Creation of material with BAPI

hi SAP folks,
Iam a beginner in ABAP.need some clarifications on BAPI
1. what is BAPI?how is that used for creation of materials.
2. In what way that is different from BDCs.
3. Which is mostly preferred and why?
4. How are BAPIs called from Zprograms.
5. Required complete tutorials on BAPI.
Thanks in advance

Multiple MBEWH records created when creating new material with BAPI

Hi,
I am using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA to create a material.
When Creating a brand new material, the BAPI will create multiple MBEWH records, which is causing to update Previous Period/Year Moving Average price to update in MBEW.
Any suggestion, why the BAPI would create historical data for MBEWH?
Thank you very much.
Oleg.

Creation of material using BAPI in LSMW without using material no.

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement of creating materials using the BAPI in LSMW.
I tried to create a material using the BAPI (Business Object - BUS1001006 , and method - SAVEDATA) which should be created internally, but it is asking the material number to be given externally and my configuration is setup to create the material number internally.
Even I looked into the material type which is associated with the number range and everything looks good.
Is there any solution to create the material by using BAPI in LSMW without passing the material no. externally ?
Appreciate your help.
Kalikonda.

Hi,
it looks like it's not possible to call this BAPI wihtout material number. Here is a quote from BAPI documentation.
When creating material master data, you must transfer the material
number, the material type, and the industry sector to the method. You
must also enter a material description and its language.
Cheers

Probelm in creation of material using BAPI

Hi All,
Is it possible to create a material without passing a material number to the BAPI
(BAPIMATHEAD-MATERIAL)?
I am encountaring a problem that 'Enter the Material Number'.
I dont want to enter material number. The system should generate an internal material number.
How can i solve this issue...
will be rewarded with points....
Thanks in advance
Kishore

Hi,
first you need to check if your materialtype is customized for internal number
and then you can work with an btch-program
or MM17

just for information I am passing Parent materail alone to the BAPI.
can somebody give suggestion.

Creation of Material Master for a material with Material Type NLAG

Hello Sirs,
I have to create a material which will be consumed directly. I would use the
material type NLAG (Non stock material). If I create a material with this material type, will it contain an Accounting view where in I can maintain the price of the
material? If it contains an Accounting view, which type of Price control should be
used (Moving average or Standard)? Further, can we maintain an info record for
a material with material type NLAG?How the price updation happens?
Regards
Yoga

Hi Madhu,
Thanks for your reply. But, I have one more doubt. For non stock materials, we
will specify the cost centre and G/L account at the time of creation of Purchase order. Then, do we have to specify the valuation class at the time of creation of
Material Master since there is no automatic account determination?

Creation of new material with reference to other material

Hi All,
I have requirement where i have to create new selling unit material with reference to the given material.
Now, can any buddy suggest which FM or BADI i have to use to read BOM and ROUTING info of reference material and same to create BOM and ROUTING for new material.
Doing this with BDC after reading data directally from tables is one option, But i am looking for any BADI or Fm which will serve the purpose.
Thanks in Advance,
Rahul

Hi,
... but if you prefer FM, then you can use BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT or BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, depending if you are using Retail or not. BDC is usually not possible for all views - which you would need for complete creation.
Regards,
Christian

Serial Number creation for a material with stock type

Hi,
I am not able to create the serial number for a material which should have valuation type, plant and storage location using the function module ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE_SINGLE.
There is no export or changing parametre for this function module for Valuation type(EQBS-LBBSA),
Plant(EQBS-B_WERK) and
Storage Location(EQBS-B_LAGER)
Can any one suggest me the BAPI or function module to create a serial number for a material with valudation type, plant and storage location rather tan going for BDC to transaction code IQ01.
(Note: We can create the serial number with valuation type manually using the transaction code "IQ01" for agiven material.)
For suitable answers would be rewarded.
Regards
Badari

I have the solution below.
- Don't change Serial no. profile
- Goods issue all stock with mvt 201 or 261 into temporary cost object and note your text.
- Change Serial no. profile in material master
- Goods receipt all stock (You may ref. material doc.) and you need to input serial number for all materials.
Hope this solution can help you.

