Migrating Material Data Using

Methods and BAPI

In the previous part, we discussed how we can transfer data to SAP using
BAPI.

In this part we will see the implementation part step by step using BAPI.

In this part we will file_open_dialog and GUI_UPLOAD method of

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

We will migrate Material Master data through BAPI.

Suppose, I have this above material data and I want to transfer it to my SAP
and store it in the database using BAPI.

Solution :-
Step 1 :- Create a executable program in ABAP Editor ( SE38 ).

 Step 2 :- Create a type for the above file and a corresponding internal table
and work area for the file.

Step 4 :- In Start Of Selection we can use FILE_OPWN_DIALOG method of

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to navigate to local system and select the file.

 Step 5 :- In Start Of Selection, we will use GUI_UPLOAD method of
CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to upload data into our SAP system.

Now, Our data from our local file is stored into LT_MATERIAL internal table. So,
we will pass our each record one at a time into the
BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA.

We will pass the data into the parameters of this BAPI.

 then we will mark them as true that we have passed them.

At last BAPI will return a message which will be of type BAPIRET2, we will
stored it.

 step 6 :- Now we can display the return table in form of ALV using
CL_SALV_TABLE class.
