to change material using BAPI

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to change a material. But end user is not having the authorization to modify using this bapi. because this BAPI is used for both creation and for changing so it is checking creation object Authorization and it is failing.

Kindly suggest me some other BAPI to Change the material to avoid the above problem.

Hi Murugaperumal,

Try using BAPI_MATERIAL_EDIT.......it is only to change an existing material.

FYI

BAPI_MATERIAL_DELETE Flag Material for Deletion

BAPI_MATERIAL_DISPLAY Display Material

BAPI_MATERIAL_EDIT Change Material

You can use BAPI_MATERIAL_EDIT to change the material data.

I have tried with BAPI_MATERIAL EDIT it is executing the screen in foreground. My requirement is to update material in back ground with extension fields. because we are going to update one customize field. Kindly suggest me the solution.

Do u mean, how to differentiate btwn foregrnd and back ground, if so, use SY-BATCH field.

if not, r u getting some difficulty for executing it in back grnd, over fore grnd?

custom field: but, my personal opinion is , its beeter to go with MATERIAL_SAVE_DATA and ask the basis folks, to grant the authorisation to the end user.

thanq
