Create Material Master

[Former Member]

Hi guys

I want to describe my situation. I want to create a material master data with the bapi "bapi_master_savedata". I have found out that this is the right one. Now I went to Tcode "se37" and saw too many input possibilities. I inserted some values but an error says the value "matnr" is blank or something like that. I just want to insert some mandatory values, create a material and get back the response.

Import parameters

Headdata/MATERIAL=new_material

Headdata/IND_SECTOR=c

Headdata/MATL_TYPE=voll

Clientdata/MATL_GROUP=01

Clientdata/BASE_OUM=GAI

Tables

Materialdescription/MATL_DESC=neues_material_desc

My question to you is, which input values are mandatory and have to be given input at least??

Thanks for your help.

Actually....All parameters are optional except for <b>HEADDATA</b> which is mandatory...You must fill the whole structure. It's based on table <b>BAPIMATHEAD</b>.

Hi Alvaro

Thanks for the quick reply. Ok this information is a first big hint for me.

I have inserted some values in the headdata fiels and executed it. It says: "170 The parameter KZ_PFR does not contain a valid value".

I can't find this parameter in the headdata?

Where can I find it quickly amid that amount of parameters??

Hi

I have successfully created a material master data, horray. Thanks you all.

I have one final question. Is there any response value that is thrown back ???

Well, its an external Number range assigned, then you get the material number back.

You will definitly want to check the messages.

    returnmessages             = returnm

There will be a success message in there that says that the material was created.

The message class is M3 and number is 800, the new material number will be in the MESSAGE_V1 field

Hi Rich

There is a return of type BAPIRET2

and a returnmessages of type BAPI_MATRETURN2 (that you mentioned)

Ok I will check at least the fields in "returnmessages".

Where can I check the values from the response??

Maybe right away in tcode se37??

Gokhan,

If you executing the function in a stand alone mode, you will get it in SE37. If you are calling from a program, then the return values will come into the variable which is recieving the the values.

Hi Gokhan,

You can take a look at import, export and tables parameters of the function module/BAPI. If the optional checkbox is not checked then it means mandatory field otherwise an option for you to populate or not.

Hope this will help.

It really depends on what fields you have marked as required in configuration. Here is a sample program that creates a FERT material with the bare minimum fields.

report zrich_0003 .

data: headdata type bapimathead.
data: clientdata type bapi_mara.
data: clientdatax type bapi_marax.
data: descdata type table of BAPI_MAKT with header line.
data: return type  bapiret2 .
data: returnm type table of bapi_matreturn2 with header line.
data: xmara type mara.


parameters: p_matnr type mara-matnr.


headdata-material        = p_matnr.
headdata-ind_sector      = 'M'.
headdata-matl_type       = 'FERT'.
headdata-basic_view = 'X'.


clientdata-BASE_UOM   = 'EA'.
clientdatax-BASE_UOM   = 'X'.
clientdata-old_mat_no = 'Old Material'.
clientdatax-old_mat_no = 'X'.
clientdata-division = '00'.
clientdatax-division = 'X'.

descdata-LANGU = sy-langu.
descdata-MATL_DESC = 'This is the description'.
append descdata.

call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
  exporting
    headdata                   = headdata
    clientdata                 = clientdata
    clientdatax                = clientdatax
