BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA MATERIALLONGTEXT

Question

hi gurus i have a little problem i need to save a text in the sales text field from mm02 sales text
i use the bapi BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA   and i fill the table MATERIALLONGTEXT like this
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input         = matnr
   IMPORTING
     OUTPUT        =  matnr .
  gt_longtxt-APPLOBJECT = 'MATERIAL'.
  gt_longtxt-TEXT_NAME = matnr.
  gt_longtxt-TEXT_ID = 'GRUN'.
  gt_longtxt-LANGU = 'S'.
  gt_longtxt-FORMAT_COL = '/'.
  gt_longtxt-TEXT_LINE = TEXT_COMP.
  append gt_longtxt.
and all is fine when i run the bapi the register is saved with all the data but my problem is that my (gt_longtxt-TEXT_LINE = TEXT_COMP.) is saved in other field called basic data text and i need the text to be saved in sales text, any idea?

Answer 1

Did you read the documentation for the table MATERIALLONGTEXT. It is clearly stated:
The material number is transferred first. If it has fewer than 18 characters, the remaining characters must be filled with blanks.
E.g., for material 001000000031, sale org 0684, distr. channel 00 the input should be something like this:
APPLOBJECT  = MVKE
TEXT_NAME = 001000000031      068400
TEXT_ID = 0001
LANGU = EN
TEXT_LINE = Test for SDN
Similarly for 1234BXA, SO 0684 & Distr. Channel 00 the input should be:
APPLOBJECT  = MVKE
TEXT_NAME = 1234BXA           068400
TEXT_ID = 0001
LANGU = EN
TEXT_LINE = Test for SDN
Hope it helps.
