Return Order - BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We have issue in creating a return order referencing an invoice using BAPI. The BAPI creates the return order but the prices/items(Copy control) is not copied from the reference document(Billing doc) . Could you please advise.

Thank You.

Hi Gerard,

Thank you for your response. It helped a lot!!!!!!!!

I am trying to create credit memo referencing an invoice using SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE. the problem I have is that the pricing procedure of the invoice is not copied to the credit memo request . SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE does not have any fields for pricing procedure and I cannot pass the reference dcoument pricing procedure. Please help...

Maintain the copy control settings from billing to return order in t.code VTAF. You can refer the standard return order RE from F2 document type settings. Then create a new document and check.

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

The copy controls are mainatianed and it works if I create a return order using "VA01" transaction. But if I try to create a return order from Ecommerce using a BAPI , the copy control does not work..

Unfortunately I have to tell you that in the standard the copy rules

that are defined are not considered in the BAPI case:

Please check the follwoing 2 notes:

Note 414058 - CHECKLISTSD: differences in online and BAPI

Reason and Prerequisites

Missing functions:

....

4. Create with reference, no copying control

Note 550726 - FAQ: BAPIs in sales - restrictions

7. Question: Do BAPIs support the 'Creation with reference' function?

Answer:No. However, you can update the document flow, for example,

for contracts by specifying reference documents.You can use function

module BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY that has not been released to create

a 1:1 copy of sales documents.

In your case, I recommend you use the function module mentioned above

(BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY).

In addition, if you use the BAPI above, please consider using the

Pricing Type 'G', which will reference the conditions without changing

them, only redetermining the tax condition values.

I hope this helps.
