respectively.
 
Creating a reference to the real object should thus simply be a matter of
using a task which calls system=>GenericInstantiate (there, I finally got
to use something from the ABAP Objects course :-)
For unknown reasons the object returned to the task is of a different type
than the object type I request, and a different result from what I get when
I test the method.
 
Object type ZCABDOC - instance for an FI invoice
SAPObjectType = BKPF
SAPObjectKey = 100019000006372002
 
Object type SYSTEM method GenericInstantiate
parameter objectkey -> 100019000006372002
parameter objecttype -> BKPF
result <- BKPF                           100019000006372002
 
 
Now the relevant workflow log excerpt (sorry, but the readability here will
probably be limited even if I have tried to use indenting - view with fixed
width font and no wrapping)
