Creation with Reference using BAPIs

[Former Member]

We're looking into creating an order with reference to a quotation or a return order with reference to an order or invoice.

According to OSS note 370988 you can only achieve this using a workaround. We're in the process of testing it, so we were wondering whether anybody else out there already has experience with it.

Specifically:

- are there any issues in the document flow (based on our testing so far no) ?

- are there issues with regards to pricing ?

- do the final documents look as if created using VA01 ?

Are there other approaches ? E.g. how does the SAP web shop do it ?

Thanks

Adrian

HI Adrian Zehnder,

1) If you want create order with reference to quotation like ex quotation document type is ymea then create quotation using standard bapi 2) By using bapi get the details of the quotation and pass that data to BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 fill the fields ref_doc, ref_doc_it, and ref_doc_ca 3) There i s no issue with pricing everything will copy.4) It will like created in va01.Post if you need more help in this.

Regards,

Madhu.
