Problem updating characteristics via BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT

Former Member — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:35:54 GMT

Hi all,

I'm using 'BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT' to change some characteristics in a material in SAP Retail, but it does not work with some characteristics if they are not marked previously via MM42->Basic Data->Goto characteristic values.

The problem is that BAPI cannot set the new value because it is not availble. When this happens the BAPI shows the message error message " MERCADO_MAT : Value 'GE' not found ", where MERCADO_MAT is the characteristic and 'GE' is the value.

If I set that value via 'MM42->Basic Data->Goto characteristic values' manually or with a Call transaction, I can execute the BAPi succesfully. But what I need is a function module that updates this and don't call to a 'call transaction' everytime I need to change this.

Thanks in adavance for your response.

Best regards.

Alex.

Hi again,

I have created a message to the IT company that helps with SAP Oss Notes and they say there is no manner to do this by other way different of a BDC... This is strange for me as I believed these kind of simple steps could be done via Bapi or other function module.

Did you have this problem any time in your retail projects?

Thanks in advance.

Alex.
