Hi Kiran,

You are right, We need not use BDC when the BAPI is available.

Note that the BAPI does all the screen validations and business validations and then creates the data.

Also, BAPI is faster method to upload data than BDC and it also gives u the option to simulate.

Note that the data is not written as soon as the BAPI is called. You will have to call the BAPI commit FM after the previous BAPI is successfully executed.

To summarize .. We need not use BDC if BAPI is available.

Its Just a basic thing like Bi-Cycles which we are using even if we have a BIKE/CAR and Frequent Fuel price hikes.
