BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_PRODUCTHIER

[paul_pendleton]

Does anyone know if there is an update for the BAPI_MATERIAL_GET_PRODUCTHIER BAPI? This bapi returns the text for the product hierarchy in text fields with a length of 20. It truncates the values since it should be 40 in length. I have not found any updates or different bapis that might return the longer full value. If you look in this bapi you can see the FM it calls RV_PRODUKTHIERARCHIE_SHOW returns a table/structure that has the full text value. But then this gets placed into a structure called node_list which has two text fields of the size of 20. I need one that returns the full value any help is appreciated.

Your issue could probabaly be fixed fairly easily if you were to replace the data element which is tied to the TEXT field of BAPIMAT_PRODH structure. Maybe replace PRODH_CTEXT data element with PRODH_BEZ40 data element. Of course you will have to register the object with SAP. I don't really see any problem in doing so since this structure is only really used in this BAPI.
