Uploading Basic Data Longtext into Material Master

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

While creating material master i need to upload Basic Data Long text into material master.

For this iam using a BDC.How we can get this long text into sap systen and how we will update in material master.

See the Function modules containing TEXT in the name, particularly in function group STXD. Essentially, you will construct an internal table in the proper format (TLINE) in your program for each material, along a structure of type THEAD, and call function module SAVE_TEXT, if it is a new material. If updating, one does read_text, modifies the text obtained, deletes the existing text and the does SAVE_TEXT using the modified data in the internal table, as I recall. I would suggest doing the text processing after you have successful update/create of the material.

Not sure why you are using the BDC approach to upload MM data

You should use the BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'. Anyways back to your question on how to maintain Basic Data Longtext into MM check this thread:

Hi,

you can use the below function module instead of Save_text..

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

in the above function module 

    headdata-material = matnr.

    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
      EXPORTING
        headdata             = headdata   "contains materail number
      IMPORTING
        return               = return
      TABLES
        MATERIALLONGTEXT = t_longtext   "pass long text here
        returnmessages       = returnmessages.
