Hi all,

I am working on LSMW by BAPI method. i want to update the Material Type of a given material.So, I have gone to MM01 then I copy that material but in BAPI I do not find any structure related to Refrence Material No. Field. Kindly tell me the structure regarding this Refrence Material No. field.

Hi,

May i know which BAPI you are using. If you are using the BUS Object BUS1001006 and method SAVEDATA, then it has the structure BAPI_MARA and the field for reference material is PL_REF_MAT.

I doupt that you can change the material type, as it cannot be changed in the standard transaction MM02, and not in the MM17 mass maintenance transaction (which uses BAPI method).

A material type is usally changed with an extra transaction: MMAM as it has to perform a couple extra checks that are not needed in a standard maintenance.
