MATERIAL_READ in SAP Cloud ERP: what replaces it?

Custom code that reads or writes MATERIAL_READ (FUNC) has to move to a released successor before it runs on SAP Cloud ERP or in ABAP Cloud. SAP names 29 successors: I_PRODUCT, I_PRODUCTDESCRIPTION, I_PRODUCTPLANTBASIC, I_PRODUCTPLANTCOSTING, I_PRODUCTPLANTFORECAST +24.

SAP successor classification: multipleObjects

Migration steps

  1. List every place your custom code reads or writes MATERIAL_READ; the ABAP Test Cockpit cloud-readiness checks report these usages.
  2. Replace each access with one of I_PRODUCT, I_PRODUCTDESCRIPTION, I_PRODUCTPLANTBASIC, I_PRODUCTPLANTCOSTING, I_PRODUCTPLANTFORECAST +24; pick the successor whose fields match the usage.
  3. All 29 successors are marked “Released” in the official release data, so the new code can use them in ABAP Cloud.
  4. Re-run the cloud-readiness check on the changed code against your target release.
