Equivalent BAPI for a MB01 transaction?

Question

I'm trying to replace some un-reliable sap scripting we have in place to do an MB01 from a custom goods receipt application. I have come across the .NET connector and it looks like it could do a job for me.

Research has churned up the BAPI called BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE but can anyone tell me what parameters might be required to perform this transaction?

I have access to a SAP test environment.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE accepts a table of values called GOODSMVT_ITEM which contains 121 fields. I'm sure that not all of these fields are required.

Ultimately I guess my question is, what how can I work out which ones are required?

Answer 1

Do you have access to a SAP system? I have recently used this BAPI, and it has quite detailed documentation. To view the documentation, use transaction SE37, and enter the BAPI name. Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a system.

You will have to ask one of your MM/Logistics people to tell you what the movement type (BWART) is, and depending on the config you will need details like material number (MATNR), plant (WERKS), storage location etc.

Answer 2

MB01 is a Post GR for PO transaction, it is an equivalent of GM_Code 01 in MIGO or BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE. MIGO transaction is a modern successor for obsolete MB01.

So, as per the BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE documentation for GM_Code 01 the following fields are mandatory:

• Purchase order
• Purchase order item
• Movement type
• Movement indicator
• Quantity in unit of entry
• ISO code unit of measurement for unit of entry or quantity proposal

Here is the sample:

gmhead-pstng_date = sy-datum.
gmhead-doc_date = sy-datum.
gmhead-pr_uname = sy-uname.
gmcode-gm_code = '01'.

loop at pcitab.
  itab-move_type  = pcitab-mvt_type.
  itab-mvt_ind    = 'B'.
  itab-plant      = pcitab-plant.
  itab-material   = pcitab-material.
  itab-entry_qnt  = pcitab-qty.
  itab-move_stloc = pcitab-recv_loc.
  itab-stge_loc   = pcitab-issue_loc.
  itab-po_number  = pcitab-pur_doc.
  itab-po_item    = pcitab-po_item.
  concatenate pcitab-del_no pcitab-del_item into itab-item_text.
  itab-move_reas  = pcitab-scrap_reason.
  append itab.
endloop.

call function 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
  exporting
    goodsmvt_header  = gmhead
    goodsmvt_code    = gmcode

    goodsmvt_headret = mthead
