Prerequisites

In order that this function does not impair system performance, the indexes BMA and MPN must exist in the table MARA (material master). Once you have generated the indexes, they are updated by the system.

Activities

You generate an index as follows:

  1. From the system menu, choose Tools ® ABAP Workbench.
  2. Choose Development ® Dictionary.
  3. Change the database table MARA.
  4. Choose Goto ® Indexes...
  5. Choose the index BMA (number of the internal material master).
  6. Set the indicators Non-unique index and Index to all database systems.
  7. Activate your changes.

Also perform steps 5 to 7 for the index MPN (manufacturer part number/number of a manufacturer).
