Definition

Indicator that controls creation of the application log.

Use

If MATMAS IDocs, MATMAS_MASS_BAPI IDocs or ARTMAS IDocs are processed in the receiving system, the system usually creates an application log that contains all messages generated during processing. Since creating the application log is an extremely lengthy process, it can be useful in certain situations to either only include actual error messages in the application log, or to not create an application log at all. This indicator gives you this control option in the receiving system.

The same control option is available to you if you call the corresponding BAPI function module directly (using the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA for MATMAS_MASS_BAPI IDocs, and the function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT for ARTMAS IDocs) instead of using IDoc processing.

If you define the MATMAS_MASS_BAPI IDoc or the ARTMAS IDoc for specific customers, for instance during data migration from a legacy system, or if you call the BAPI function modules directly, you can also use the control option of preventing creation of the application log for each IDoc or BAPI call. To do so, select the corresponding indicator in the IDoc or BAPI, regardless of the way in which the control indicator has been defined in Customizing.

This indicator is found in the IDoc or BAPI as follows:

  • MATMAS_MASS_BAPI IDoc: Segment E1MATMAS_MASS_BAPI, Field NOAPPLLOG
  • Function module BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA: Parameter NOAPPLLOG
  • ARTMAS IDoc: Segment E1BPE1MATHEAD, Field NO_APPL_LOG
  • Function module BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT: Parameter HEADDATA, Field NO_APPL_LOG
