Hi,

BDC is used to update Bulk data.

It is a SAP technic that allows automating the input in transactions.

It can be either for updating the existing records or creating new records.

For example,

You can create BDC to upload new customer master records for transaction XD01.

Also, you can create a BDC to update the address details of customers (XD02).

best regards,

We use BDC so that the validations that are in built in each Transaction are considerd, for eg we made a BDC for XK01 for vendor master creation, now every validation used in XK01 is automitically used by our BDC program, which is not possible (or is very difficult to capture) using Insert or Modify statement.

Hi,

Batch input is one of the primary ways in which data can be transferred into the R/3 System. Batch input is used for bulk data transfers and not for near real-time data transfers.

Hi,

Bulk data upload or modification is very easy with BDC, validations are also taken care of and programming is also done by the system, your only major concern is creating the flatfile for upload.

other options for the same are LSMW , SECATT.

Thanks
