Hello bolivs22

Functionally those two functions are almost the same. In fact BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 uses SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE internally.

The main difference is that BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 is released for customer usage:

whereas SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE is not.

You should use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 in your developments. It is safer and SAP supports it and guarantees its stability - SAP Help Advantages of BAPIs
