Create Part

This API is used to create all material data in SAP and needs to be called for each material to be created in each plant. This API does not process multiple materials in multiple organizations with one API invocation. The following table provides details on this API.

The BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA passes data in English. Additional characterization is required to render other supported languages.

Note the following:

• PlantData and PlantdataX should not contain duplicate values for that same part and plant combination. The same part and plant combination may exist in different views, such as design and manufacturing. For this reason you should only enter one entry for the same part and plant combination.

• PRTDATA and PRTDATAX should only be populated for Process Material or Tooling of the category Tool, and not for Material.

• The MRP view is only required when the Procurement Type (Source) is created or changed.

• The procurement type in the PLANTDATA STRUCTURE is required if creating or changing the Procurement Type (Source).

• The procurement type in the PLANTDATAX STRUCTURE is required if creating or changing the Procurement Type (Source).

This API creates a new revision level for the material created with BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA function. The revision level is created when a change number is defined and sent from Windchill PDMLink. The change master record for the change number must exist in SAP before running this API. The following table provides details on this API.

WC Attribute Name	API Structure	API Field	API Field Description	Value If Default	Source	Transform
Change number	HEADER	CHANGE _NO	Change Number		Windchill	N/A
N/A	HEADER	FL_ COMMIT_ AND_ WAIT	Flag for Commit and Wait	X	Default	N/A

Version	HEADER	REV_ LEVEL_ NEW	REV_ LEVEL_ NEW		Windchill	N/A

This API should be invoked before the CCAP_REV_LEVEL_MAINTAIN API is called to create a part revision level. It is not necessary to pass any data into this function module. The defaults written into the API when it is done executing meet theWindchill ESI requirements. The following table illustrates the defaults passed in automatically upon execution of this API and provides details on it.

This API is used to commit a transaction to the SAP system. If the return message generated from executing the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA API is a success, then this API is executed. When this API is executed, all part data sent from Windchill PDMLink, if it includes plant data, it is committed to the MARA and MARC SAP database tables. Refer to the Windchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP for an explanation of howWindchill ESI interprets the results of the SAP API calls. The following table provides details on this API.

No data is passed through the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT function module but it is necessary to call the module to release the material in case invalid data is passed through. There are no variations of data inputs for this API for different data requirements. Refer to theWindchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP for an explanation of how SAP APIs are called in sequence to execute eachWindchill ESI business function.

This API is used to rollback a transaction to the SAP distribution target. If the return message generated from the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA function is not a success then this API is executed. When this API is executed, all part data sent fromWindchill PDMLink is rolled back, and if plant data is sent, it is not committed to the MARA and MARC SAP database tables. Refer to theWindchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP for an explanation of howWindchill ESI interprets the results of the SAP API calls. The following table provides details on this API.

No data is passed through the BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK function module but it is necessary to call the module. Refer to theWindchill Enterprise Systems Integration Customizer's Guide - SAP for an explanation of how SAP APIs are called in sequence to execute eachWindchill ESI business function.
