Documentation

Definition

Causes the system to use customer-specific structure ZMMH1 when transferring material master data and not structure BMMH1.

Use

When transferring material master data, the system uses structure BMMH1 as standard to transfer main data (record type 2). If you wish to transfer only a subset of the fields defined in structure BMMH1, you can define this subset in customer-specific structure ZMMH1. By setting this indicator, the system uses structure ZMMH1. This allows you to keep the transfer file as small as possible.

Procedure

Example

Dependencies

If you want the system to use structure ZMMH1 to create the sequential file, you must run program RMMMBIMG prior to data transfer, having set the parameter "Different main data structure". This causes the program statements required for data transfer to be generated for table ZMMH1.

If you use the direct input method (DI) for data transfer, you must instead run program RMDATING with the parameter "Different main data structure" set.
