Set field value to initial in Idoc

[Former Member]

I had to transfer material master via message type MATMAS from one R/3-system to an other and change some field values via SALE - "Converting Data between Sender and Receiver". How can I set some field values (DISKZ, LMINB, LGPBE, ...) to the initial value (Blank) ? I've tried it with the constant "/", but NoData means, that the data in the target system will not be overwritten. But I have to overwrite it with blank (or initial value).

Hi,

I think that is not allowed in standard code.

This is the standard MATMAS handing code for LGPBE in the target system, with function module IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01.

if i_d-LGPBE = c_nodata.

clear i_d-LGPBE.

else.

MARD-LGPBE = i_d-LGPBE.

if MARD-LGPBE is initial.

i_m-fname = 'MARD-LGPBE'.

append i_m to t_m.

endif.

endif.

To achieve this, you can use the user exit EXIT_SAPLMV02_002 in the Enhancement project MGV00001 (transaction SMOD).

Alternately, you can also implement the BAdi BADI_MATMAS_ALE_IN for this.

Hope this helps,

Hi Bhanu,

thank you for your help. I've found an other way without coding. In the data conversation I set a constant value "#" to this field. It set the receiver filed to it's initialize value.

Dear Bernhard,

thank you for that hint. Even your post is quite old your solution helped me very much.

With best regards...
