BAPI to copy a material to other plant

[Former Member]

Hi Forum,

I need to copy a material from the plant(werks) 2000 to the plant 2300, but i need to use the same material number, wich BAPI can copy this material?

Thanks in advance,

Hi John,

Use the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, but pass the material number in the HEADDATA as well as providing the new PLANTDATA.

If you supply the material number, it will extend the material, rather than creating a new one.

You should use the function module MATERIAL_MAINTAIN_DARK instead of the BAPI it is well documented (in direct system documentation) and can do everything MM01/MM02 can.
