Bapi to Create a meterial from a template material

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a requirement to create a material, through a bapi.. But if there is a template material ( copy from material.. ) is given, the material should be created with the details of the given material except the basic data and Classification view. Can any one tell me how can i proceed with this?

I Can use BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_DETAIL, and the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. But how can the data be passed from one to another, as they have different structures? and will all the views be taken care of in this way? Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAPI_MATERIAL_GETALL returns structures similar to BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA
