Parameters for BAPI

Former Member — Thu, 09 Mar 2006 13:55:59 GMT

I am calling BAPI function from XI (RFC Adapter).

But BAPI doesn't get my input parameters from sender system.

BAPI has parameters

IMPORTING

*" VALUE(I_INV_HEADER) LIKE BAPI_INV_HEADER_C

...

EXPORTING

*" VALUE(E_INV_HEADER) LIKE BAPI_INV_HEADER_D STRUCTURE

*" BAPI_INV_HEADER_D

TABLES

*" I_INV_ITEMS STRUCTURE BAPI_INV_ITEM_C

E_INV_ITEMS STRUCTURE BAPI_INV_ITEM_D OPTIONAL

I think IMPORTING are input parameters and EXPORTING are output parameters. Is it correct?

What is defference between TABLES BAPI_INV_ITEM_C and BAPI_INV_ITEM_D?

Some times u have to pass the data(input) as a structure/internal table to get the output also in structure.

Check in tables tab in the inside fm

until unless we see what are the fields , we can't say any thing. but they are import and export parameters.

you are passing BAPI_INV_HEADER_C , and getting BAPI_INV_HEADER_D this .

Hi Denis,

Imports are Input Parameters (i.e inputs to the BAPI) and

Exports are output Parameters.

TABLES BAPI_INV_ITEM_C

represents that the internal table of type BAPI_INV_ITEM_C is sent as input to the BAPI.

similarly BAPI_INV_ITEM_D is a different structure (E_INV_ITEMS internal table is of this structure)
