Standard Interface for BOM & Material Data

[Former Member]

Hi....

I need a standard function module AND Idoc for transfering the following data.

If there is any standard available for these interface requirement, please share the same.

We would like to consider the standard functionality in IDOC, File transfer and any interface technology available SAP.

BOM Data - Both Inbound & Outbound

Material Data - Outbound

Guru

You can use BAPIs via RFC

BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for materials

and FM for BOM

CSAP_MAT_BOM_CREATE

CSAP_MAT_BOM_DELETE

CSAP_MAT_BOM_MAINTAIN

Hi Simone,

For both Material & BOM I also need the Outbound interface.

In fact for Material I need only the Outbound interface.

I am able to find more options for Inbound, but not at least one for outbound.

Regards,

Guru

Sorry, i forgot the outbound question.

you can use Idocs

For BOM (which use depends on your BOM type, i suspect material bom)

MASTER_IDOC_CREATE_BOMDOC

MASTER_IDOC_CREATE_BOMMAT

MASTER_IDOC_CREATE_BOMMAT_PLUS

MASTER_IDOC_CREATE_BOMORD

For Material

SFA_MASTERIDOC_CREATE_MATERIAL

Hi,

You don't need to create new ABAP programs because the inbound/outbound interface already exists .

It's a standard ALE scenario and the ALE Messages that you need to configure are MATMAS BOMMAT.

Documentation specific to your issue can be found here:

Some documents are a a little bit old, but they are very useful.

Thanks for sharing the possibilities...

I hope it will help to design the solution for the requirement.
