Since you're asking a question here for the first time, I'd like to offer some friendly advice on how to get the most out of your community membership and experience.

First, please see https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers, as this resource page provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members.

I also recommend that you include a profile picture. By personalizing your profile, you encourage readers to respond: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/community-profile.html.

Now for some specific suggestions on how you might improve your question:

* Outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful) -- so members don't make suggestions that you've already tried.

A good and easy to use middleware for converting between XML documents and BAPI requests would be the SAP Business Connector.

Download: https://support.sap.com/sbc-download
(Vallid S-User and one-time registration is required, but otherwise it's free.)

Documentation: https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/bc/details.html

For an overview of the topic "BAPIs and XML", see the chapter "Functional Highlights" in the SAPAdapterGuide.pdf, in particular "Routing IDocs, RFCs and BAPIs", "Support for IDoc- and RFC-XML" and "Support for BizTalk XML envelopes for BAPI calls".But of course, in addition to the build-in XML formats for BAPIs (RFC-XML, bXML, BizTalk), the SAP BC can also be used to define your own hand-tailored XML formats, depending on what your sender/receiver application needs.

What kind of "BAPI XML request" are you talking about? Could you show the XML format that you expect?

For example below is for BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL if RFC xml format is used i.e compliance with namespace "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

- <BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL xmlns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

<PI_DISTR_CHAN xmlns="">01</PI_DISTR_CHAN>

<PI_DIVISION xmlns="">01</PI_DIVISION>

<PI_SALESORG xmlns="">001</PI_SALESORG>

</BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL>

and same bapi xml if BAPI xml format is used i.e in compliance with namespace "urn:sap-com:document:sap:business"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

- <Customer.GetDetail CustomerNo="0000000001" xmlns="urn:sap-com:document:sap:business">
