Insert and update extended fields:
Bapi: bapi_material_maintaindata_rt
Clientext like bapie1maraextrt customer-defined client-specific material data
Clientextx like bapie1maraextrtx information on update for clientext
These two are extended fields used to update the product.

Customer-defined client-specific article data

Description

If the general basic data for the material has been extended to include customer-specific fields, you can use this structure to transfer the data for these customer-specific fields.

The key fields are already specified. you can store the customer-specific data in the data container provided by fields field1 to field4. the split into four individual fields was necessary for purely technical reasons. if the data is transferred using this structure, the structure information for the customer-specific fields is lost.

Example
Extending table Mara using the following append structure:

Structure name zmara

Field name	Type name	Data Type	Length
Zcust1	Zcust1	Char	10
Zcust2	Zcust2	Char	2
Zcust3	Zcust3	Char	5

The data can be transferred to this structure by appending the field contents of function, material, zcust1, zcust2, and zcust3.

Information on update for clientext

Description

This structure (checkbox structure) is used to determine which fields in the assigned user data structure (clientext) contain change-relevant information.

This makes it possible to supply valid values only to the relevant fields in the assigned user data structure. these fields are then selected in the checkbox structure, ensuring that all nonselected fields retain their current value in the database.

Note

If the indicatorAll_fieldsIn the structure headdata is set, the information in the checkbox structure is irrelevant; that is, no data records are required in the checkbox structure (see also the documentation for Data ElementUpdall).
