Hi dear,

welcome on board!

If you want an answer immediately I think you have to post your question in a more appropriate forum...

I am succesfully using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to copy materials. I think you need to populate the table parameter MATERIALDESCRPTION.

Here is what I am passing in MATERIALDESCRIPTION:

it_materialdesc-langu = 'E'.

it_materialdesc-langu_iso = 'EN'.

it_materialdesc-matl_desc = '"""S"" BAFFLE".
