Hi manish,

1. When to use :

a) if we want to transfer data from

SAP to some external system

b) if we want to transfer data from external system

to SAP (for posting purpose etc.)

2. scenarios :

a) purhase order is made in exteranal system

and needs to be transferred to SAP

b) Employee data neeeds to be

transfereed to exernal system

so that the exteranl system can

show each employees own informatino (viz loan details, leave taken, etc)

via some web service/software.

c) when in QM, some mobile results

recording is to be done via

MOBILE HANDHELD DEVICE concept.

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 .

Hi,

BAPI against BDC.

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.
