bapi - program - conection to external system

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

We would like to have automatic creation of sales orders from external system.

We would like to have, that external system will send data to sap, and sap will automatically create sales order. I found sample code (creation of sales order) here in expert forms. Thanks a lot!!!

My question is another part. How to set that external program will call sap and executed program with selected parameters? Is this a big issue?

Thanks in advance

Saso

Hi,

Instead of a report program make it a RFC using SE37 transaction.

Selection fields would be made IMPORT parameters inside RFC.

Result - i.e. Sales order no. should be the EXPORT parameter.

Call the RFC using the external system & pass the necessary IMPORT parameters same as selection field data.

Best regards,

Prashant

Hi, can you write more about how to create RFC?

Thanks and BR

when I'm creating FM there is a error message....

All parameters in RFC require a reference field or reference type

what could be wrong?

IMport tab:

parameter

p_AUART TYPE AUART
