Hi,
I am writing the code to upload the Materials Master. I know of a fe methodology.
1. LSMW.
2. Custom Program.
3. BAPI.
Recording/BDC might be used. But I want to Evaluate the Pros and cons, Because depending upon the material type ( MTART ) the views will be different and I may not be able to record the screens in BDC since it changes based on the Material type. I alos have the requirement for QM View and also the Altrenate UOM Screen.
I tried checking the BAPI but there is none for the MM upload. What reamains is the Custom program again in which I will have to write the BDC only.
The BAPI I tried finsing out are 'BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE' and BAPI_RETAILMATERIAL_CREATE but they do not have enough parameters to put in the data for all the view. Also it uses the CALL TRANSACTION MM01 Internally.
We fianlly decided to write a custom program.
Can any one tell me the best Method for the uplaod of the MM master and also how should I select the views based on the Material type.
Regards,
Deepak.
