Which BAPI to be used?

Former Member — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 05:44:07 GMT

I am little confused with duplicate BAPIs.

For example, PurchaseRequisition has two BAPIs for creating a record -->

CreateFromData = "bapi_requisition_create" and

CreateFromData1 ="bapi_pr_create"

It is the case for few other Business objects. And these "new" BAPIs are titled additionally as "Enjoy ......" in some cases.

When i look at version info, it indicates that the new BAPI (ending with 1) are from latest versions.

Can someone throw light on which BAPIs should be used in which case?

Thanks, Ram

Hi,

If you find th eDuplicate BAPI check the Release Version and use accordingly.

1. Create from data

2. Create from Data1

Ganapathi Ram ,

The latest versions of BAPI include much enhanced features and capabilities of the functionalaties.

As per my knowledge it is recommended to use the BAPI which is latest version. Because it can meet the recent updated functionalities. Even though CreateFromData and

CreateFromData1 does similar functionality , CreateFormData1 has additional capability .

Hope this helps

Basically As SAP is also evolving like Enjoy transactions are coming same way these BAPI are also getting adapted. Reagrding your question related to

CreateFromData = "bapi_requisition_create" and

CreateFromData1 ="bapi_pr_create" I have used both of them and found that one of the BAPI trigger implicit commit.
