Hi,

did you commit your work with the fm

BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT? This should be done after running a bapi.

Hi,

isn't the division some kind of sales view data, is it? If yes you need also to check the sales_view + some additional fields.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Divivsion field is in basic view.

But as you said i tried by checking the sales view.

It didnt work.

As far as i am testing, i can update only

weight unit, basic quantity unit, material group .

remaining fields are not updated.

i am using X for setting the view flags

I am using 1 for setting the field flags

I am leaving the delete flag as blank. Is it all right.

i tried debugging the bapi also.

since i am new to sap, icould not continue.

the purpose is that i am going to update the material from .net. so i am testing first in abap.

please continue your cooperation

Hi,

unfortunately I am not very familiar with that BAPI, so I cannot help you at this point. Hope somebody else can answer your question.

Hi Shankar,

I just tried the BAPI on our system just for changing the division. I set the new value for the Division in structure CLIENTDATA and a 'X' in the corresponding field of structure CLIENTDATAX; and it works....

Hi all,

I have found why BAPI_material_savedata didnot update the fields in my server.

The fields are assigned hide permission in the field groups.

if you go to the transaction oms9 you can view the permission. if the fields is assigned hide permission for mal1 and mal2, then bapi wont consider those fields.

any data transfer through ale will use the mal1 and mal2.

I think this might be useful information.

i have searched for 2 weeks but in vein. at last i found somehow.

I got another issue.

i directly ran the bapi and i selected the sales view.

i inpuuted the plant and profit center which are mandatory.

everything wnet fine.

when i called the bapi from the report, i hardcoded the value of profit center. bapi does accept the profit center value in this case. same values in direct running and hardcoding didnt work.

anybody can help me

Hi Shankar,

The only reason I can think of is that profit center is a field with a conversion exit (ALPHA); if you don't use the full 10 characters you should convert the value for input.
