Example code for BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to create a network, network activity and its components using BAPI (BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN).

Can any one tell me out to find the mandatory tables and its parameters.

if possible with example code.

One More question, when i am creating a network, Which network number do i need to pass as objectkey in IMETHOD table ?

Same number i need to pass in INETWORK table also?

Do i need to use some existing number or the number will be assigned by system?

When the BAPI ends with error, i can see error messages in message table.

if BAPI is success, does it give any messages like success message.

Thanks,

Swapna.

Hi

Check the documentation of the BAPI in SE37. After you enter the BAPI in display mode.. Click on "Function Module Documentation" .

The documentation contains complete sample code and how to pass the values.

Hi,,

See the example

• create network ***********

if not network is initial.

MOVE '000001' TO itnetmethod-refnumber.

MOVE 'NETWORK' TO itnetmethod-objecttype.

MOVE 'CREATE' TO itnetmethod-method.

MOVE network TO itnetmethod-objectkey.

APPEND itnetmethod.

MOVE '000000' TO itnetmethod-refnumber.

MOVE ' ' TO itnetmethod-objecttype.

MOVE 'SAVE' TO itnetmethod-method.

MOVE ' ' TO itnetmethod-objectkey.

APPEND itnetmethod.

MOVE network TO itnetwork-network.

MOVE network_type TO itnetwork-network_type.

MOVE vplant TO itnetwork-plant.

MOVE 'NEW NETWORK' TO itnetwork-short_text.

MOVE wbs_element TO itnetwork-wbs_element.

MOVE '001' TO itnetwork-mrp_controller.

MOVE project_definition TO itnetwork-project_definition.

MOVE profile TO itnetwork-profile.

APPEND itnetwork.

REFRESH itemsg.

Hi

i_method_project-objecttype = 'NETWORKACTIVITY' . 
i_method_project-method = 'UPDATE'. 
i_method_project-objectkey = v-objkey.

Hi all,

Is this method 'SAVE' in IMETHOD table parameters is mandatory for creation of network using BAPI BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN

Hello,

I am trying to user BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN function module to create create a nework. However I cannot get past these errors.

The statuses could not be created while creating network "MS41-T000002" (Message ID CN #194)

WBS elem. cntrl. area "FP00" is not same as network cntrl. area (Message ID CN #068)

I can create the Network and activities through CN21 transaction using the same data that I am passing to BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN function module.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
