SAP Good Movement BAPI : Create

Let’s start with SAP Good Movement BAPI to create a Material Document.

Within BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE there is a call to the standard function module MB_CREATE_GOODS_MOVEMENT which generate the SAP Material Doument.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE Sample ABAP Code

Here ABAP code showing how to create in ABAP program a SAP Material Document with the Standard BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE.

PS: This code is not mine, check the source here. You can use as a template for your ABAP Program using this SAP BAPI.

* Structures for BAPI
  data: gm_header  type bapi2017_gm_head_01,
        gm_code    type bapi2017_gm_code,
        gm_headret type bapi2017_gm_head_ret,
        gm_item    type table of bapi2017_gm_item_create with header line.
  data: gm_return  type bapiret2 occurs 0.
  data: gm_retmtd  type bapi2017_gm_head_ret-mat_doc.
 
  clear: gm_return, gm_retmtd. refresh gm_return.
 
 
* Setup BAPI header data.
  gm_header-pstng_date = sy-datum.
  gm_header-doc_date   = sy-datum.
  gm_code-gm_code      = '06'.                              " MB11
 
* Write 551 movement to table
  clear gm_item.
  move:  '551'        to gm_item-move_type ,
         '000000000040001234' to gm_item-material,
         '1'        to gm_item-entry_qnt,
         'EA'       to gm_item-entry_uom,
         '0004'     to gm_item-plant,
         '4000'     to gm_item-stge_loc,
         '201'      to gm_item-move_reas.
 
* Determine cost center per plant
  case xresb-werks.
    when '0004'.
      move '0000041430' to gm_item-costcenter.
    when '0006'.
      move '0000041630' to gm_item-costcenter.
    when '0007'.
      move '0000041731' to gm_item-costcenter.
    when '0008'.
      move '0000041830' to gm_item-costcenter.
  endcase.
 
  append gm_item.
 
* Call goods movement BAPI
  call function 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
       exporting
            goodsmvt_header  = gm_header
            goodsmvt_code    = gm_code
       importing
            goodsmvt_headret = gm_headret
            materialdocument = gm_retmtd
       tables
            goodsmvt_item    = gm_item
            return           = gm_return.

 
   call function 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
       exporting
            wait = 'X'.

You can find an other sample ABAP program reading a file and creating SAP Material Document for each line of the file here.

Create a Material Document with Equipment ( Serial number )

A common business case (for example in SAP PM Plant Management or SAP QM for Quality Management), you may have to create document material in SAP not for the material itself but for Equipment.

Actually, SAP Equipment is identified both by :

• Material Number
• Serial Number

Check more on SAP PM Equipment Creation Explained – General Data (1)

The same SAP BAPI situed above BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE can make the job.

You have just to fill the table GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER with list of Equipments.
