Hi,

Can you please more specific about your question?

What do you mean by parent article?

In MM43 under Basic Data (uppermost portion), if you input a generic article, only the article will be displayed. but if you input a variant article, its generic article will be displayed on top of it...

Its field name is RMMW1-VARNR. The generic article is RMMW1-MATNR.

I think i found what i've been looking for. It's in MARA-SATNR.

Blank when it's a generic article.

Contains the generic article if it's a variant article.

Hi..

It's MARA-SATNR.

MARA-ATTYP = '00' --> Single Article

'01' --> Generic Article

'02' --> Variant Article

If mara-attyp field is '02', mara-satnr field has the generic article number.

regards.
