Bapi_Material_Savedata invoking through webservice, can anyone help me?

[Former Member]

I received error messages bellow:

MG Field MATNR has been transferred inconsistently or is blank

MG MATNR for LTX1 is ""; previously "000000000030000917"

MK Trying to change: 30000917 ____ ____ ____ __________ ____ __ ___ ___

The following parameters are passed:

MATHEAD.MATERIAL = "000000000030000917";

MATHEAD.IND_SECTOR = "C";

MATHEAD.MATL_TYPE = "ZFRT";

MATHEAD.BASIC_VIEW = "X";

MAKT[0].LANGU_ISO = "ZH";

MAKT[0].MATL_DESC = "MATE NAME";

MARA.MATL_GROUP = "0001";

MARA.BASE_UOM_ISO = "KGM";

MARAX.MATL_GROUP = "X";

MARAX.BASE_UOM_ISO = "X";

These parameters are passed testing in an ABAP Report Program which calls the BAPI.

I don't know what's the problem, can anyone help me?

I faced this exact problem today almost 7 years later.

The problem is that the long text structure has a field called TEXT_NAME except that it doesn't show up in the structure for LTX1. I don't know if BAPI_Material_Savedata is the same as the IDOC MatMass_bapi but you have to put the same material number in for the 70 character text_name field as you put in for the MATNR field.

This is true (tested it and it works). In addition to that, you have to add some code in step 5 of the LSMW to match the 18-char MATNR field to the 70-char TEXT_NAME. Changing the MATNR source field to 70-char also won't help as it then can't find the material number in MARA. Here's an example of code for TEXT_NAME field in step 5 of LSMW when using BAPI (BUS1001006 - MATMAS_BAPI03):

TABLES: MARA.
DATA: lv_matnr(18) type c.

if not POTEXTSOURCE-MATNR is initial.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
    EXPORTING
      INPUT = POTEXTSOURCE-MATNR
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT = lv_matnr.

  E1BP_MLTX-TEXT_NAME = lv_matnr.

endif.

Hope that helps
