Need help on BAPI

Former Member — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:31:34 GMT

Hi all,

Appreciate your help on how I can use bapi_creditcheck? I can't see any documentation on this. My program is design to do credit checks on orders and create a block for those that are beyond the credit exposure.

How do I use BAPI's in general and can anyone show a sample code on BAPI's, it would be best if the sample is bapi_creditcheck.

thanks.

HI,

The easiest way to find sample code for BAPIs is to read the associated documentation (if available) or to use the Where-Used function to find it being used by SAP themselves.

I haven't used this specific BAPI, but would suggest trying the Where-Used feature first and if that's a bust, looking at the BAPI in SE37 and looking at the interface tables and fields to work out what data it is expecting.

A BAPI is always RFC enabled and is a method of an object, but it is in essence still a FM.

Next method is looking at the import structures and trying to work out what they need, if you use test mode in SE37 in your development system you shouldn't do any harm.

Cheers,

Chandra Sekhar.

hi,

BAPI is a normal RFC enabled FM. The input to a BAPI normally comes from any Front-End Applications, where SAP is used as Back-End. Considering your case, BAPI_CREDITCHECK has got 2 tables. One is the Input table and the other being output table. So pass in your input via table IT_CREDITLINES to the BAPI and do remember to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT whenever you call a BAPI in your code.

This way, you pass in your input data and retrieve data from the other table ET_... in this bapi.

Reward point if it really helps.

Thanks,
