clarification in BAPI

Former Member — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:06:22 GMT

Hi Guru's,

My requirement is adding one field already existing BAPI.

BAPI name BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT1.

This bapi displays one message,

Caution: Method is obsolete as Release 4.6c.

Am i use this bapi?. (or)Take another bapi?

What is the meaning of tha message?.

Thanks & Regards,

SReddy.

It is recommeded by SAP not to use obsolete BAPI's. You can use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 instead.

Hello Reddy

Call transaction SWO1 and display business object BUS2032 (= Sales Order).

Open the Methods node in the tree view.

You will see a STOP icon behind the business object "methods"

SalesOrder.CreateFromData
SalesOrder.CreateFromData1

which means that a newer "method" has superseeded these two old "methods".

NOTE: In the context of business objects the term methods has just a semantic meaning. These "methods" are implemented by BAPIs.

Regards
