EVENT
The event will run when creating and changing a material after writingthe material master data.

INTERFACE
For each database table, the interface provides the data for thecurrent status and the status before the change was made.
The interface includes the following parameter types:

• Update indicator (for example, UPD_MARA, UPD_MARC, ...)

These indicators display whether a change has been made to the assigneddatabase table (for example, MARA, MARC, ...).
Possible values for changes:
U = Update
I = Insert
An exception forms the update indicator UPD_ICDTXT_MATERIAL. Thisincludes 'X' if a change to the long text has been made.
If no change has been made, the parameter has the value SPACE.

• Import parameters

These parameters help transfer data for those database tables (forexample, MARA, MARC, MARD, MBEW, ...) for which only one data recordcan be transferred for each call.

• Table parameters

These parameters help transfer data for those database tables (MAKT,MARM, MEAN, ...) for which several data records can be transferred foreach call.
For table parameters (for example, for MAKT) the assigned updateindicator (for example, UPD_MAKT) is always 'U' if data records werecreated, changed or deleted. Every data record includes an additionalupdate indicator that specifies for the data record, whether it wascreated, changed or deleted.
If the data record was changed, a record with indicator 'U' can befound in both the table with the old values and the table with the newvalues.
If the data record was added, a record with indicator 'I' can be foundin the table with the new values.
If the data record was deleted, a record with indicator ' ' can befound in the table with old values.
An exception forms the table parameter T_ICDTXT_MATERIAL. In thistable, only the changed long text keys are transferred, no long textdata. The update indicator is therefore as follows:
'I', if the long text is new
'U', if the long text has been changed
'D', if the long text has been deleted
