Creating and Deleting Control Characteristic Associations with Parts

The following API structure table lists the API fields that are required to create or delete MIC associations with a Material specification (or Part) within the current version of SAP distribution targets.

SAP does not provide any standard APIs to create/update/delete MIC associations with a Material specification (Transaction code: QS61). This custom RFC has been developed using the BDC method provided by SAP, which records the screen and its' fields, which are used to fill the values on the screen.

This custom-RFC is developed and tested in standard SAP IDES system instances (ECC 5.0 & ECC 6.0). The RFC fails if there is a difference in the screens or screen-flows (if any in your SAP systems).

Although this ZRFC is not declared as “commit required”, from external system for multi threading mode, it is required to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to end the session otherwise locking errors may occur.
