Material Master Replication

[arnold_fritz]

Hi,

I created a new field in the material master (flag that this master should be replicated into SRM). With a new transaction the user can update this flag. But there I must make a direct update to the table mara the system don't create change pointers for the replication.

Does anybody know what I can do?

Thanks and best regards

Hi Arnold

I have a naive question...you may considered this ...but..

Are you using this field as filter to transfer material master to SRM ?

Why not use some unused field e.g. External Material Group ?

Arnold,

As always there are many way's to achive this.

1) Change another field on the material master that you are not using.

2) Include your ZZ field (New field) against the structure BAPI_TE_MARA and MARA and save changes using function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA with table fields EXTENSIONIN & EXTENSIONINX rather than a direct update.

Both should trigger change pointers, but the second is the more acceptable way as you should never have a direct update (this could invalidates your sap support for that module i.e. MM).

Cheers
