Extending the Material Master

Former Member — Wed, 17 May 2006 17:14:04 GMT

Hi all,

I've extended the material master for mara with 3 ZZ fields. I've added these fields to BAPI_TE_MARA/X and am using EXTENSIONIN/X with BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA to create the material.

This has been unit tested and until recently this was working OK, the MM was created along with the mara being popluated with the ZZ fileds and these were showing on the basic data 1 tab of the material master.

Nothing has changed. I can see the data in extension/x for the ZZ fields being passed to BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA, the MM is created OK still but no ZZ fields are populated in mara and no data displayed in MM03.

A bit vague I know but has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

You need to modify internal table TMARA_UEB. When you enhance MARA table with Zfields, you can't use standard SAP BAPI. I copied Bapi_material_save data and modified internal table TMARA_UEB. this internal table will have all zfields, you added in MARA. but not BAPI_MARA. you have import MARA append structure to the BAPI.

At the end it calls SAP standard function "Material_maintain_dark".

I enhanced Material master extensively and it worked for me. give a try.

Thanks

Hari
