SAP : Findings on Sales Order BAPI

1. When trying to create a subsequent order with respect to a preceding sales document (Contract - Order or Quote - Order) using BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2) the standard SAP Copy control routines will not be triggered.
2. The contract reference and item reference have to be passed for document flow.
3. Any logic necessary for copy controls needs to be re-coded before calling the BAPI.
4. In cases where there are manual item categories are to be determined, the item categories have to be passed to the BAPI based on a pre-determined logic.
5. The BAPI's determine the Item Categories based on the standard configuration maintained via TCode VOV4 (Table T184).
6. The BAPI's would call the user-exits, enhancements and pricing routines during the order processing.

 

P.S. : I would add to the list based on my future findings
