Problem while updating custom field By using MM11/MM12

[Former Member]

We have few custom fields on Basic data2 tab of material master.and all custom field are at material master level so in MARA table by using append structure. One of the custom field name is ER 2 char.When I create material by using MM01 I am able to update the ER field.No problem in MM01.

But when I schedule the creation of material by using MM11 transaction code, SAP doesnot keep the ER data in the field.I checked the PCDPOS table , the table have proper value for ER field.But it is not reflecting on the screen.Then I debugg the program. I found that Table T130M has VERAR = 'PL' for TCODE = MM11 and MM12. If I took off the PL value from the T130M table for MM11 and MM12 , MM11 keeps the ER Value. I am unable to find the meaning of PL.I dont want to change the VERAR value because it might impact.

Please let me know how can I update ER(Custom value) by using MM11.

We have not used any user exit to inser custom fields on the material master. In Customization SAP gives functionality to include new screen in Material master views. We have used that functionality.

Hi

Perhaps MM11/12 can't update your custom field because you have use a data element where the flag Document change isn't setted.
