Automate

Hello,

I am attempting to use BAPI_PROFITCENTERGRP_CREATE in Winshuttle Direct to change group descriptions in transaction KCH2 (Studio recording would not map the GRPOBJECTS-DESCRIPT field in the structure). I am receiving errors regarding the hierarchy and am not familiar with these parameters:

Does anyone have any information to provide on how to record this field type (GRPOBJECTS-DESCRIPT) or how to set it up in Winshuttle Direct using the above BAPI? I have not found much information from researching online or in WS support on this transaction. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Knavis

Hi Knavis

Good you're trying a bapi, but you're using a CREATE bapi, which won't do an update - it only adds profit center groups.  I didn't see an update BAPI.

So, another approach is to use Transaction, but with Accessibility mode ON



Create a script that turns it on, and one that turns it off.

Then in the middle, you can automate it this way - pass in the profit center group id, and you'll now see this

super easy to update the description on top
click save

After all of the updates are made, run the script that sets accessibility mode OFF.

You can chain the scripts to make it simple.

Hope that helps,
Sigrid

Hi Sigrid,

This is a great solution for transactions with SAP sets, thank you for the input! I was able to successfully create the KCH2 Script to change the description using your method above.

Thanks again!
