Hi Sanjana,

U can use LSMW for this.

Go with Idoc method in that

Message Type: MATMAS_BAPI

Basic Type: MATMAS_BAPI01.

Go to lsmw and c the segments and all the stuff. If the material exists it will extend to other plant if it already exists at that plant then it will change the data.

Basically you can use the segments......

E1BPMATHEAD Header Segment with Control Information

E1BP_MARA Material Data at Client Level

E1BP_MARAX Checkbox Structure for BAPI_MARA

E1BP_MARC Material Data at Plant Level

If you need further details lemme know.
