Hi,

Yes, this is done through some configuration settings, thanks for your post.

I have one more issue when generation IDOC for this LSMW BAPI method, Like for one article and its multiple characteristic values multiple IDOC's are generating as i am expecting only one IDOC for article and its multiple characteristic values.

Can you please help if you have any idea.

Thanks &Regards,

I actually do not know since I am not working in a retail system, in the core ERP system classification cannot be loaded with the same BAPI as the material master. characteristics, classes and classification have to be loaded individually.

However, the usual way would be to repeat the segment which holds the information.

If I am really curious then I usually investigate how SAP is doing this. I setup a ALE scenario and send a material that I created as example. Then I can check the IDOC and see how it is structured and which segments I find the relevant data.
