Functionality This BAPI provides the installation function to transaction IE4N withoutan interface being processed. Using this function module, an item of equipment can be installed inanother item of equipment or technical location. The equipment must be aserial number. The configuration control checks if the installation is allowed, or ifthere is a structure gap at the installation position. The structure gapis deleted by the installation. A goods movements of the material from the warehouse is carried outduring the installation. A maintenance notification is created to document the installation. Notes An update is triggered within the function module, that is, eachequipment installation is updated immediately. An update is not tri ggered in simulation mode (import parameter I_SIMULATION). A long text for the maintenance notification being created can bedefined in table IT_LONGTEXT. Only one long text is supported for thenotification header, therefore the OBJTYPE field must contain the valueQMEL>. The OBJKEY field must be initial. Using the import table EXTENSION_IN, customer-specific fields can betransferred to the module. The fields must then be entered in therelevant structures using the MODIFY_DATA method in the BAdIBAPI_IE4N_EXTEND. Other customer enhancements and checks can also beimplemented in this method. Note that no dialogs are processed in themethod, however. All messages that accumulate during processing are returned in tableRETURN. If errors occur, the table also stores the relevant errormessages.Further information For more information, see the online documentation for transaction IE4N. Description The data required to perform the goods movement in the installation istransferred in this structure. Certain fields (such as SPEC_STOCK) are not used for the installation. Default None Description This structure is used to specify the installation location, theinstallation position, and the time at which the installation is due tobe carried out. Default None Description The data required to create a notification is transferred in thisstructure. If a notification number is specified, the relevant notification ismodified, otherwise a new notification is created. The fields DISM_PLANNED, DISM_UNPLANNED, PART_SERVICEABLE, PART_DEFECT,and PART_UNDEFINED are not used for equipment installation. Use the table IT_LONGTEXT to create a long text for the installationnotification. Default None Description Number that uniquely identifies the equipment> tobe installed. The equipment must be a serial number. Alternatively, the materialnumber and the serial number can be specified.Default None Description If this indicator is set, the relevant equipment has been installeddespite validation errors in the configuration control. Value range 'X' and SPACE Default Not set Description Material number of the equipment being installed. The combination ofmaterial number and serial number uniquely identifies the equipment. Alternatively, the equipment number can be entered directly. Default None Description Parameter for long material number You can use this parameter to transfer long material numbers, with amaximum length of 40 characters. Before you can use this parameter, you must switch on the switch forbusiness function LAMA (long material number) in the system. Business function LAMA is available as part of the business function setfor DIMP. Value range None Default None Description You can use this field to determine whether or not a goods movementtakes place when the equipment is dismantled. Value range 'X' and SPACE Default Not set Description You can use this parameter to deactivate the planned structure (masterpart list). Value range 'X' and SPACE Default Not set Description Serial number of the equipment being installed. The combination ofserial number and material number uniquely identifies the equipment. Alternatively, the equipment number can be entered directly. Default None Description If this indicator is set, the equipment installation is simulated. Nochanges are made. Value range 'X' and SPACE Default Not set Description Additional fields can be transferred to the BAPI using this table. The fields can be processed using the BAdI methodBAPI_IE4N_EXTEND->MODIFY_DATA. Default Empty Description The lines of the notification long text are specified in the table. Long texts are currently only created for the notification header, thatis, the OBJTYPE field must contain the value 'QMEL', and the OBJKEYfield must be initial. Default None Description Return table based on BAPI standard containing all messages generatedduring processing. If there are category E or A messages, this meansthat the data has not been saved. |
