BAPI Extension For Sales Order Creation PDF

This document describes how to process customer-specific fields using SD BAPIs that have an EXTENSIONIN parameter. It provides a step-by-step example of how to adjust structures to include custom fields that were added to tables VBAK, VBAP, and VBEP. The key steps are to define checkbox structures for the custom fields, include these structures in the BAPI structures, and fill both standard and custom fields when using the EXTENSIONIN parameter.

Solution
Technical information on the customer enhancement concept
The customer enhancement concept for BAPIs allows the processing of customer-specific fields by
means of BAPI. In addition, SAP fields that were not taken into account by the developer during the
BAPI implementation and thus do not belong to the standard functions of the BAPI can be processed
customer-specifically.
!!! If you use the extension parameters according to the BAPI programming guide or the documentation
for the customer enhancement concept, only character-type field types are permitted !!!
If nevertheless you require a processing of non character-type types, refer to Notes 700795 and
509898.
The following description explains by means of an example how to proceed for customer enhancements
to SD tables VBAK, VBKD, VBAP and VBEP.
Initial situation: The customer has attached own fields to table VBAP,
by means of INCLUDE structure CUTEST.
This structure includes two fields: CFIELD1, CHAR 10
and CFIELD2, CHAR 3.
These 2 fields should now also be maintainable via the BAPI.
1. Structure CUTEST is defined in table VBAP.
2. Since the BAPIs use checkbox structures, you also have to define a corresponding checkbox
structure CUTESTX with the following setup for the customer structure:
Field nameData element/component type
CFIELD2CHAR1
CFIELD2 CHAR1
3. Then you must use an Include or APPEND to define these customer structures in structures
VBAPKOZ and VBAPKOZX.
4. Afterwards you must use the APPEND technique to append the customer structures to BAPI
structures BAPE_VBAP and BAPE_VBAPX.
5. Adjust the following structures for customer enhancements in table VBAK:
a) VBAKKOZ
b) VBAKKOZX
c) BAPE_VBAK
d) BAPE_VBAKX
6. For customer enhancements on table VBKD that may have header VBKD fields and item VBKD
fields, adjust the following structures:

a) VBAKKOZ and VBAKKOZ


b) VBAPKOZ and VBAPKOZX, if the commercial customer fields have to be supplied also on item
level
c) BAPE_VBAK and BAPE_VBAKX
d) BAPE_VBAP and BAPE_VBAPX, if the commercial customer fields are supposed to be filled in
also on item level.
7. Adjust the following structures for customer enhancements in table VBEP:
a) VBEPKOZ
b) VBEPKOZX
c) BAPE_VBEP
d) BAPE_VBEPX
8. In general, the data in the BAPI interface is stored in the internal communication structures
(VBAKKOM and others). From there, this data is processed in SD tables (VBAK and others).
9. If you fill parameter EXTENSIONIN with customer data, you must fill the corresponding
standard parameters at least with the key fields.
Example:In order 4711 customer field VBAP-CFIELD2
of item 20 should be changed to 'XYZ'.
The following entries are required:
Import:BAPIVBELN-VBELN = '0000004711'document number
BAPISDHD1X-UPDATEFLAG = 'U' UPDKZ for document header
Tables: BAPISDITM-ITM_NUMBER= '000020'item number
BAPISDITMX-ITM_NUMBER = '000020'item number
+ BAPISDITMX-UPDATEFLAG = 'U'UPDKZ for item
The EXTENSION table must be filled as follows:
STRUCTUREVALUEPART11234567890123
BAPE_VBAP0000004711000020XYZ
BAPE_VBAPX0000004711000020 X
Additional information
For additional information refer to the implementation guide for BAPI programming, chapter 'Customer
enhancement concepts for BAPIs'.
