hi,

In the screen level: if it's mandatory field then u can find [tickmark] in the input field.

In the BAPI level: select the import tab check about the optional, if it's not enable[no tick mark] then it's mandatory input field.

Hi,

It's simple to identify the mandatory fields in BAPI.

First check the Required parameters which are not marked as optional.

Other simple way is to identify the required fields that are necessary to be passed to the actual transaction(for which the BAPI is to be executed).Pass the same fields to the BAPI parameters.This is a simple way to identify the required fields that needs to be passed to the BAPI.

Just to note that BAPI is nothing but execution of a particular transaction(for eg:VA02) to affect the table at the table level.Whereas actual transaction execution (VA02) can be viewed as screen or dialog level execution.

Hope this helps..
