MARA-CARE_CODE & BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA

[Former Member]

Hey Team ABAP,

there are some new field in MARA for textile stuff.

There are informations like washingcode, thumlingcode, drycleancode, wetcleancode, ironingcode, bleachcode, and 2 custom codes.

Those fields dont exist in Table mara tho.

I found a FM that explains how those fields are stored.

We have those 8 fields (6 standard and 2 custom) which are all char2 Fields which get concatenated and then stored in the field MARA-CARE_CODE.

When i use the according search help and pick for example Value '2', i have just the 2 in the field.

When i now try to post that into SAP using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA i get the error "2 is not a valid value".

That error vanishes when i concatenate a '0' behind it.

So for washing_code 2 it works if i post 20 to the BAPI. When i view it in MM42 after that i can see that it worked like planned.

But when i pick washing code 'E', nothing helps.

I get error message for ' E', for 'E ', 'E0' and '0E'.

right now i am clueless what to do, there does not exist a cenversion Exit for said field and i have to assume same Problem for the other 5 Standard fields as well.

I hope some of you have an idea.

While this thread goes its way i am going to debug the BAPI and see where the error message gets processed and why.

Thanks for reading
