Differences between function modules

Former Member — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:30:00 GMT

Hi Guru's,

I want to verify something.

I have 2 function modules, MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS and MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS_M.

Can the first function module only process only 1 E1MARAM segment per MATMAS idoc and the second function module can process multiple E1MARAM segments per IDOC?

Help will be appreciated.

Guido

Hi,

By referring to the Function group description of the Function modules you can find out the difference.First one is for SIngle Material & second FM is for Creation of Mass-IDOC Material Master.

MASTERIDOC_CREATE_MATMAS_MASS is used in MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS_M where as

MASTERIDOC_CREATE_MATMAS is used in MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS.

This should give you the clue for difference between both of them.

Hi Vinod,

Thank you for your reply, I still have a question based on your reply.

Is the second FM creating multiple IDOCS at one time or one IDOC with multiple materials?

Best regards,

Guido

Hi,

It is single idoc with multiple materials.

Refer to call MASTERIDOC_CREATE_MATMAS_MASS from Function Module "MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS_M".

FM MASTERIDOC_CREATE_MATMAS_MASS cumulates all the rows into structure "LT_DOC_DATA".

These records are passed to idoc through single call to FM MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE in Function module "MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATMAS_M".
