Updating a custom field in LIKP table through BAPI for outbound delivery

[Former Member]

Hi All ,

I have got stuck in the following scenario . We have added a custom field "zdeldate" thru append structure in LIKP table . This would store the actual delivery date for the outbound delivery and this field value would be updated through a custom report built by me . On this report output , user would enter values for this date field for some delivery numbers . We need to update this date in the LIKP table custom "zdeldate" field through a BAPI . This field would be used only for reporting purpose by BW and it would nt be physically present on the delivery screen transaction ( VL01) .

Can someone please guide on which BAPI could be used to update this custom field in the delivery header table ( LIKP ) . I was looking at 2 BAPI's :

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_SAVEREPLICA and

BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE

but not sure whether these can solve my problem and how do we use these to update the custom field in LIKP . Any help on this would be appreciated .

Hi,

You can populate the table EXTENSION1 and EXTENSION2 to update the custom fields through BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE.

Hi Raju

Thanks for ur inputs . I had also traced these extensions . But cud not understand as to how would the BAPI know that it needs to update which custom field in the LIKP table even if I add this field in this extension .

Hi Ankit,

Raju gave you a correct answer. Those EXTENSION-TABLE-parameters are intended for customer fields only (implemented by APPEND).

Have success,
