Function module for Sales order?

[Former Member]

I am looking for the function module for sales order creation. From my research I found out that it is BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1. Is this the right one? Can anybody confirm?

Hi Avi,

To create a sales order through Function module: you need to use the following:

IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS

to be processed through an ORDERS type of IDOC

Hi Avi,

you can also find all FM for sales order creation in the BAPI explorer (transaction BAPI).

You can see there that "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1"is absolete from 46C on, so if you are on a newer release you should use "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2". The functionality is also quite well documented there.

Yes. You can also try -

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1 Sales order: Create Sales Order

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 Sales order: Create Sales Order

BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDATA Create Sales Order, No More Maintenance

Hi,

I put a breakpoint on all the 3 FMs and created a sales order. None of them was called. I wonder if there is some other FM.. Any idea?

You could check if breakpoint in module pool SAPMV45A would be of any help to you.

Hi,

I am using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1 for sales order creation and its working fine. I wanted to know if we can use this same FM for returns order? In the regular process I use the invoice document as a reference to create the returns order. How do I use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1 for the same? In which field do I specify the invoice number?

Any suggestions will be rewarded.

Thanks.
