Hi Vishnu,

At first I was surprised to see this question. We cannot change material number. Hence there are 2 options available:

1) Create a copy of the material and change the material number to what you want at the time of creation of the new material by inserting code in the fm that generates a material number.

2) use the field material_external to store the material number required. This field is available in the import parameter 'HEADDATA' of BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

The second option should be better.

Nimish
