Convert structures for BAPI_SAVE_MATERIAL

[juergen_lanvers]

Hi Folks,

I have to use BAPI_SAVE_MATERIAL for creating/updating material. I get the data for the material from an old customer function which give me back the data in structure mara, marc .... So, is there a function which converts the data from mara to bapi_mara and so on? I know, i'm lazy 😉

Thanks for your help.

There is no BAPI_SAVE_MATERIAL in our system, did you mean BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA?

I'm lazy too, but I ran 'where used' for BAPI_MARA (took me less time than typing this) and found no such functions, sorry!

Can you explain briefly your requirement., so that I can try helping you.

Are you looking for this FM -BAPI_MATERIAL_UPLOAD_SAVE or BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA depending on your requirement, since both creates a material.

Hi Raja,

to provide compatibility I have to use an old customer function. This returns values for material in structures mara_ueb, marc_ueb .... With this values i want to create the material using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. Therefore i have to move the values of e.g. mara_ueb into the structure bapi_mara. My hope is that there is a function like MAP2E_MARA_TO_BAPIMATMRA doing this job for me.

Thanks in advance...

Hi Jurgen,

You can Create your Custom FM based on "MAP2I_BAPI_MARA_TO_MARA_UEB" Standard FM.

Just Reverse to Making Custom One .

Hi Smruti,

thanks, that was a good hint. I found the transaction BDBS which generates function modules for converting between int. und ext. structures.
