This functionality isn't terribly well named. What it refers to is adding an API method of a business object.

You can generate an Idoc wrapper for a business object method via transaction BDBG. To add this Idoc and message type to your distribution model you need to use the 'Add Bapi' function, rather than 'Add Message'.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for reply.can you please explain why this methodology is not preferred?

Also can you plese give a scenario where this method is preferred over Message type method.

BDBG is not that uncommon... When there are no standard IDOCs or IDOC function modules, We can generate our own IDOC type using the BDBG transaction... Check out this link

Kris's link pretty much says it all about how to use this. All I'd add further to this is that this is a useful shortcut to building custom Idocs without having to set everything up in the Idoc editor etc. Since it is based on a function module interface you are limited to flat structures or tables with flat structures (i.e. no complex nesting like many standard Idocs).

However if you just need an Idoc with a simple structure this can be a real time-saver; I've used this approach many times.

Custom idocs can be always triggered using custom z program with mater_idoc_distribute.

Can you guide why where specifically this method used?

Hi Sanjay_int,

Sometimes when we add message type in distribution model, it doesn't allow us to add, then we go for Add Bapi.

take an example. Idoc for accounting is Acc_document03 & its message type is Acc_document.

when we add this msg type in distribution model it doesnot allow us. then we add Bapi " bapi_acc_document_post".

Hope it may help you.

Regards,

Jitu

Is it only scenario where ADD BAPI functionality to be deployed.

Can you give more scenarios where ADD BAPI is most preferable.

Hi,

help.sap.com link doesn't provide practical scenario.

HI jitu188 ,

I tried your scenario in distribustion model.

But idoc is not generated.Is there any sort of event linkage the way we do in workflow?

How this distribution model bapi and BO is being triggered and instanciated?

Kindly help.

Hi Sanjay,

Please first explain me u scenario.

Re: ADD BAPI in distribution model

Former Member — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 14:39:04 GMT

I am learning ALE_BAPI interface method.

I used BO BUS6035 and method POST in distribution model.

Outbound function module is - ALE_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST which i found from BDGB.

Can you please guide how this function module for generating idoc will be triggered?

I appreciate your earlier replies.

Can you please guide how this function module for generating idoc will be triggered?

Would it be automaticaly triggered when the document will be posted from standard SAP tcode used for posting of acc document

as BO will be triggered from SAP?

What T-code you used for posting acc documnt?

Thanks.

Hi Sanjay,

When u see BUS6035(Accouting) in SWO1 it shows no event.

but when u see BUS2012 (Purchase Order) it shows event.

So as I understand we cant trigger it through a tcode, u should use FM MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.

Thanks

Hi Jitu,

gr8 to se ur reply.

I think ur suggesting custom idoc for accounting.

Though we need not use MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.

We can still create custom idoc using BDBG.

Just need to instanciate BO-

CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_CREATE'

EXPORTING

objtype = 'ZBUS6035_A' "My z- BO ,Here we can use standard BO

objname = 'ZBUS6035_A' "Custom method

IMPORTING

object = l_objhnd

EXCEPTIONS

no_remote_objects = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

************************************************************************

break-point.

pass data to container for bapi

SWC_GET_ELEMENT lt_cont 'Date1' DATE1.

fire BAPI

CALL FUNCTION 'SWO_INVOKE'

EXPORTING

ACCESS = 'C'

object = l_objhnd

verb = 'ZBUS60351_A'

PERSISTENT = ' '

IMPORTING

return = l_return

VERB =
MODE_ID =

TABLES

container = lt_cont.

My problem is resolved now.Icould use ADD BAPI for IDOC triggere.

Thanks everybody for kind help.
