Problem with entering Equipment Characteristics values using BAPI/FM

[Former Member]

Dear All,

In my project there is a need to Enter the values against Equipment Characteristics using BAPI, but I am finding it a bit difficult as BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE is updating the value of Targeted Characteristic but deletes the value of other Characteristics. Let me present the complete case: Lets say EQ1 is attached with Class1 with 5 Characteristic Char1, 2, 3, 4 & Char5. Char1, 2 & 3 are auto populated by default values. Now I need to update the values against Char4 & 5 using BAPI/FM. I tried it with BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE but what it did was updated values of Char4 & 5 but deleted the values of Char1, 2 & 3. Is there any BAPI/FM to updated the value of Equipment Characteristics selectively.

Hello Shashi sekhar,

What you have experienced is normal behaviour of the FM. To compensate the loss, you need to use other FM (BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL or BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES) to get the existing values into tables. Update these table with modifications and then pass to present FM i.e., BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE.

To have more idea what I'm saying go through this thread.

Hi Jogeswara Sir,

Yes you were right, this is the normal behaviour of that FM. But anyways I found solution as you suggested by fetching all the values of Equipment Classification/Characteristics using FM "CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS" and updating all the Characteristics' values by using "BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE".

Thank You Very Much
