Bapi to create customer master

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA

BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1

Or you can use FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL

what is BAPI?

BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).

I have answered this question before..

A BAPI is remotely enabled function module ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..

You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but

A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access. Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).

Please check out this thread..

Also refer to the following links..

Java Connector(JCO) can call not only BAPI's but also the function modules which are remotely enabled..

BAPI's as i said earlier are remotely enabled function modules..

Hence, JCO can call also BAPI's(n not only BAPI's as u mentioned).

The steps to be followed are :

1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).

[for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2]

2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).

2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has

-> Importing structures.

eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.

-> Tables parameters:

eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.

Note :

Only specify fields that should be changed

Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes

Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field

Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes

The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.

Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data

Possible UPDATEFLAGS:

U = change

D = delete

I = add

Example

1. Delete the whole order

2. Delete order items

3. Change the order

4. Change the configuration

Notes

1. Minimum entry:

You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.

You must always enter key fields for changes.

You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.

2. Commit control:

The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.

For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.

Thanks & regards

to keep it simple...for finding a BAPI suitable to ur application...run thru ur transaction...get the program name (system->status)...goto that program get the package (from attributes) ....se37...f4...info system...enter the package and will fetch u all the BAPis..

reward points if it helps
