Hi Nagini,

It will be same as using any Function Module.

The only difference here will be you will have certain

structure or table fields to populate before executing the BAPI.

call commit after calling BAPI.

<b> CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.</b>

Eg:

REFRESH i_bapi_return.

CHECK NOT i_profile[] IS INITIAL.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ISUPROFILE_IMPORT'

EXPORTING

uploadinfo = i_mr_input

TABLES

profilevalues = i_profile

return = i_bapi_return.

REFRESH: i_profile.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'.

Reward points if this helps.

Hi Nagini,

BAPIs are function modules that can "simply" be called by a CALL FUNCTION from ABAP-Code. You can use the SAP-BAPI-Exporer (T-Code BAPI) to find usefull bapis and see what they do and how thier parametes should be filled.

Please check this links for BAPI usage.