Avoid substitute material.., while creating sales order with BAPI?

Hi experts.
I use BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA1 function module to create a sales order.
Material A has a substitute material B with substitute reason 0005.
So if I use material A when creating sales order with above BAPI function, the order is created with material B.
I don't want to substitute the material automatically. I want to create the sales order with material A.
What should I do? Help me please.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi bvrn Reddy,
I know, your message is almost two years old, but, did you find a solution? I'm facing the same problem. The material A has B as substitute, but in va01 a popup appears (its customizing inside the substitution reason, strategy = A). Of course, we have no popup inside the bapi, but there must be a way to decide which material the bapi should use. At the moment I only get the substitute, never the old mat (even there is something in stock).
Maybe you've got a helpful hint for me, thanks!

Creating a material with just the basic view using BAPI

Hi
   I intend to create a new material with just the basic view using BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA -
To do this - I believe I have to fill in the structure HEADDATA data - ( mandatory ) with the required values - I fill values for fields IND_SECTOR, MATL_TYPE & basic view ( check this field ) and leave the MATERIAL field as blank (assuming internal numbering ) and then fill values of the CLIENTDATA structure with values for the basic data view.
Is this correct ? Will my material number created be returned in the RETURN structure - how do I look for the material number exclusively in my RETURN structure ?

Automatic creation of Material Master at the time raising the PO !!!

Hello All,
I am stuck in a scenario of our client which should be implemented (or mapped) in SAP.
Scenario: At the time of creating the PO (in there legacy system -in house developed) they can choose the items from the existing master data or/and they can also add a new item (which is not present in the master data records at the time of creating the PO).
Now as soon as the system realise that a new item is inserted into the PO, it will create that item record automatically in the backend (database) and the master data will be present from there on.
The items they are dealing with are all fashion accessories and they generate order on the following basis:
1. Demand of particular item in market.
2. List of items provided by the vendor.
3. Based on the requirement in there outlets.
So for them its very difficult to fix there master data records, as it can be changed daily or monthly as per the market conditions. At the same time every time they order, its almost around 100 different items (some time 80 of them are new) in a single PO so they cannot create 80 records manually each time.
These items are not consumable material so obviously they are maintaining the stock for them. They are also not going to use IS Retail.
I am not at all sure how can we map this particular practice in SAP, it would be really appreciated if any one could help me on this problem.
Please let me know if you need any other details from my side.

Hi,
As you have two different systems one in house developed and another SAP, and the PO creation part starts from Legasy system which creats the PO in SAP, you can do some development as per below
1: While Passing the details from legasy to SAP, use two columns in legasy one will contain the Material Code of ECC (for laready exist material ) and another for deescription of material.
2: In case material is new for which there is no material master in ECC pass only description from legasy systems.
3:While getting triggred from Legasy to ECC to create the PO, first check whehter all the material code exists or not in ECC.
4:If some material are not created (only description present) for those material first create the Material Code using BAPI 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'.
5: Aftre creation of Material code create the PO using BAPI ' BAPI_PO_CREATE1'.
6:For the new created material , trnasfre the master record from ECC to Legasy systemso that next time user can see that material in your legasy system.

Zafar

Material Determination BAPI

Hi ,
Can any one let me know what is the BAPI used for
Functional module =SD_Material_Determinations.
BAPI for Material Determination?

Hi!
I don't know the details of article replacements, but in general: that's the way it should work.
If there is no stock or some other article blocks (no sales period, X-chain status...), then the replacement article should come into the documents.
Also a creation by BAPI is no exception from business point of view - it has to follow the same rules as an online creation. OK - your customer requirement is currently different.
But if the creation should be with article A, then the replacement customizing (also for online creation) has to be adjusted.
By the way, isn't BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 up to date?

Christian
