Update Z-field in MARA (retail)

[jos_sarmento]

Hi,

I need to update the value of a Z-field in MARA while using MM41/MM42.

The field shouldn't be available on screen but needs to be updated while/after saving.

I have found a BADI: BADI_ARTICLE_REF_RT. However this BADI seems to update only variant articles in MARA and not generic articles.

Thanks in advance

have you check if the BTE suits your requirement?

Then please refer the below link,

This is to add a custom field on screen but we can update the corresponding table using the custom program.

I added custom field in MM01 using similar steps but we are not using MM41.

If nothing works, then implicit enhancement is the only option. Find a right place to add custom code to update MARA table.

Thanks for the help, went for the enhancement solution.

Program: LMGINU08

Enhancement point: MATERIAL_POST_OTHER_DATA_02

Debug MM41/MM42 and set breakpoint at method CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_INSTANCE, statements like 'GET BADI', 'CALL BADI', 'CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION' to find suitable place to add the custom code.

Hi Thilakan T,

That's how I found the BADI_ARTICLE_REF_RT, but I can't find any similar that updates also the generic material.

Thanks
