ABAP-OO Workflow for PO-release

[Florin Wach]

For purchase order (formerly BUS2012) I'm using the ABAP class

CL_PO_HEADER_HANDLE_MM

as supertype. The constructor of the subclass should correctly initialize the super class with the following piece of coding:

   super->constructor( i_purchaseOrderNumber ).
   me->po_initialize( ).
   me->set_po_number( i_purchaseOrderNumber ).

   me->po_read( im_tcode     = 'ME23N'
                im_trtyp     = 'A'
                im_aktyp     = 'A'
                im_po_number = space ).

Then there're already a bunch of methods/attribs available.

Best wishes,
Florin
