2860643 - Using API API_PRODUCT_SRV , Entity A_ProductBasicText with a PATCH request returns 404 error 'Resource Not Found'

Symptom

  • A Product's Basic Text can be updated in the App Manage Product Master Data and Change Material but not through the API API_PRODUCT_SRV
  • Using API API_PRODUCT_SRV , Entity A_ProductBasicText with a PATCH request returns 404 error 'Resource Not Found' even though the material exists. 

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • Material Master

Cause

The Basic Text for the Material does not exist .

The PATCH operation is for updating the entity. If there is no resource maintained for an entity then PATCH operation would fail. This is expected behavior.

Resolution

Since Basic Text does not exist, it should first bedcreated using POST request on A_ProductBasicText. Once the Basic Text is created, then it is possible to use PUT/PATCH operations to update it.
