Sam,

Keep in mind that BDCs are a very, old SAP technology. SAP does not develop much of anything (if anything) that is new using BDC. Reason being that BDCs have no external systems capabilities. BAPIs allow external systems/programs (i.e. a Visual Basic or C++ program) to run SAP business logic by calling the BAPI.

BAPIs are SAP's newer method for running business logic/transactions. Your time would best spent studying and learning how to work with BAPIs.

Don't forget the points for helpful answers.

Sam,

Your other issue is that SAP will change screens as they develop newer products. Some of the screen objects that you coded your BDC against may no longer exist on the screen at all.... or have been moved to new screen.

If that happens, you must re-code your BDC programs in preparation for an upgrade.

With BAPIs, SAP assumes all of the responsiblity. They will make sure that their BAPIs still work after upgrade.
