The difference being is, instead of processing screens they validate fields and directly load the data into tables using standard function modules. For this reason, DI programs are generally faster (RMDATIND - Material Master DI program works at least 5 times faster than the BDC counterpart) and so is suited for loading large volumes of data.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Chester</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 10:04:58 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/direct-input/m-p/3044475#M720630 Former Member 2007-11-08T10:04:58Z
