Goods confirmation in EBP

Wed Feb 12 06:59:38 EST 2003

Hendri,
I cannot stress enough for EBP - DO NOT USE THE TABLES directly!!!
Always use the function modules.  Any developments using the tables
directly cannot be guaranteed on upgrade (that can include adding a new
patch not just going to a new release!).  So please use the correct
function modules.

Function modules starting with BBP_PD* are the safest bet as these
are essentially EBP's BAPIs.  But BBP_SC_MAP_PD_TO_REQ is fine too.

Hi Jocelyn,

Thank you very much for your help. I have found the tables and function
modules to get the shopping cart requestor and goods recipient.

If anybody wants to know what they are, bellow is the list:

The tables are :
BBP_PDBEI
BBP_PDVIEW_IAP
CRMD_ORDERADM_H

And the functions are :
BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL
BBP_SC_MAP_PD_TO_REQ

Regards

Hendri

Hi Hendri,
RE finding the shopping cart from the PO - look at how program
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 does it.

Re the WAPI - make sure you are going back to SAP to process the document
prior
to returning to the inbox - it may be you are not executing that code via
the web.
Try reporting any errors returned by the WAPI to the application logs.

Hi Jocelyn,

Thank you for your explnation. But I am still having problem in getting the
goods receipient.
I couldn't find function module in EBP to get the shopping cart number from
a PO number. Please let me know if you know the function.

One more thing SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_COMPLETED is working in SAPGUI but not
in the Web Inbox.

Thanks in advance

Hendri

Hi Hendri,

Re query 1: Don't use tables in EBP - use the provided function modules.
The tables you are looking at belong to previous versions and are no longer
relevant. The new table relationships are extremely complex and hence
function modules
must be used. E.g. BBP_PD_CONF_GETDETAIL.  Look at all the BBP_PD_CONF*
function modules
for confirmations.

Re query 2: EBP 3.5 has workflows included for approvals of confirmations -
you should
use them as your guide.  The approach you have used should work however as
BBPCF02 is not expecting to be called by workflow you may need to use WAPIs
(e.g. SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_COMPLETED or similar) to complete the work item
- e.g. you might be able to call this in the business add-in for saving
procurement documents.  Business object for confirmations is BUS2203.

Let me know how you go.

Refering to the query no 2, I have found the web transaction BBPCF02 for
doing the goods confirmation and create a task using FORM HTMLPROCESS method
to bring the work item to the transaction. The problem now is even though I
have executed this work item, it never dissapear from the inbox. As we know
FORM HTMLPROCESS is a dialog synchronous method and by right, executing it
should complete the work item. But when I see the log, the status is still
in progress.

After taking a look on the coding of the method, I suspected that the
EXIT_CANCELLED statement could be the reason. So, I copied the business
object then remove the EXIT_CANCELLED statement, change the task to refer to
this new business object but the problem still persist.

Can anyone please help me on this?
I am still trying to get the answer of query no 1.

Regards

Hendri

Hi workflow gurus.

I have a requirement to inform requestor and goods receipient of a shopping
cart to do the goods confirmation in EBP 3.5.

I have several queries about that.

1. Where can I get the goods receipient of a shopping cart? I found one
table REQACCT with GR_RCPT field on it but the problem is there is no data
on the table. Business object BUS2121 can determine the shopping cart
requestor but again it doesn't pick up the value from this table.

2. How to bring the work item to execute the goods confirmation screen? Is
there any hyperlink that I can use to do that or any business object for
doing that?

Can anyone please give some clues?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hendri
