BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to load documents to Portpolio item folder in PLM. How can I use BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 to load the documents? Have somebody done this using the BAPI? Could you tell me what I need to post to the OBJECTLINKS table, specifically, the OBJECTKEY? How is the document linked to the folder in the portfolio item?

Thanks,

Sonny

Hi Sonny,

The function module 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2' is well documented with example. Please refer, if you have not done it yet.

• Object link to material master

CLEAR lt_drad.

REFRESH lt_drad.

lt_drad-objecttype = 'MARA'.

lt_drad-objectkey = 'M4711'.

APPEND lt_drad.

• ---------------------------------------------------------------------

• Create document

• ---------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'

EXPORTING: documentdata = ls_doc

IMPORTING: documenttype = lf_doctype

documentnumber = lf_docnumber

documentpart = lf_docpart

documentversion = lf_docversion

return = ls_return

TABLES: documentdescriptions = lt_drat

objectlinks = lt_drad

documentfiles = lt_files.

Looking at the code, object link, I believe is linking the document to a material (objectkey is mara-matnr, I think). I have not actually worked on creating documents in PLM.

Hi Shyam,

Thank you for your quick response.

I think it is different in PLM. Part of my abap code is below:

CLEAR LW_DOCDATA.

LW_DOCDATA-DOCUMENTTYPE = 'PED'.

......

CLEAR LW_OBJLINK.

LW_OBJLINK-OBJECTTYPE = 'DRAW'.

LW_OBJLINK-OBJECTKEY = 'OS100916'. "<=== what's the document number to use?

"How do I link it to the portfolio item?

LW_OBJLINK-DOCUMENTDIRECTION = 'X'.

APPEND LW_OBJLINK TO LT_OBJLINK.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENTDATA = LW_DOCDATA

IMPORTING

DOCUMENTNUMBER = lv_docnum

RETURN = LW_RETURN

TABLES

DOCUMENTDESCRIPTIONS = LT_DSP

OBJECTLINKS = LT_OBJLINK

DOCUMENTFILES = LT_DOCFILE.

I need to link the document to the folder of the portfolio item in PLM.

Thanks,

Hi Sonny,

Try passing a combination of all the key fields, viz. document document number,document type

document part, version and check if it works.
