Hello,

Check the documentation of the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. There is a parameter in the FM - EXTENSIONIN where in new fields added to the table can be used to be updated.

The documentation of that parameters tells you how this can be achieved.

Create 2 structures of the type BAPI_TE_MARA and BAPI_TE_MARAX

Now assign the field structure of the workarea of type BAPIPAREX. Assume gs_extensionin is of type BAPIPAREX and gs_bapi_te_mara is of type BAPI_TE_MARA (this should have the fields that have been added in the table)

gs_extensionin-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MARA'.
gs_extensionin-valuepart+0(18) = gs_bapi_te_mara-matnr.
gs_extensionin-valuepart+18(length of the new field) = ga_bapi_te_mara-<new field added in the structure>.
append gs_extensionin to gt_extensionin.

gs_extensioninx-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MARAX'.
gs_extensioninx-valuepart+0(18) = gs_bapi_te_mara-matnr.
gs_extensioninx-valuepart+18(1) = 'X'..
append gs_extensioninx to gt_extensioninx.

Now pass these tables gt_extensionin and gt_extensionx to the parameters extensionin and extensioninx of the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

Also try searching SDN using Extending BAPI's

Hope this will help in solving your query.
