BAPI (BOM) TOP Material

[Former Member]

HI all

I have the following problem:

Selection: Material (Component)

I can find the next BOM level with the FM "CS_WHERE_USED_MAT". But I need the TOP level.

Is there a better FM/BAPI that I can use to find the last material number (final assembly)?

Thanks

Hi,

I know functions that get the structure to the deepest level but on the opposite way not ... and it would interesting to learn.

I might suggest that you work with a loop in order to get the top-level in the structure:

DO WHILE SUBRC = 0.

Call function CS_WHERE_USED_MAT

exporting

MATNR = MYMATNR

importing

exceptions.

if sy-subrc = 0.

read table MATCAT where ....

move MATCAT-MATNR to MYMATNR.

else.

subrc = 4.

endif.

ENDDO.
