Question:
Hi gurus,
I am having a problem in extending the material master views via BDC.
When I enter the data in the 1st screen and then press "Select views", I get the select view screen. Here the view I want to extend is appearing only if I page down in the scroll bar area or pull the vertical scroll bar down. But I am unable to use the source code generated by the recording(SHDB) for this. Could someone help me on how to do this?
Thanx in advance.

Answer:
My advice for creating / extending Material Masters is to use the standard SAP program RMDATIND. Use of this program is facilitated by the LSMW tool. Using BDC's for material master can in some cases be problematic where as using the LSMW is very straightforward

Hi guys....I checked the forum already and got few answers. Since, the client wants to run the upload tru BDC only and since we are running on 4.0b, I would like to get suggestions regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Again you need to search this forum, there is a post that tells you how to get the position of the views, based on material type.
And moreover you should explain to your client that there are other methods better than BDC.

Hi TwoABAPpers........
Thanks for the reply. But, in my case I am trying to extend the views. I have already created the basic data1, basic data2, and Sales related views. I need to create the Accounting views for the material now. This is where I am facing the problem since these views are not appearing initially in the "view selection" screen. If I do a "page down" in the vertical scroll, I get the views. But, this "page down" doen not work.
Help me plz. I am still searching the forum using key words - "BDC" and "Material". I am yet to get a posting which can give me answer.
Thanks.
Answer:
Hi,
Still you can use the above mentioned method.
Select Basic Data view and go inside.
And in the next screen give BDC_OKCODE = SP24 and it will take you to accounting 1 view.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi TwoABAPpers.........
For creating further views, I need to go thru the transaction "MM01" which does not allow me to go to the basic data screens at all as they have already been created. If I try to go thru "MM02", I am not allowed to go to accounting view as it has not been created yet. Please clarify.
Thanks.
