BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA - in update task?

[wolfgang_brunneder]

Hello!

I would like to change cross-plant material status using function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. A requirement is that the changes are saved IN UPDATE TASK which means that the changes are not written to db until a BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Unfortunately it seems that BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA writes changes at an implicit database commit. My questions: Is my assumption right? and does another possibility exist to write the changes IN UPDATE TASK?

Kind regards

Hello!

Thanks for your reply! But I'm already able to change the cross-plant material status with this FM. Unfortunatley it seems that BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA doesn't write the changes using IN UPDATE TASK. As a result the changes get to DB before intended!

My question is: If my assuption is right and (if yes) how I can change material data IN UPDATE TASK?

Thanks in advance!
