CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN

Hi,
I am trying to change quantity of a existing Material BOM item using CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN function module. I am passing Material, Plant, BOM Usage, Valid from (same as in exisiting BOM), FL_COMMIT_AND_WAIT = X, FL_DEFAULT_VALUES = X and populating the following field in T_STPO table ITEM_CATEG, ITEM_NO, COMPONENT, COMP_QTY, COMP_UNIT, BOM_NO, ITEM_NODE, ITEM_COUNT fields. SAP is not returning any errors instead it's creating a new line item but requirement is to change the line item.
Thanks in advance.

Balaji Viswanath.

Hi,
try to use the Function Module :
CSAP_MAT_BOM_ITEM_SELECT
I hope it is helpful,

  • Error in Creating a BOM / CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN

    hi,
    i need to create multiple bom alternatives in my development. i try using CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for this purpose.
    even after i give all the inputs and flags necessary for creating a new bom, i am getting an error stating that bom already exist for....when i go and check MAST table, for the same material, plant and bom usage... no such alternative exist.
    i am unable to proceed further. can anyone help me in this regard? thanks in advance.

    friend... you are right.
    CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN is used to create only one alternative bom. but this can be any number from 01 to 99. if any alternative bom exist for the same combination of material, plant and bom usage... then you cannot create any more alternative bom for the above mentioned combination. this is because... this function module checks MAST table before proceeding with creation. while checking MAST, it considers only material, plant and bom usage. alternative bom is left out here. but the real fact is... alternative bom should be also considered for uniqueness of bom while checking MAST. all these issues are only during bom creation, but the same function module works perfect during bom maintenance.
    CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE is also used to create only one alternative bom. but this can be only one number - 01 (default). but, you cannot maintain a bom using this function module. you need to use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for bom maintenance.
    to create any number of alternative bom for a material, plant and bom usage combination... you need to use the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE. but... you cannot maintain any bom or create object dependencies for line items using this function module.
    summary:
    to create a bom.. use BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE
    to read a bom.. use CSAP_MAT_BOM_READ
    to maintain a bom.. use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN.
    to create object dependency.. use CSAP_MAT_BOM_OPEN , CSAP_BOM_ITEM_MAINTAIN , CSAP_MAT_BOM_CLOSE.

  • "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" can read material which is created without commit?

    hi:
      i want to create a material first with "BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA",then i want to add this material as a component
      to a existing BOM with "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN".
      1 I create the material using "BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA" without "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT".
      2 I use "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" to add the material to a existing BOM.
      Before this test,i think "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" will raise an exception:
      "The material XXX does not exist or is not activated"
      But the result is:Material is created successfully and the BOM is added a component with a commit implicitly.
      How can "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" read the material which is not committed to the DB?
      BTW:Even if "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" raise a exception,i can use "BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT" to rollback both the
      created material and the changed BOM.
      I am confused!!

  • BOM Update using a function module - 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'

    Hi,
    I have problem in updating the item status for a BOM using a function module - 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'.
    My goal is reset the Checkbox for 'Indicator: item relevant to production'. When i pass the value ' '[Space] to the structure field 'T_STPO-REL_PROD' it doen't work.
    Do let me know if you come across such problem & what needs to passed as input to reste the checkbox in the BOM.
    Thanks & Regards,

    PLM wants to manipulate the Indicators u2013 u201CBulk Materialu201D & u201CCost Relevancyu201D in BOM.
    Note: The 2 indicators [u201CBulk Materialu201D & u201CCost Relevancyu201D] are interlinked with each other for a business functionlity given by SAP. So, if we try to set both indicators we get the below SAP standard error.

  • IDoc with error when trying to update two materials with FM: CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN.

    Hi
    In my current project I am facing the below issue.
    In client MDM team is creating the master data. The BOM master data also creating through MDM only. The function module used is  CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN. When user trying to update the two extra BOM line items getting an error " Error while saving the BOM."
    In SLG1 transaction we observed that the IDOC is trying to change the header level data. After analyzing  I got some conclusion that
    while BOM creation header level material and all components are created with change number reference. When the user trying to update two extra line items with new change number system giving error msg as idoc trying to change header level data. As my knowledge with  FM:CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN no changes possible for header. I came to conclusion as header is updated with a change number while creation and when we changing second time with new change number, system not able to replace the old change number with new change number.
    To correct this IDOC what steps i can perform? Is it possible to reprocess this IDOC by changing any field values like MSGFN.
    Please suggest what solution we can provide to reprocess this IDOC.
    Regards
    Kesava

    Hi Rupesh
    Thanks for the replay.
    Here the user created the BOM with the same FM:CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN  but he created with change number refernce. This change number is updated in header. Later he wants to add some extra components to this BOM with the same FM:CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN and he entered new change number second time to do the change. Then system giving an error status for this IDOC.Then if we check in SLG1 the error message is we are trying to change header fields which is not possible " The BOM header can only be displayed, Your entries were ingored". How can we reprocess this IDOC.
    Regards

  • How to use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for deleting / changing sub-items?

