Some are obvious by their naming convention. However not all bapi modules are named as such. How can I identify if a fuction module is a bapi or just a function module?</P><P></P><P>Thanks in advance!</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:21:36 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/function-module-bapi-or-not/m-p/9328329#M1729033 Former Member 2013-02-08T13:21:36Z Re: Function Module: BAPI or not? https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/function-module-bapi-or-not/m-p/9328330#M1729034 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Michaell,</P><P></P><P><SPAN style="color: #333333; font-size: 12px; background-color: #ffffff;">Naming convetion for BAPI will start with BAPI where as FM doesnt need naming convention.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="color: #333333; font-size: 12px; background-color: #ffffff;">With this you can identify BAPI or FM from your code<BR /></SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:41:03 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/function-module-bapi-or-not/m-p/9328330#M1729034 Former Member 2013-02-08T13:41:03Z Re: Function Module: BAPI or not? https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/function-module-bapi-or-not/m-p/9328331#M1729035 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>A bapi has to an RFC.
