Clear a field using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA?

Former Member — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:01:15 GMT

Hi gurus,

I am attempting to clear MLAN-TAXIM using the above BAPI. When I send in a blank space in the field of the taxclassifications data, it says update successful but does not actually do anything. Is there a trick to clearing using that BAPI? And if not possible, are there alternate ways to do so? Trying to avoid using MASS for this.

Hello Kelby

Taking a look into the BAPI, it seems that you have to passa a "!" to clear the field:

note 990890: initialize TAXIM for '!' value

IF tstmm_ueb-taxim = '!'.

CLEAR tstmm_ueb-taxim.

tstmm_ueb-kz_init = 'X'.

ENDIF.

Luis Becker

Do you have only one tax record for this material?

In an Idoc I need to submit ALL records from table MLAN which belong to that material and sales org.

What other data do you submit together for this change? Maybe it is too less for a successful update of MLAN. Does your BAPI know about the plant?
