Error when calling BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm calling BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA through a RFC. I use SAP PI to call a function module and the function module calls the BAPI like this:

call function 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
      exporting
        headdata             = ls_headdata
        clientdata           = ls_clientdata
        clientdatax          = ls_clientdatax
        plantdata            = ls_plantdata
        plantdatax           = ls_plantdatax
        salesdata            = ls_salesdata
        salesdatax           = ls_salesdatax
        warehousenumberdata  = ls_warehousenumberdata
        warehousenumberdatax = ls_warehousenumberdatax
      tables
        materialdescription  = lt_materialdescription
        unitsofmeasure       = lt_unitsofmeasure
        unitsofmeasurex      = lt_unitsofmeasurex
        internationalartnos  = lt_internationalartnos
        taxclassifications   = lt_taxclassifications
        returnmessages       = lt_return2.

The BAPI stops processing on the line:

UPDATE MARU FROM TABLE MARU_UPD

in function MARA_ARRAY_UPDATE.

I receive the following error message in PI Communication Channel Monitoring: Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception while calling ZSD_PEPE_CAT_INBOUND in remote system (RfcClient[CC_PepeSAPSDIn]):com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: Data type MARU was found in a newer version than required.: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception while calling ZSD_PEPE_CAT_INBOUND in remote system (RfcClient[CC_PepeSAPSDIn]):com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: Data type MARU was found in a newer version than required.

ST22 tells me this:

Runtime Error TYPELOAD_NEW_VERSION Occurred on 11.03.2009 at 13:08:11 Data type "MARU" was found in a newer version than required. What happened? Runtime error The current ABAP program, "SAPLMG21", had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed at runtime. Information on where terminated The termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLMG21" in "MARA_ARRAY_UPDATE". The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ". The termination occurred in line 44 of the source code of the (Include) program "LMG21U02" of the source code of program "LMG21U02" (when calling the editor 440).

Any idea what's wrong with the data type MARU?

Thanks in advance!!

go to SE14 and adjust and activate the table MARA & view MARU ..

Navneet,

You are right. Activation did the trick. Thanks!

Im assuming ZSD_PEPE_CAT_INBOUND is the function module which you are calling in PI and I suspect this function module is now having sytax errors because the tables and structures used inside it has changed now.

You need to modify this FM to work with the new fields added, then reimport the FM to PI and then adjust your data structures to fill the newly addded field (if they have a source data) and it should work.

And if you are going to have data for the newly added fields in MARA , the present call for BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA will not work .Some more coding will be required to add the extension parameters of that BAPI (little tricky but so many examples in forum ) .All the customer added fields can only be populated using there extension parameters.

Just found out that a colleague added some append fields to the mara structure. This seems to be the cause of the problem. We still don't know how to solve the problem though....
