Alternative for WAIT-Statement

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I have a problem I'm using a BAPI for reversing an production confirmation. This BAPI creates to a goods movement (MSEG). I make directly after the call of the BAPI a Commit Work (with the BAPI-FM).

So now I have to select the table AFWI which contains the value of the created material document (MSEG-MBLNR). But I do not get the correct number. It seems that I select a temporary-number and after a few seconds then the correct number is saved in the database table. I think the creation of the number is done by the SAP in a V2-execution (asyncron).

But now my question: Which options do I have to get the correct number? For testing I have implemented a WAIT-statement with 2 seconds, but I can not gurantee that this time will always be enough. What if there are may update records to be handled in this time?

What can I do to really always get the correct document number?

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards

Max

Hi,

Looks Strange......Are you using the FM BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after your BAPI? If that is the case then you will always get the Correct Document Number......Getting a temporary number looks different to me...

Hi,

yes I use this function module. Here a fragment of my coding:

* BAPI to reverse/cancel the production confirmation
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PROCORDCONF_CANCEL'
    EXPORTING
      confirmation        = iv_conf
      confirmationcounter = iv_counter
    IMPORTING
      return              = ls_return
      locked              = lv_locked
      created_conf_no     = ev_conf
      created_conf_count  = ev_counter.

* Error in Processing
  IF ls_return-type = 'E' OR
     ls_return-type = 'A'.

    MESSAGE ID ls_return-id TYPE ls_return-type NUMBER ls_return-number
            WITH ls_return-message_v1 ls_return-message_v2
                 ls_return-message_v3 ls_return-message_v4
            INTO me->log_dummy.
    me->log_add_message( me->log_normal ).
    EXIT.

* Locked state
  ELSEIF lv_locked = 'X'.

    MESSAGE e017(zh) WITH iv_conf iv_counter
      INTO me->log_dummy.
    me->log_add_message( me->log_normal ).
    EXIT.

* Sucessfull processing
  ELSE.

    MESSAGE s018(zh) WITH iv_conf iv_counter
      INTO me->log_dummy.
    me->log_add_message( me->log_normal ).

  ENDIF.

* Making COMMIT WORK
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
    EXPORTING
      wait = 'X'.

* Addition wait is necessary so that the right material document can be
* selected
  WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.

* Selection of material document created by BAPI
  SELECT * FROM afwi
    INTO TABLE lt_afwi
    WHERE rueck = ev_conf
      AND rmzhl = ev_counter.

I can see the incorrect doc number because I write the result of the selection in a own Z-Table, and there I can see the number selected by the statement:

0000001763

0000001752

--> created incorrect numbers (and also the document year is initial in this case)

a correct doc number would be for example: 4900250619 (with doc year 2008)

I inserted a check on the created document to proof it manually

Hi Max

Can you please explain more in detail how you solved this problem.

Thanks.
