BAPI to create material with reference

former_member772174 — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 08:24:05 GMT

Hi,

i'm looking for a BAPI to create Material with reference. I found BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA but didn't find a 'reference'-parameter.

As an alternative i could also use a BAPI that reads all the data you need for BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA from an existing material and then use this data to create a new material.

Unfortunately BAPI_MATERIAL_GETDETAIL does not provide the same fields.

Can anyone help me out.

regards

Steffen

Hi Abdul,

thanks for your answer.

The BAPI you mentioned calls a dialog. I need a remote BAPI (Material with reference) with no dialog to call it from PHP.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steffen!

With BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT it's no problem, but you have to use SAP-Retial.

But have a look at MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK, if here more options are available.

(i do not want to modify the function to remote enable it)

Hi Steffen

Have you tried to use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_ALL to get out the data you need to copy?

Hi Steffen!

You can follow two different ways:

- Max's approach: reading all needed material data from reference material and copying this 'manual' into the bapi call.

- Write a RFC-function, which just calls the bapi_material_maintain_dark - you don't need to modify, you just have to 'translate' the interface definition. Of course check first, if reference material is provided.

Christian

thank all of you guys,

i already found the GETALL BAPI, but i will have to map the structure of this BAPI to the structure of the _SAVEDATA BAPI.

... not really easy to use.

I just wanted to use RFC-Calls from outside SAP without having to change or write anything inside SAP. So Max's approach seems to be the only one.
