Create and Update Equipment Using BAPI
BAPI NAME: BAPI_EQUI_CREATE
This is a standard BAPI used for creating a single Equipment. The newly created Equipment fields are updated only to the GENERAL and SPECIFIC views. To update the Equipment’s task list usage (009 is set for Routing ) RFC_CALL_TRANSACTION_USING is used.
 |
The BAPI_EQUI_CREATE requires an explicit commit using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Creating and Changing Control Characteristics
By default, ESI services will not process control characteristics. The relevant attribute on the distribution target has to be set in order for control characteristics (associated to a part, to a process plan or to an operation) to be processed.
With the distribution target attributes for publishing control characteristics and for publishing alternate parts set, control characteristics associated to an alternate part will be processed as well.
With the distribution target attributes for publishing control characteristics and for publishing substitute parts set, control characteristics associated to a substitute part will be processed as well.
With the distribution target attribute Publish Control Characteristics when Publishing a Process Plan set to Yes, control characteristics associated to an operation will be processed as well, when processing the holding process plan. This happens regardless of the value of the distribution target attribute for publishing control characteristics associated to a part, even if those control characteristics are also associated to a part.
Control characteristics have to be associated to a part or to a manufacturing object (such as a process plan or an operation) in order for ESI services to process them. In order for a control characteristic associated to an operation to be processed, the control characteristic must be associated to its owner.
When processing control characteristics, the quality links that associate a control characteristic to a part, a process plan or an operation are processed as well.
Control characteristics may or may not be associated to model items.
Model items associated to control characteristics will be processed only for newly created or changed control characteristics. Also, only those attributes that are relevant for a given type of model item will be processed.
Attempting to publish a control characteristic whose model item’s EPM document is no longer associated to the owner of the control characteristic will result in a failure.
A control characteristic would be rendered as an unchanged object if it is republished after simply changing its description. In order for the control characteristic to be processed as a changed object, a new version of the object should be released.
Creating Control Characteristic Associations to Operations
The following API structure tables list all the APIs and the respective API fields that are required to create routings with Inspection characteristic within the current version of SAP distribution targets. These APIs are listed in the order in which they are invoked.
BAPI_Routing_Create
This BAPI is used to create Routings with having Operations associated with MICs (Control characteristic link with Operation). The invocation of BAPI_Routing_Create is followed by the BAPI_Transaction_Commit or BAPI_Transaction_Rollback based on success or failure of the call.
|
|
Note the following:
• This BAPI requires an explicit COMMIT WORK. So, the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT needs to be called along with for database updations (Function module Sequence call)
• The creation will always be one time for a particular Routing i.e. you have to pass the values for the tables TASK, OPERATION & INSPCHARACTERISTIC in the single run. It is not possible to first to create the routing & then to transfer/create the MIC association.

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
This API is used to commit a transaction to the SAP system. If the return message generated from executing the BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE API is a success, then this API will be executed. When this API is executed, all MIC data sent from Windchill PDMLink are committed to the QMSP database table. Refer to the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP R/3 for an explanation of howWindchill ESI interprets the results of the SAP API calls. The following table provides details on this API.
|
|
No data is passed through the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT function module but it is necessary to call the module to release the material in case invalid data is passed through. There are no variations of data inputs for this API for different data requirements. Refer to Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP R/3 for an explanation of how SAP APIs are called in sequence to execute each business function.

BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK
This API is used to rollback a transaction to the SAP distribution target. If the return message generated from the BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE function is not a success then this API will be executed. When this API is executed, all MIC data sent from Windchill PDMLink is rolled back. Refer to the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP R/3for an explanation of how Windchill ESI interprets the results of the SAP API calls. The following table provides details on this API.
|
|
No data is passed through the BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK function module but it is necessary to call the module. Refer to the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP R/3 for an explanation of how SAP APIs are called in sequence to execute each Windchill ESI business function.
|
Changing or Deleting Control Characteristic Links With Operations
The following API structure table lists the API fields that are required to create/change/delete MIC associations with Routing operations within the current version of SAP distribution targets.
ZRFC_MAINTAIN_MAT_SPEC
SAP does not provide any standard APIs to create/change/delete MIC associations with Routing operations (Transaction code: CA02). This custom RFC has been developed using the BDC method provided by SAP, which records the screen and its' fields, which are used to fill the values on the screen.
|
|
This custom-RFC is developed and tested in standard SAP IDES system instances (ECC 6.0, ECC 6.06, ECC6.07, and ECC6.08). The RFC fails if there is a difference in the screens or screen-flows (if any in your SAP systems).
|
Although this BAPI is not declared as “commit required” by SAP, from external system for multi threading mode, it is required to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to end the session otherwise locking errors may occur.
Further details on the RFC can be seen at the RFC DOCUMENTATION.

Creating and Deleting Control Characteristic Associations with Parts
The following API structure table lists the API fields that are required to create or delete MIC associations with a Material specification (or Part) within the current version of SAP distribution targets.
ZRFC_MAINTAIN_MAT_SPEC
SAP does not provide any standard APIs to create/update/delete MIC associations with a Material specification (Transaction code: QS61). This custom RFC has been developed using the BDC method provided by SAP, which records the screen and its' fields, which are used to fill the values on the screen.
|
|
This custom-RFC is developed and tested in standard SAP IDES system instances (ECC 5.0 & ECC 6.0). The RFC fails if there is a difference in the screens or screen-flows (if any in your SAP systems).
|
Although this ZRFC is not declared as “commit required”, from external system for multi threading mode, it is required to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to end the session otherwise locking errors may occur.
Further details on the RFC can be seen at the RFC DOCUMENTATION.
