Change Material Type

[Former Member]

I am looking for a BAPI to change the material type on a material. I need to run this in batch as there is high volume. I am looking for something besides transaction MMAM.

check BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

I should have mentioned that I already checked that BAPI. You cannot change the mat type

Hey u r correct. I tried and not able to change it. Probably u have to do it with BDC. If i found some thing i will update.

Thanks,

Vinod.

HI,

U can use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. Here in header parameter HEADDATA-MATL_TYPE pass ur new material type and in header paraneter and material number as well.

Next commit using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Thanks,

Vinod.

As far as I know, I think BDC on MMAM is the only option. Will be interesting to find if there is any other option.

yeah, thats what I am thinking and would like to stay away from BDC. but probably will end up that way ........
