Doubt in BAPI

Hi All I have a doubt in BAPI.
I have created a function module which is remote enabled module. I didnu2019t create any BAPI using Tcode SWO1 or BAPI. Am using this function module in my VB code to get the data from SAP, Its working fine am getting all data from SAP database.
My Question is since we can use sap Function module (which is remote enabled module) with out creating BAPI. Then what is the use of creating BAPI.?
If we click on radio button Remote enabled module is that function module act as BAPI?
Please help me.
Regards
Prajwal K.

Hi Prajwal,
Please check this link
RFC and BAPI Interfaces to SAP Systems
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/cf/8ccab761ea11d2804a00c04fada2a1/content.htm
BAPI's are the remote enabled Function modules which are defined in the Business Object Repository (BOR) as the methods of the business objects.I can say BAPI is the subset of RFC. RFC connects to the other system via BAPI and vice versa.
BAPI methods are RFC enabled function modules. The difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call.Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs.BAPI is having all Key fields, methods, interfaces etc.

Hi guys doubt on bapi please reply

hi,
i have doubt on which import parameters to be used in the bapi BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_REV_POST we have posting date and document no with us we are confused about what import parameters to be sent as an input to this bapi...........
reward will be given for nice reply...............

Give any field string (variable) of type BAPIACREV
Finally it will give these values..
Reversal document number:
o OBJ_TYPE Sender ID
o OBJ_KEY Reference number of the reversal document (source
document)
o OBJ_SYS Logical system
o OBJ_KEY_R Reference number of the document to be reversed.
i gave the sender id as bkpff which i was using as obj type for posting.
is obj_key the new unassigned document number in the row.
obj_sys gave the specific logical system.
obj_key_r can i give any document number generated during gl posting using bapi_acc_gl_posting_post
i even specified the other parameters such as posting date and reversal type but no reversal is done...........need more clarification on this .....
reward is sure..........

A standard test report is attached to BAPI CREATEFROMDAT2, as shown in transaction SXDA/Goto/DX-Program library/Sales order/CreateFromDat2 (Its name is SD_CREATE_TEST_DATA). You can use it as follows:
Run SXDA/Goto/DX- tools/
object type = BUS2032
Program type = bapi
program = CREATEFROMDAT2
file type = physical
file name = <give a name here, say order.txt>
Select From test program pushbutton and the test report is ran and downloads already existing orders to your file name. You can display it or even change it.

Some doubt on bapi

hi
1)if want to use bapi, we must check the function module in method, right? why so many people use the function module in the abap program?
2)what is the difference for bapi FM and other common FM?
thanks

BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
The following standardized BAPIs are provided:
Reading instances of SAP business objects
GetList ( ) With the BAPI GetList you can select a range of object key values, for example, company codes and material numbers.
The BAPI GetList() is a class method.
GetDetail() With the BAPI GetDetail() the details of an instance of a business object type are retrieved and returned to the calling program. The instance is identified via its key. The BAPI GetDetail() is an instance method. BAPIs that can create, change or delete instances of a business object type
The following BAPIs of the same object type have to be programmed so that they can be called several times within one transaction. For example, if, after sales order 1 has been created, a second sales order 2 is created in the same transaction, the second BAPI call must not affect the consistency of the sales order 2. After completing the transaction with a COMMIT WORK, both the orders are saved consistently in the database.
Create( ) and CreateFromData! ( )
The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Doubt in BAPI uploadation

Hi experts,
While uploading PO data using BAPI, In Itemx table all the fields uploading will have x but item field should have value? why it is?

Hi,
With the ITEMSX you tell the bapi which fields are to be inserted or changed. If you don't set the x the values of the fields from ITEMS are not taken into account.

Doubts with BAPI

Hi,
1) Can we use both Tables and Changing parameters while creating Function modules and BAPI? Please tell the difference b/w Tables and Changing?
2) Is it mandatory that we should pass internal tables with out header line through FM and BAPI?
3) Is it mandatory that Parameters that we pass should be "pass by value"?
Thanks in advance...

HI..,
1)We can use TABLES but we should not use CHANGING ...
Changing is in a way BY REFERENCE onli...
2)We can pass internal tables With header line also to the BAPI function module..
3)Yes it is mandatory that we need to pass the parameters only by Value ... Because RFC enabled function modules doesnot support "By Reference".