    I'm trying to use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN for BOM create / change / delete.
    Issue: This Function module is not working when I'm trying to delete / change sub-items of a BOM. I'm getting update termination (ABAP/4 processor: SAPSQL_ARRAY_INSERT_DUPREC) during BOM post.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    (1) BOM creation part is working fine
    (2) BOM item (without any sub-item change) change / delete is also working

    hi
    The following parameter are important parameter and mandatory
    Matnr ;  Enter the material Number
    BOM_USAGE : Ther many BOM available that is sales BOM and Production BOM etc  here you need to mention usage of BOM that is for sales or production
    I_STKO : Enter the BOM Header information  . Note : Ask your Functional consultand
    Apart form this parameter, all are optional so do worry

    Dear Friends,
    I am working on 3.0F Version.I have a requirement where when there is an update in the BOM from the 3rd party system, that changed field or quantity should be updated in the BOM.
    I tried using CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN and when I enter the material Number,Plant and BOM Usage...the FM goes to a Short Dump....
    '' ABAP/4 runtime error   CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_LENG
    The call to the function module "CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN" is incorrect:
    In the function module interface, you can specify only
    fields of a specific type and length under "T_STPO".
    Although the currently specified field

    But I've tried to use the same Function Module in ECC 5.0 and it works perfectly fine and I am able to update the records.
    Did anybody face a similar problem with 3.0 Version ??How to rectify this ??
    Is there any other alternative or a solution for my problem ??
    Please share your thoughts.

    HI,
    I know it's a old subject but i just find the solution so to update long text feel the field

    with the below value:
    * object_id = 0: Stücklistentext (STZU)  (-> CS_DI_BOM_UPDATE)

  • Issues while processing the BOMs using fm ''CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'

    Hi Group,
    we are facing issues while processing the BOMs using the basic type(Z-idoc type) for standard type BOMMAT04.
    thing is that the segment 'E1STPOM' is defined to contain 1 to 99999 records in it.
    when an Idoc is run(say with 150/200 segments of 'E1STPOM'), there was a standard error with error message id PIC01(number : 004) when the Idoc is processed with the Standard function module 'CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN'.
    the error says 'Error reading material FING_005 . Exception: 0' and Check whether the material number is blocked. but when checked, the Material seems not blocked.
    kindly advise how to overcome this error and proceed further.
    Regards,

  • CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE\CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN

    SAPiens,
    We are using the above mentioned RFMs to pass material bill of materials data in to SAP from an external system. These RFMs are not providing meaningful errors upon data failure. For example, if we pass a Change Order number which is not existing in SAP, these RFMs simply says, Error, thats all. In our scenario, we have choosen CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN since we have to send delta BOM changes (only changes, not the complete BOM).
    Please suggest is there any way to derive meaningful error log by using any other function module in conjunction with CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN. OR is there any other RFM which carries only BOM changes and  at the same time give some meaningful errors?
    Thanks so much in Advance

    Try BAPI mentioned in attached link. There is a sample code too.

  • CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN  Alternative ?

    Hi Friends ,
    I would like to know if there is a BAPI i can use instead of CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN. I want to try using a BAPI because this function module is causing change in  the ECM number of the other vairant BOMS which were not intended to be changed .
    Thank you ,

    Hi Hari,
    check in SE37 by doing a F4 on BOMUPD* u will a couple of direct update FM's. But i think they will all update the ECM number.

  • CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN - strange errors (+)

    Hello,
    In my program, I use CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN function module to edit BOMs. In most cases, it works correctly, but sometimes, when large amount of data is processed, it returns error message, which says that "There're no active nametabs for CI_STPO". When I restart program (with the same data), it works correctly.

    Hey,
    Check the FM call you have made in the program. Import Parameter: FL_COMMIT_AND_WAIT = 'X'. check whether you've passed this flag.
