Hi Venu,

Thanks..

I had found this BAPI by myself.

can you please let me know if there is any BAPI which i can use for MASS update of articles instead of calling the above BAPI in a Loop.

Hello Sharadha,

This BAPI works with one article across multiple sites. I believe transaction MASS also uses this BAPI.

Hi Venu,

I would like to create an article thru this BAPI, BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT. As part of Import parameter, in Header data there is a field called Material, here what should I give to create a new article. I have only article type, Marchandise category and article category. Please suggest me how can I create a new carticle thru this input.

[bjoern_panter]

external article numbers: no problem

internal number: use BAPI_MATERIAL_GETINTNUMBERRET to get a free next article number

[bjoern_panter]

and the most important step,

Loop over your articles to be created.

call the BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT

and do a BAPI_TRANSACTION COMMIT

ENDLOOP

Important!!!!! Do a commit work after every article Bapi Call !!!

If you will not follow this rule, you will have a data inconsistency in classification data
