Functionality
WBS elements of a project can be changed with BAPI"BAPI_BUS2054_CHANGE_MULTI". Here, parameter I_PROJECT_DEFINITION mustcontain the project definition to which the WBS elements belong. Thenames of the individual WBS elements (WBS_ELEMENT) and the new valuesmust be entered in table "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE". The names of theindividual WBS elements (WBS_ELEMENT) must also be entered in table"IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE_UPD", so that they can be assigned. In addition,the fields that are to be changed are flagged here with an 'X'. Theother fields remain unchanged.
Before anything is changed, the following is checked:

  • Is another project already being processed in the LUW (Logical Unit of
    • Work)?
    • Can the project be locked?

      • If the checks were not successful, nothing is changed. Otherwise, eachWBS element is changed individually in "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE", althoughfirst the following is checked:
      • Is the changed data still consistent?

      • Does each individual entry in table "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE" have a
        • corresponding entry in table "IT_WBS_ELEMENT_TABLE_UPD" (same entryWBS_ELEMENT)?
        If all checks were successful, the individual WBS element is changed inthe document tables.
        As soon as a LUW (Logical Unit of Work) is completed with the BAPIBAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT and COMMIT WORK, the WBS element is finally changed.
        Only one project or WBS element from a project can be processed at atime in one LUW.
        The return parameter RETURN displays first an error or success messagethat shows whether the WBS element could be changed. The first messagevariable contains the object type, the second contains the object ID,and the fourth contains the GUID (if it could be read). All relatedmessages that were generated during processing are listed underneaththe error or success messages. The parameters of the individualmessages are filled with the object ID.
