SAP 2021 - How do you update the new Phase/Subphase fields programmatically?

[former_member600549]

I am investigating how to trigger a phase/suibphase change from 'Ready to Schedule' to 'Ready for Execution' on operations.

Somethings I have noticed:

• I can change the operation's status using STATUS_CHANGE_INTERN_VB to 'DSPT', but the phase does not update and it stays in 'Ready to Schedule'.
• The strange part is in AFVC it also shows the 'Ready to Schedule' phase/subphase on fields: MAINTORDOPPROCESSPHASECODE and MAINTORDOPPROCESSSUBPHASECODE. However in fiori it will show the correct phase/subphase values, 'Ready for Execution'. This makes me suspect that there is logic in the fiori tile.
• I can force phase/subphase to update in afvc for this operation by running bapi_alm_order_maintain and bapi_transaction_commit, and forcing a save on the operation description and the order description. This only works if I call those function modules twice in a row and only for 1 order's operations at a time. I know that is not the correct way to update phase/subphase but it is something I've tried.

Any insight into how these new fields are updated in AFVC would be helpful.

SAP produces many different software. Here, I guess you're talking about S/4HANA 2021.

sandra.rossi that is correct. I do not think they currently have a way to do this directly. I think it will be added in 2022.

Good Question, but SAP is actually still developing that.

Warm Regards!

Did anyone tried changing Phase & Subphase for order or operations? Any solution to this?
