From the function module documentation:

o MATERIAL

Only external number assignment is supported for the material number

(MATERIAL). If you want the material number to be assigned

internally, the method BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBER must first be

called. This method determines an internal number for the material

to be created. You must enter this internal number in field

HEADDATA-MATERIAL.

Hope this helps,
