Create/Update/Delete Material Master and InfoRecord

[Former Member]

What would be the best way to accomplish this ? BAPIS or BDC or anything else ? Can anyone who has done this before share their thoughts ?

I need to build an interface program that will read a file and automatically create/update/delete material master and inforecord (based on the indicator field).

The input file format is flexible.

What wolud be the best and least painful way to go ?

Hi,

or use interfaces:

1) RMDATIND (material master data )

2) RM06IBI0 (info record)

Thank You all for your responses.

How do you change/update Inforecord ? Is it possible using the interface programs Andreas mentioned ? If so, how ? Where to get the documentation on these interface programs ?

Hi,

It depends mainly on your requirement. Try to use BAPI's where ever possible because they are no pain taking. Please go through this thread below which will be helpful i think

BAPI method is best when compared to BDC method.

Again it all depends on the requirement you are dealing with. If the screen flow(several views of material) of all the materials are same then you can go for BAPI method. If the views are dependant on material type then BDC is suggested.

For deletion BAPI is easy to go.

You use this method to create new material master data or to change existing material master data.
