Hi all,

It is better to use BAPIs instead of BDC.

Try using the bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

Refer this thread for sample usage of the bapi:

tx for ur info ravi.

but the issue is i have lots of miscelaneous materials.

each material combination of views is different from the other matnr. so if i select all the views, i have to populate all unnecessary fields also for such materials.

any other clues.

Hi Kiran,

In that case you have to Use the FM:

SELECTION_VIEWS_FIND to get the list of views that are active for the particular material.

YOu have to pass the mara-pstat field to the fm.

Based on the index of the view name, you have to code accordingly to chose the view.

Hi,

Better to use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, you need to pass the mandatory fields here, anyways if you use the BDC also you need to pass the mandatory fields, Handiling BDC for MM02 is quite difficult, so better go for BAPI.

if you still wants the BDC for MM02, just with this link ..
