BDC for MM02

Former Member — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 07:07:34 GMT

Hello,

I need to change 2 fields in the material master, specifically MBEW-ZKPRS and MBEW-ZKDAT. I began to do this by BDC, but see it's complicated when it comes to selecting the view!

In researching SDN, I see people saying to use BAPIs (MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK or BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA), or direct input (RMDATIND).... but I am not experienced greatly in this area!

Can you provide to me an example / the best solution, based on the change to the fields as I stated above???

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Timothy,

It would be better to use LSMW for this. It is easy and you already have standard batch input. Goto the 'Object Attribute' and select the radio button 'Standard Batch/Direct input'. Now select the object '0020' and method '0000', then the program RMDATIND will come automatically.

Thanks

Vinod

When calling MM02 using BDC's you can also select the specified view by setting the parameter id MB1 for accounting data for material.

I found a function module, FUTURE_PRICE_MBEW_SET, that meets specifically my needs.. thanks!

Hi Tim,

There is a tip for selecting view in BDC.

In you BDC record, you 'll have to always select the Basic Data1 view which is a mandatory view.

Then you can select your view by using the drop down menu at the end of tab block ( on the right ).

The OK-code will be the same for all mmaterial, that is to say : SP01 (BD1), SP02, SPxx .

Try that,

Erwan.

Hi Tim,

Would recommend looking at BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. Check out the VALUATIONDATA parameter. It uses structure BAPI_MBEW. the fields you need to use are FUTURE_PR and VALID_FROM. Note that there is another parameter called VALUATIONDATAX. I call these 'X' structures which you use to identify the fields you are using. Eg. if you are using VALUATIONDATA-FUTURE_PR, you must populate VALUATIONDATAX-FUTURE_PR with a 'X'.

Let me know how this goes.

Cheers,

Pat.
