BAPIs or RFCs only

[Former Member]

hi all,

I would like to fetch the month names, which BAPI or RFC can i use for that? I do not wish to use MONTH_NAMES_GET as its a function module. I need only BAPIs or RFCs which can fetch me that.

I would also like to get the plant information for a particular vendor, which BAPI or RFC can fetch me that?

Regards

Hi,

BAPI's and RFC's are function modules too. It's important to understand what this actually means...

An RFC is simply a function module that is enabled for remote calls. All SAP BAPI's are RFC enabled.

BAPI's are also function modules but are built to deliver an API to a business object, such as BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE which is a function module that allows for changing sales orders.

So, if you can't find an RFC-enabled module that does what you want (I don't have access to an SAP system at the mo so can't check for a suitable module) you could always create a custom Z-function module that is RFC enabled and use it to wrap around the standard module you want to use.

Of course, I'm pretty sure there will already be a service for getting month names but again, without access I can't suggest what it would be from memory.
