to SAP (for posting purpose etc.)

2. scenarios :

and needs to be transferred to SAP

Hi,

BAPI against BDC.

take any enjoy transaction , maximum you should avoid using BDC's. you should go for BAPI.

for ex MIGO you need to use <b>BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE</b>

Hi again,

1. BDC will work for the same system.

(ie. u cannot access if from other external system)

2. Generally BDC is used.

However, there are some ENJOY Transactions,

like ME23N (old one is ME23)

which do not suypport bdc

(bcos they have complex controls)

3. In such cases, BDC is useleess.

4. We have to go for BAPI Only.

You can see them in SE37,

Hi,

if you are doing any BDC's with SAP Enjoy transaction in that case you can go for BAPI's.

most of the cases we can avoid BDC's and go for BAPI's.

the coding is much simpler.

and if you are creating some material or sales order from outside environment other thans SAP like java, or .net then you need to use BAPI's .
