Recomendation regarding Batch Input for Configuration

Former Member — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:34:23 GMT

Hi Folks,

Our functional specialist asked me if it's possible to create a Batch Input for transaction OBA1. This transaction is a Financial Configuration Transaction.

I have searched for a BAPI and no luck. I don't believe its wise to create a Batch Input for this transaction.

Can anyone give me some advise regarding this subject.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Gilberto Li

Batch input (and interfaces in general) are used when processes are repeatedly scheduled or the volume of data is so high that it makes sense to develop one.

But configuration is generally a one time process with a limited amount of data.

It would probably take your functional consultant more time to test the batch input results that you generate than it would to enter the data him or herself.

I don't see much gain here.
