HI GAL

welcome to SDN..

If you have ever writen a BDC program in real time environment.. you would have not asked this question...

Anyways: BAPI (Busineess API) I hope you can google about API's

if you can search the forum about diff and advantages of BAPI's over BDC you will find your answer.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply's.

Sorry to say i think you misunderstood my question, i mean to say i have seen in many posts some experts are suggesting people to go for the option of BDC instead of BAPI. why is it so ?

(When they are asking regrading BAPI why would experts are suggesting them to go for BDC is their any reasons). here i got the confusion that's i why i have posted the question.

Thanks,

GAL

API's are created to suit most requirements of the businness Orgs and they are also some requirements which API's are not avaliable in such scenario, no other option is left other than to use a BDC.. the post what you are mentioning might be of such type..
