Sales document type is not defined

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm working on a HTTP-to-BAPI exercise with using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1. After execution, I got this error returned:Sales documente type is not defined. Please tell me what to do with it. Thank you!!!

The following XML is the source message that I submitted:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns0:MT_Order_Request xlns:ns0="urn:poc:workshop:group00:webapp">

<OrderHeader>

<DocumentType>CPF1</DocumentType>

<DistributionChannel>10</DistributionChannel>

<Division>00</Division>

<CustomerNumber>0000001460</CustomerNumber>

<PartnerFunction>AG</PartnerFunction>

</OrderHeader>

<Item>

<Material>DPC1017</Material>

<Quantity>1</Quantity>

</Item>

</ns0:MT_Order_Request>

Hi Steve ,

Try to execute this BAPI using Se37 with the same input and see if it works fine. If it does, then you can say this is an XI error and start debugging, if it does not, then it implies you need to find valid data for the BAPI's call and then pass the same from XI.

Hi Bhavesh,

Thanks for the se37 tip. The test was fine. Then I went back to IR and found out the mapping was wrong. By the way, does each RFC doc have equivalent doc to IDoc? Or will there be any situation that you can only use one of them? What's the best way to find out which doc to use? Thanks a lot.

Steve,

This blog by my boss should answer your questions regarding RFC vs IDOC's,

You already have

<DocumentType>CPF1</DocumentType>

Run t-code va01 to create a sales order manually.

Check whether there's a Document Type "CPF1" in your system. I don't think so:)

Since I'm not good at business, maybe you should ask other consultants who knows how to create a Document Type in R/3 System.

Or just try another Document Type that already exsit. Maybe it will works.

hope it helps:)

Hi ,

Check weather you have mapped with all the mandatory fileds of the target BAPI and also do the sample test manually in SE37 wether it is creating sales order or not.

Check this thread also.......

Steve,

Another point, when using your RFC, you need not create any message type or message interface explicitly. You can use the RFC itself as the Message Type and Message Interface.
