Hello Kiran,

Most of the time BAPI will return you something which will indicate if successfull execution. It can be either in form of return parameter which will have structure BAPIRET1 or at times would return the document number etc. Let me know if you have come across any BAPI which doesn't return anything.

Hi Kiran,

The BAPI exports a parameter RETURN. This is a structure of type BAPIRETURN1. It will have a field TYPE. It will contain information whether the BAPI was successful or not. For e.x. S Success, E Error, W Warning, I Info, A Abort. It also has other fields like ID, NUMBER and MESSAGE which contains information on message id, message number and message text.

From this information you can identify whether the BAPI was successful or not and the exact message as well.
