BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA - extending this BAPI

[Former Member]

I want to extend this BAPI to update customer fields that we are adding on MARA. Does anyone have an example ( not the help documentation on EXTENSIONIN/EXTENSIONX.)

thx,

Hi

Here is a sample code I had written some time back. There are many BAPIs which use these structures to update fields which are added to std Tables like MARA.

This will work if MARA , BAPI_TE_MARAX , BAPI_TE_MARA & T130f all have appropreate fields.
