Error in BDC when executed in back ground

Question

Hi All,
We are working on a BDC interface for Material Master Basic Data Add or Change using SAP 4.7. The interface is working fine with CALL TRANSACTION (N,A screen modes), BDC foreground and Display error modes.
When the same session is executed in background mode it is not getting processed.
The error is caused while calling screen 2031 which uses a  control. The diagnosis we received is given below
Control Framework: Fatal error - GUI cannot be reached
Message no. DC006
Diagnosis
When the Control Framework is started, the system checks whether the installed GUI supports frontend components such as controls. This check failed; the causes may be as follows:
1.) The program is running in the background
2.) A transaction was called using CALL TRANSACTION ... STARTING IN BACKGROUND TASK.
Procedure
Programs that run in the background cannot address controls on the frontend. In this case, the application must either include a fallback that does not depend on the user interface, or the program or transaction must detect for itself that is running in the background and terminate itself.
Is there any alternate method available for running the session in background with the controls?
Please help us in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kathirvel!
In description of error: 'In this case, the application must either include a fallback that does not depend on the user interface, or the program or transaction must detect for itself that is running in the background and terminate itself.'
Obviously in material master only second option was implemented - termination.
Alternative: using IDOCs or BAPIs like BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA, BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.
