BAPI

229. What is BAPI?
BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface, which is used to

Communicate data between SAP
to SAP as well as SAP to Non-SAP Systems.
BAPI’s are nothing but API methods, these methods are used to create Interfaces.
BAPI’s are always process oriented.
230. What is the difference between BAPI RFC Function module and Normal RFC
Function module? ***
46
BAPI’s are RFC enabled Function modules which is converted into API method, which
is used to create
Interfaces. And RFC Function module are always Normal (Not be converted into API
method).
BAPI’s are going to available under BOR(Business object repository), while RFC are
available under R/3
repository.
BAPI’s are Process oriented method and RFC’s are Non-Process oriented methods.
BAPI there is no direct system call, while RFC are direct system call.
BAPI Function module are going to use Update the data into database, we can also
use the BAPI Function
modules in the Conversion programs (BDC).
Instead of using BDC’s we can use BAPI function module for Upload the data into
database. It’s not possible for
Normal RFC’s.
231. Have you created any Custom BAPI’s? What is the Business Requirement?
Yes, I have created some custom BAPI’s for whenever I create a Purchase order and
automatically update the
purchase order in other systems.
232. What are the steps to create Custom BAPI’s?
1. Whenever we create a custom BAPI, First we need to create an RFC Function module
by using Transaction
SE37 and must define the type of Function Module as Remote enable (RFC).
2. RFC Function modules are available in R/3 Repository and BAPI’s are available in
Business object repository
(BOR).
3. If you want to create any custom BAPI’s , we need to create a Business object by
using transaction SWO1,
Create a Business object and provide Object type, Name, Description and Program
name of your BAPI.
4. If you want to add any RFC function module for your custom BAPI’s, the RFC
Function module is must
converted into API method. (Application Programming Interface) by Utilities -> API
methods -> Add
method.
5. Next step is Implement the methods and Release the Business object as well as
methods. Now you can
ready to use BAPI. You can see your BAPI in Business object repository by using
transaction BAPI.
233. Have you used BAPI’s for Interfacing SAP system to Non-SAP system (.net, Java
etc)?
234. Have you worked any BAPI FM’s? have you upload data into database using
BAPI’s?
Yes, I have worked on various BAPI Function Modules like BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA for
upload the
Material master data and also add some custom fields as per client requirement by
using BAPI extension
structure (BAPI_TE_MARA and BAPI_TE_MARAX) and update it.
And also Worked on BAPI_PO_CREATE – For create Purchase order
And also worked on BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATE - For create Sales orders as per client
requirement.
235. Have you done BAPI Extension, what are the Steps ? for which Function Module
you have used?
47
Yes, I have done BAPI Extension for add some Custom fields in Standard MARA table
as per client requirement. I
have used BAPI_TE_MARA and BAPI_TE_MARAX standard structure for Appending some
custom fields into
standard MARA table. In this scenario I have used BAPI_METERIAL_SAVEDATA Function
module for updating
the Extension fields with the help of EXTENSIONIN and EXTENSIONINX tables.
I have also worked BAPI Extension for VABK and EKKO tables by using BAPE_VBAK,
BAPE_VBAKX as well as
BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADER, BAPI_TE_MEPOHEADERX standard structures.
236. What is the Purpose of BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT? ***
Whenever we use BAPI Function modules for updating the Data into database we must
write a COMMIT WORK
statement.
SAP does not recommends directly use COMMIT WORK statement,.
Instead of COMMIT WORK, SAP recommended to use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT Function
module.
If you can use COMMIT WORK statement is works Internal system only , whenever use
BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT it’s works and interfacing from external system.
237. How we are going to handle errors in BAPI’s? ***
Within the BAPI function modules we are going to define a RETURN (export) parameter
for Handling errors in
BAPI’s.
The RETURN parameter may be based on the following reference structures: BAPIRET2
You must use this reference structure when developing new BAPIS.
BAPIRET1, BAPIRETURN.
(or)
Using a function Module BAPI_MESSAGE_GETDETAIL for Handle the Error Messages in
BAPI.
