Changing 'no further confirmation' flag in PO

[former_member184741]

hi,

I am in SRM7. i want to change the 'No further confiramtions' flag in PO item level in 'related documents' tab using a report.

i am using the below code to do that

CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
*   I_GUID                           =
  I_OBJECT_ID                      =  po_no
*   I_ATTACH_WITH_DOC                = ' '
  I_WITH_ITEMDATA                  = 'X'
IMPORTING
  E_HEADER                         = ls_hdr
*   ET_ATTACH                        =
TABLES
  E_ITEM                           = lt_item .

data: lt_item_upd type table of BBP_PDS_PO_ITEM_ICU,
      ls_item_upd type BBP_PDS_PO_ITEM_ICU.
loop at lt_item assigning <ls_item> where number_int eq itemno.
  move-corresponding <ls_item> to ls_item_upd.
  ls_item_upd-final_entry = 'D'.
  append ls_item_upd to lt_item_upd.
endloop.
data: ls_hdr_upd type BBP_PDS_PO_HEADER_U.
move-corresponding ls_hdr to ls_hdr_upd.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE'
EXPORTING
*             I_PARK                        =
  i_header                      =  ls_hdr_upd
  I_SAVE                        = 'X'
IMPORTING
  E_CHANGED                     =  lv_changed
  ES_HEADER                     =  ls_hdr_new
TABLES
  I_ITEM                        = lt_item_upd .

CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_PO_SAVE'
EXPORTING

*  IV_USERTYPE                  = 'E'
  IV_HEADER_GUID               = ls_hdr_new-guid
*                     
  .

CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PROCDOC_RESET_BUFFER'
*       EXPORTING
*         I_NO_STATUS       = ' '
*         I_NO_WFL          = C_ON
.
commit work and wait.

i am getting 'X' in e_changed parameter, but when i see the PO in webgui the indiactor still say 'Yes'.

what i am seeing in bbp_pd is i am seeing a new change version for the PO but in 'deleted' status. i saw even if i change this flag using a test user, the change version is in deleted status. so i think that is an issue.in the change version i am seeing the final entry flag deleted. but the changed are not reflecting in the active version.

am i missing something here? is this some authorization issue? where should i debug to see why the active version is not updating? surprisingly i am able to change the item quantities successfully.

thanks

i found out the solution updated post with it

[former_member184741]

hi guys,

I finally found the solution at 1:00 AM after debugging the whole SAP code for PO update. here is the logic sap following ( i did this in SRM7, not sure if it is same in SRM4)

loop at lt_item assigning <ls_item> where number_int eq itemno.
  move-corresponding <ls_item> to ls_item_upd.
  ls_item_upd-final_entry = 'D'.
  append ls_item_upd to lt_item_upd.
endloop.

when we want update the final entry in PO item we should do the following

if you want to remove it pass ls_item_upd-final_entry as 'B' ( not space or D )

if you want the check the flag pass 'C' ( not X or S)

internally SAP converts the B to D and finally to blank

simillarly in the other case it converts from C to S to X and then updates the tables.

it really sounds crazy but i believe SAP might be having good reason for doing this. it is really hard to figure out this, without debugging. i wish SAp documnets this somewhere in SAP help. otherwise many more developers will waste hours to figure out this. i hope my answer will help other developers who are trying to achieve a similar result.

thanks
