extracting spool no in ME21N

[former_member216668]

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement of saving a PO as a pdf locally while it is created and being saved, i used the BADI ME_PURCHDOC_POSTED and method POSTED to achieve this.

But when i open the PDF , i find that it saves the PO which was created earlier. Like for example PO421 is saved while 422 is created, This is due to the spool number in TSP01 is not updated till this save action is over. so it is picking up the last spool no and converting it into PDF.

I need to eliminate this and i need to know if i can find a spool no before it is updated in TSP01 or is their any other BADI which runs right immediately after the save option so that i can take the latest spool no.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated and rewarded.

Regards,

K

Hi Ken,

Please check BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST & method CLOSE.

Hi Ken,

How are you creating the spool?

I'm assuming it is created via a smartform/sapscript program associated with an output type?

If that is the case you could perform your PDF processing within the program associated with the output type. The spool id is returned to you when you call a smartform in the job_output_info parameter.

Is that of any help or are you creating the spool via another means?

Hi Daren.

Where do I find this program?

Is the "form entry" program?

I get the spool in the TS01?

tks
