Symptom
You want to create a purchase order using the standard web service query ManagePurchaseOrderIn and you want to add the field "Process Type" in the file but you are unable to find this field in the query.
Environment
SAP Business By Design
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Application and user management work center
- Select view service explorer
- Select Maintain purchase orders-> ManagePurchaseOrderIn
- Open the documentation link
- The web service (ManagePurchaseOrderInMaintainBundle )sample does not contain process type field
Cause
The standard Business By Design web service query does not have specifically "process type" field in the purchase order request XML file.
But there is a Direct Material Indicator.
This indicator indicates if the item is a stock or consumable item. If the flag is set, then it is a stock item.
Resolution
If you want to specify the process type , you can set the indicator as True or false :
<DirectMaterialIndicator>false</DirectMaterialIndicator>
<ThirdPartyDealIndicator>false</ThirdPartyDealIndicator>
