BAPI for customer master

[Former Member]

The documentaion for BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 mentions Only for ONLINE Store!!! What does this mean? Will I be able to use this BAPI to load Customer Master data in general? If not, is there any other BAPI or RFC Function Module that I can use to load customer master data from an external application?

Hi Vishnu,

Yes you can use this BAPI and call it from an external application. Look to the documentation of the function in SE37 to see which fields are required to create a customer.

I looked at the code for this BAPI. It seems to be pulling most of the information from reference customer. Will I be able to populate all the fields on customer master using this BAPI without passing a reference customer number?

If this BAPI does not work without the reference customer number, can I use the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL to create a customer master record? If I can, I was planning on writing a custom BAPI that would call this FM.

Hi,

Be carefull because SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL is not RFC enabled, so maybe you have to put this FuMo into own programmed RFC funtion (see attributes of function in SE37).

Good luck,

Use function module 'SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL'.

Most of data will conver this function module.

only for long text u hv to use function modules

like 'READ_TEXT' 'INIT_TEXT''SAVE_TEXT'

U can also use BDC for same.
