RR done thru BAPI, but UD fails

[tanuj_parikh]

Dear All,

We are doing RR thru BAPI thru external System. Design is, after successful RR, BDC for UD is called and UD is getting happened.

Issue is for some lots RR is successfully happening but UD is not getting done.

When I go in UD screen, System allows manual UD without any apparent misbehaviour.

What I found is, it is returning message: Characteristic with confirmation number <ConfirmationNumber> is already blocked. This message is for some Lots without UD, but for some lots even there is no return message !

Inspite of this message, RR is successful and this MIC is Closed.

Queries:

1. What is the role of Confirmation no. of MIC? What i understood is, confirmation no. is unique across the lots. Correct me if I am wrong. Why System is throwing this message and simultaneously RR is Closed for this MIC?

2. What is role of Field: INPPROC_READY in Table: QAMR? How this field is getting updated, when? Currently, this field is Blank for all MICs in QAMR.

Regards,

Tanuj Parikh

Sounds more like a timing issue to me and you are running into database locks that are preventing the UD from completing.

In your automated process, try putting in a reasonable delay or wait period between closing all the characteristics and trying to make the UD.
