Create Batch using BAPI during Production order release/confirmation

[Ashish_Talekar]

Dear Experts,

Need to Create Batch During Production Order Release/Confirmation, during this process need to copy values from custom fields created at header level of production order to the batch characteristics.

On On-Prem system "BAPI_BATCH_CREATE" BAPI was used to replicate the above requirement although I am not sure.

Need the BAPI or a similar setup which will help complete the requirement.

Thank You

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

In S/4HANA Cloud there are no BAPI's available for the creation of batches.

Please take a look at the following blog:

• Calling BAPIs in the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

This blog cover the the usage of “traditional” SAP integration technologies (RFC and BAPIs) which were partly whitelisted for usage with SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. These technologies have been around for more than 20 years and were the work-horse concepts in the SAP ERP On-Premise world. But for the SAP Cloud they will only be required during a transition phase and will be replaced by SOAP and ODATA APIs.

You can use APIs to connect business processes across your system landscape.

API API_BATCH_SRV enables you to retrieve batches and their classification data. In addition, batches and classification data can be created and updated. The service is based on the OData protocol and can be consumed by external systems and user interfaces. This service is published on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub. 

Please take a look at the following links for more details:

• API Hub - Batch Master Record
• SAP Help - Batch Master Record

If the API doesn't meet your needs, you have the option to submit an improvement request in SAP Customer Influence, please take a look at note 2712608 - Request for new features in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Manufacturing.

Thanks and regards,
Mateus

Hello @Mateus,

From what you have shared it indicates that the batch data can only be transferred/created from ON-Prem to Cloud using API right?

Can you just a suggest another method/concept which will help copy custom field data to a batch characteristics where we will create the batch manually during order confirmation? it is a show stopper as there are multiple fields which need to be entered to specify production parameters and right now the user has to do duplicate work to fill the custom fields and batch characteristics as well.

Or it is not at all possible?
