What's the difference between web service ChangeXXX and UpdateXXX?

[Former Member]

Dears,

I found there are ChangeProductionOrder and UpdateProductionOrder in SAPME default web service ProductionOrderProcessing, their content are almost the same, what's the difference of each functionality? When to use each one?

Thanks!

Ivan

Alex's statement is true. To further clarify:

1. updateX will update X if it exists, and create it if X does not exist

2. changeX will update X if it exists, and fail if X does not exist

3. createX will create X if it does not exist, and fail if X does exist

Obviously, updateX is the most flexible.

Hello Ivan,

As far as I rememer the difference is that UpdateProductionOrder would create an Order if it doesn't exist. And ChangeProductionOrder only updates.
