Hi,

I want to record 3 material types a)raw material, b) finished product c) semi finished with different views how can I do it ?, because each material type have different views how I have to do this.

Hi,

may be it's better you do 3 different registration.

I think you keep your data from a file. I hope you have some field which can differentiate each case.

Hi

Instead of BDc use following function module

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

Below is given documentation for this function module

Short text

Create and Change Material Master Data

Functionality

You use this method to create new material master data or to change existing material master data. The data on a material can be transferred for each call.

When creating material master data, you must transfer the material number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You must also enter a material description and its language.

When changing material master data, you need enter only the material number.

In the header data, you must select at least one view for which data is to be created. Depending on the view selected, you must maintain other required parameters. If you do not enter values for all of the required parameters, the method is ended with an error message.

The corresponding fields in the tables (such as CLIENTDATA) must first be supplied with data by the calling program. An indicator must also be set for each of these fields so that the data is written to the database by the method. This requires the calling program to supply the corresponding field with the indicator in a checkbox table (for example, CLIENTDATAX). Checkbox tables exist for tables that do not contain any language-dependent texts (MAKT, MLTX), International Article Numbers (MEAN), or tax classifications (MLAN). Several data records for a material can be created in these tables.

If a structure contains fields for units of measurement (such as structure CLIENTDATA, field BASE_UOM), language indicators (such as structure MATERIALDESCRIPTION, field LANGU), or country indicators (such as structure TAXCLASSIFICATIONS, field DEPCOUNTRY), there is always a field of the same name with the ending _ISO . This makes it possible to transfer either the internally used SAP code or a standardized ISO code for the units of measurement, language indicators, or country indicators. ISO codes are converted to an SAP code internally for further processing. The ISO code is used only if the SAP code is not transferred. If you use ISO codes, there must be a unique assignment of the ISO code to the SAP code in the following activities in Customizing for Global Parameters:

Check Units of Measurement

Define Countries

If you want to maintain long texts (basic data texts, internal comments, purchase order texts, material memos, or sales texts) or customer-defined fields for a material, some special conditions have to be observed. They are described in the documentation for parameters MATERIALLONGTEXT and EXTENSIONIN.

Hi Vivek,

YOu should have three recordings for the three cases you have mentioned.

While populating the BDC structures, you should check for the Material Type field for a)raw material, b) finished product or c) semi finished .

Depending on the value of the Material type, one of the recording should be executed.

However, You can have the same logic for the part of the code which is common for all the material types.

Thanks,

You can also use program RMDATIND for creating materials. You will have to format the file correctly with data in structure BGR00 ,BMM00 , BMMH1. See the program documentation for more info.
