Help in Quotation creation using BAPI

[Former Member]

I want to create Quotation with reference to Inquiry. I am using std BAPI 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2' but I am not able to crate with reference to Inquiry. If you see the std tcode VA21 there is option to create with reference; there you can put the inquiry number. This functionality, I want to implement using BAPI.

Can anybody tell me how to achieve this.

Thanks in stack

Nilesh,

I think you can do that by specifying the REF DOC TYPE and REF DOC number parameters in fields REFDOCTYPE, REF_DOC of the parameter QUOTATION_HEADER_IN (BAPISDHD1).

Try and let me know.

Nilesh,

There is a problem if you use the BAPI 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2', the table flow will not be maintained (i.e) it will not maintain the document flow which you can view using

VA13(Inquiry)->Document flow(F5). It will allow you to create any number of quotations for the same inquiry. This will be the case even if you use the BAPI 'BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA'.

The alternative you can use is use a BDC program for just creating the Quotation(VA21). Then use the BAPI 'BAPI_CUSTOMERQUOTATION_CHANGE' to change the quotation. I have done this before and it is working perfectly fine. Hope this solves your issue.
