hi This is how I do it: Use BAPI_CREATE_FROM_DATA, set to Category "Person" and Grouping "ZCOP" (not sure what in standard the grouping code is for it if it exist). We only enter First Name and Last Name. With this i have a BP Number. Next, with a BP recording, I open the BP (Customer) go to the ...

RE: Padding issue in Studio Query

hello Jayasri, These settings i already have. As I wrote, the problem starts when I recreate it on S4. I guess the field definition is different and therefore it doesn't work. From KONDH-CUOBJ_CH i get a number like "1133892". If i put this number 1:1 (via for example SE16N) in AUSP-OBJEK it is ...

RFM for BP Create / Change

Posted By Ed Meiners 09-16-2022 02:28
Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
hello While ago now that I saw that a highly respected member of Winshuttle wrote that they are looking for creating RFM's around the terrible tcode BP. Recordings are difficult, performance is poor and in general the SAP BAPI's can only do so much. Furthermore you now and then run into the fact ...

Padding issue in Studio Query

Posted By Ed Meiners 09-16-2022 02:04
Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
In order to get Batch Search Strategy data out of SAP (S4) I had a query in ECC in which amongst others a join is made between table KONDH field CUOBJ_CH and table AUSP field OBJEK. In ECC field OBJEK was Type/Length String50 and this join worked. Now in S4 this field OBJEK is String90 and isn't working ...

RE: MM01 Material extension (sales org), how to populate tax class

Posted By Ed Meiners 08-09-2022 02:18
Found In Egroup: Automate \ view thread
I have been using a transaction script. Try this; In SAP, go into SalesView in MM01 or MM02 and type =PB07 in the command bar and see what happens (in short, it will provide a list entry instead of only like 4 rows). If you do this i think you will get the point. (however, with Direct is also an ...

**EDIT** My mistake was in Padding setting! On the first entry the field IT_CUST_GENERAL_-KUNNR can be empty. For the secondary SalesOrg you must enter it apparently and pre-pad with zeroes. Now it seems to work :D --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

What a beautiful word, "obtuse", yes that is exactly what it is. Once tried it but failed and gave up after 2days of trying... :( I do use some BAPI's already, like; -BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA -BAPI_BUPA_BANKDETAIL_ADD -BAPI_BUPA_TAX_ADD but they don't cover the fundamental needs in total. ...

RFM Business Partner Master Data

Working with Business Partners in S4 and Winshuttle mass loads (or changes) is in my opinion extremely slow. Extending a BP with a role and enter a few fields (so yes, even the simple ones) takes approx. 8-10seconds per record. I already have heard from other companies they experience the same. ...

Hi Sigrid, The purpose is to stay away from BP as far as possible ;) No but, yes, i can record as well but also the WS template doesn't fix all messages/popup's/memorized positions etc. We need more and better RFM's/BAPI's. Thanks anyway, i hope someone else has good ideas... ------------ ...

Hi all, I am constantly struggling with transaction BP in S4 and therefore always searching for better solutions. I was pleased to find the RFM /WINSHTLQ/SD_CUST_MAINTAIN_ALL but once using it I was disappointed. I wanted to mass change 1 field in KNVV (used input structure I_KNVV) but next to ...

hi, I have made scripts for Vendor (BP) and starting with Customer now. Parts are the same for both. My experience, it is a drag... I have a mix of BAPI's (BAPI_BUPA...) and recordings (no GUI scripting). One tip I can give (in case you not already know): there are personal settings in tcode BP. ...

dear all, I hope it is ok to post this question here. We are in the process of migrating to SAP S4 Hana (2020) on premise coming from ECC6. I am told our hardware specification exceeds much more than the requirements of SAP. Running Mass Changes on S4 (compared to ECC exactly the same data) is ...
