2710532 - Typical query: "RPRAPA00 does not transfer changes" to vendor and how to analyze the process

An employee is hired, changed the company code or got a new bank account or address. This is not reflected on the vendor. The typical conclusion is "RPRAPA00 does not transfere changes" or "RPRAPA00 does not select employees with changes". It can be taken as granted, that RPRAPA00 does select all relevant employees which are within the selection parameters on the selection screen of the report. It is however important to have these basic fundamentals of this process in mind:

• RPRAPA00 is definetly not creating or updating any vendor. RPRAPA00 uses the batch input interface provided by report RFBIKR00. This means, that RPRAPA00 only creates a workfile saved to the workfile directory specified on the selection screen of the report. This workfile serves as input for the next step:
• The report RFBIKR00 in turn reads this data file and creates a batch input session for transactions XK01, XK02 and XK03 based on the content of the work file.
• The created batch input session in turn must be processed in SM35 or automatically via report RSBDSCUB.

Only if all these 3 steps are processed without error, a vendor will have been created or updated or locked.
