Using: BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

[Former Member]

Hi,

i try to use the above FM like this:

REPORT ZGRO_TEST.

*

DATA: HEADDATA LIKE BAPIMATHEAD.

*

DATA: RETURN LIKE BAPIRET2.

*

DATA: BEGIN OF RETURNM OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE BAPIRET2.

DATA: END OF RETURNM.

*

DATA: BEGIN OF LTEXT OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE BAPI_MLTX.

DATA: END OF LTEXT.

*

DATA: MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR VALUE '000000000000000592'.

*

START-OF-SELECTION.

*

HEADDATA-MATERIAL = MATNR.

*

LTEXT-APPLOBJECT = 'MATERIAL'.

LTEXT-TEXT_NAME = MATNR.

LTEXT-TEXT_ID = 'PRUE'.

LTEXT-LANGU = SY-LANGU.

LTEXT-FORMAT_COL = '*'.

LTEXT-TEXT_LINE = 'first Inspection Text'.

APPEND LTEXT.

LTEXT-TEXT_LINE = 'second Inspection Text'.

APPEND LTEXT.

LTEXT-TEXT_LINE = 'third Inspection Text'.

APPEND LTEXT.

*

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'

EXPORTING

HEADDATA = HEADDATA

IMPORTING

RETURN = RETURN

TABLES

MATERIALLONGTEXT = LTEXT

RETURNMESSAGES = RETURNM.

*

BREAK-POINT.

*

END-OF-SELECTION.

It works (i hope) OK.

But i get some return like this:

<b>RETURN</b>

The material 592 has been created or extended

<b>RETURNM with 4 entries</b>

Trying to create: 592 ____ ____ ____ __________ ____ __ ___ ___

The material cannot be maintained since no maintainable data transferred

Trying to change: 592 ____ ____ ____ __________ ____ __ ___ ___

Material 592 changed

Question:

Can i give the FM any Information for using it

in UPDATE-Mode or is my using in this case correct??

thanks for help

Hi

If you need to create a new text you can use fm SAVE_TEXT.

I believe that BAPI can't insert only a text but at least one field should be changed: it seems the BAPI has tried to open the material for new (no) plant.

Hello Dieter

The documentation of the parameter MATERIALLONGTEXT says:

Note                                                                                
Different long texts (basic data texts, purchase order texts, internal  
    comments, sales texts, material memos) can be created for a material.   
    This requires the fields APPLOBJECT, TEXT_NAME, TEXT_ID, and LANGU or   
    LANGU_ISO in table parameter MATERIALLONGTEXT to contain entries.       
    Depending on the content of field TEXT_ID, the field TEXT_NAME must have
    the following structure:                                                                                
The material number is transferred first. If it has fewer than 18       
    characters, the remaining characters must be filled with blanks. If it  
    is a material memo (LTXT), the plant key must also be transferred from  
    character 19 onwards; in the case of a sales text (0001), this must be  
    the sales organization and distribution channel. The combinations       
    allowed for the four different fields are indicated in the following table:

Thus, I guess the problem might be the leading '0'. You should try to write the material number just as '592'.
