BAPI Commit Delay Solution

It happens to us all. Sometimes, SAP runs asynchronous processes. If we have to make multiple BAPI calls (or run multiple batch inputs) in a loop, we might get lock errors at the 2nd, 3rd, etc BAPI call (even if we say “COMMIT WORK AND WAIT”).

Here is a simple but effective solution to this problem:

loop at itab.
  ” do stuff
  ” call function ‘BAPI…’
  ” commit work and wait

  do.
   wait up to 1 seconds.
   ” check if BAPI recording is finished
   ” look at tables, locks, etc.
   ” if process has finished.
    exit.
   endif.
  enddo.

endloop.
