Update WBS on save

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I would like to update a WBS userfield automatically when saving the project. Anyone an idea about a BADI or something else where & how I can do that?

At the end I want select the sales order assigned to the project,  select a specific material from the sales order and update the userfield with the material number.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Jan

Hello Jan,

BAdI WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE should help. It has methods AT_SAVE and BEFORE_UPDATE.

Hi Brendan,

thanks for your reply. We are using this BADI already....and at least according to my understanding it can only raise an error, but can't perform any update tasks....

Kind regards

Hi Jan Hinzpeter

I would suggest that when you are creating a sales order with respect to a WBS element then at the time of saving the sales order , in the background you can call BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to update the user fields of that particular WBS with the Sales order and material assigned to that sales order.

Hi Jan,

I believe you can use the BADi WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE to cater this requirement. I believe the method AT_SAVE should be helpful in achieving this. The logic I believe that can be written in your case is to validate if the sales order has been assigned to that particular WBS element or project and then update the user field accordingly (if yes). If No then ensure that whatever material number which is entered in the user field (if the user enters anything by mistake) is removed in case the sales order is not assigned to the particular project/WBS element.

Please let me know if this is helpful.
