Problem copying/extending materials (MM01) using BDC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am developing a program that will be used to copy/extend material from one plant to another plant by using BDC. When i did it manually in MM01, i selected 8 views (Purchasing, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, General Plant Data/Storage 1, General Plant Data/Storage 2, Accounting 1 and Accounting 2) and marked the "Create views selected" checkbox. Then, the system prompted me for the plant and storage location information (copy from & copy to). After that, the Purchasing view appears and i would just need to click the "SAVE" button and the new material was created.

When i ran the BDC program (by selecting the "Call Transaction - Show all screens" option), i found that i had to run it four times to have the material created. Basically, i found that it went through four views which were purchasing, MRP, General Plant Data / Storage and Accouting view.

I was wondering why it didn't create the selected views for me although i had recorded the "Mark the 'create views selected' option" in the BDC?

Thanks much in advance.

Why choose BDC for MM01 ?

You've the BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA' at your service. Easy to use & simple to maintain.

Unless you give me specifics i am not convinced about the BDC approach.
