VD51 - Customer-material info record creation is a standard tcode.

The mass loading of similar data, better it is thru BDC

Hi!

We have about 10 000 customer material record for this group of customer. And they are changed frequently. It is hard to support 5 set of data even using mass load.

Hellow!

We had to develop ABAP report to copy CM dada from one customer to another.

Hi Andrey,

An idea -

Can you create a "customer group" e.g. G1 & have customers A,B,C in G1

Have Material and Customer group in VD51

For all the materials in that group, shall take the same field "Customer material"

(something like customer hierarchy, or customer group i.e. 1 level higher than customer level)

If it NOT a lot of cust-material info records, maybe you would want to do it manually (many c-m info records); if a solution is not readyly available.

Create customer-material information records in t.code VD51. Since the customer-material numbers are same, just give a gap in the front of customer-material field for the second customer and two gaps for third customer and so on. Otherwise the system will not allow to maintain the same customer-material number. You can also add the description in the respective field.

Regards,
