BAPI to Update Customer master data

Former Member — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:28:14 GMT

Hi,

I have a requirement to set Industry Code (KNA1-BRAN1~5) by using BAPI. I went through the BAPI list but found no relevant one. BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1 does not meet my requirement since there's no industry code in its input parameter.

Any idea on this?

The field Industry Code is under Marketing tab in the T.CODE XD03.

Regards,

Duke

@Nagaraj

Thank you for your quick response. This requirement is trigger by creation or changing a customer, so LMSW is not suitable in this situation.

Class CMD_EI_API is the best option to update Customer master data.


    CALL METHOD cmd_ei_api=>maintain
      EXPORTING
        is_master_data = lt_customers
      IMPORTING
        es_error       = lt_error.

You should be very careful passing data to these deep structures.
