bapi_material_savedata does not update z fields

[Former Member]

hi all,

we r using 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' to update MVKE with 3 custom fields and one standard field.

BAPI_TE_MVKE, BAPI_TE_MVKEX are extended to include the z-fields.

after BAPI call commit is also done. BAPI returns a success message. but finally in table i dont see the update.

what could be the reason ? we have done such things before and succeeded.

<b>but this time the difference is that the z-fields added to MVKE are not present in any view of any transaction.

they are only in the table</b>

any useful info. in this regard is appreciated.

Hello all,

please make sure that customizing is set properly for the Z-fields.

Follow the steps in post:

Important for MVKE extension:

1. 'field selection group' (T130F-FGRUP) must be set to a valid entry (e.g. 054, 090, 230,... for MVKE extension)
2. 'maintenance status' (T130F-PSTAT) must contain a 'V'.

Here is a demo report that is working for me (change of existing material) after correct customizing setup:
