Hi,

Can u check FM MATERIAL_REFERENCE_GEN is useful or not?

It is not a BAPI/RFC.

If this FM works fine for your requirement, you can create a wrapper function module using this function module.

Thanks,

Ramakrishna

Yes it is possible thru BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. You will need to get all of the data for the reference material, into the structures for the BAPI, then simple chang the material number to the new material number.

The field names are different in the BAPI then the fields in MARA, MARC, MARD, MBEW, etc. So you will need to map them.
