The change pointers are based on MARA, MARC and MAKT fields.</P><P></P><P>I'm finding that the BD21 transaction will only produce a MATMAS IDOC if I have the materials inserted into an open change master. I'm referring to the document you create with transaction CC01.</P><P></P><P>Is this the only way SAP can generate the MATMAS IDOCs? The company I work for would like not to have to add each material number to the object list of a change master.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:03:45 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/material-master-idocs-change-pointers-and-change-documents/m-p/3211111#M765533 Former Member 2007-12-18T17:03:45Z https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/material-master-idocs-change-pointers-and-change-documents/m-p/3211112#M765534 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>BD21 is used to create comm.
