BAPI for creating more than one material...

[Former Member]

hello friends,

i have a doubt... i want to know is there any BAPI through which i can create more that one material...

i know we can use BAPI_MATERAIL_SAVEDATA ...but by this we can only create one material..what if i wanna create more than one material....

i dont wanna build custom RFC to use for this(means by using BDC recordind inside rfc enabled function module)

one more question can we create more materail using ALE,IDOC ......

Hi

u can create the multiple materials with the BAPI_MATERAIL_SAVEDATA

check this BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE

check this also

*---tables used

tables:bapimathead,

bapi_makt,

bapi_mara,

bapi_marax.

*--declaration for internal table

data:begin of itab occurs 0,

MATERIAL type BAPIMATHEAD-MATERIAL,

IND_SECTOR(20),

MATL_TYPE type bapimathead-MATL_TYPE,

MATL_GROUP type bapi_mara-MATL_GROUP,

LANGU TYPE BAPI_MAKT-LANGU,

MATL_DESC TYPE BAPI_MAKT-MATL_DESC,

end of itab,

it_return like BAPIRET2,

IT_BAPI LIKE BAPI_MAKT OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

*---selection screen

parameters:p_file TYPE IBIPPARMS-PATH obligatory.

*---f4 help for the file from PC

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

perform get_f4help.

call this function BAPI_MATERAIL_SAVEDATA inside the loop. and create. the other methods also triggers/created one materail at a time.

i dont want to use report ...

i am accessing thses BAPIS from non-SAP background from a middleware...

so i just need to use standard BAPI for craeting more than one material at a time.

and second is can i do it with IDOCS?

hi abhijeet

if u see any bapi at the time of testing u can create only one record

so in program only you have to write the logic to get more

in similar way in NON-SAP they have to write the logic to get more

i think it will work with idocs too
